I do not believe this John Carpenter was married to a Francis.
1. John Carpenter and Francis sell property in or near Blaggs Cove 1784.
John Carpenter ABC # 300 (believed to be so of John 17 and John 24) His
first child with Abigail Moore was born 1779.
2. Distribution of his property in the papers I recently got from Albany do
not name any of the children that were supposed to be born to him and
Francis.
It looks like there are two John Carpenters associated with Blaggs Cove John
I Carpenter whose widow Jane (Howell) Carpenter and Hezekiah Howell sold his
land.
I also think that ABC has the John Carpenters mixed up. He states that
William had sons John and Daniel and John sold property to Daniel. This John
would have lived to age 100 if that is so.
Has anyone had enough interest in the Orange Co. John Carpenters to try to
untangle them?
