This Ambrose Carpenter is probably the one whose
father Uriah Carpenter was born c1822, son of
Ashman Carpenter who was born 1801 and died 1886
in Marion Co. WV. Ashman was a son of John
Carpenter who was born c1765 in NY or NJ or
England (per census records) and died c1826 in
Monongalia Co. VA. There is strong evidence in
the family names of descendants, of a connection
to the New England Carpenters. Ambrose may be
the one who married on 10 Oct 1899 in Marion Co.
WV to Bertha Heston, but he does not appear to be
in the 1900 census. Bertha appears to be
enumerated by her maiden name, living with her
apparent father, with one child whose name
appears to be Uriah. Is this the one you are
researching?

Looking for any information on a Uriah
Carpenter and in particular his
son Ambrose. They lived in the Winfield area
in Marion Co.WV, outside of
Fairmont in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Best I can tell he had
about 7 children. I am particularly interested
in Ambrose, his son, who
married a Bertha Heston in 1899 but I can not
find him in the 1900 census
and she is living at home with her father and
young son. Any information
is appreciated.
