John,
Below is all I have compiled to date on descendants of Wait and Miraette
(HIGBY) Carpenter. If I come across any additional I will forward it on to
you. I am trying to find a living descendant of Beecher HIGBY - if you know
of any through Wait and Miraette's line I would greatly appreciate being put
in contact with one. I am researching an historic building in Essex Co.
that Beecher designed and built. My e-mail address is staudt(a)cptelco.net or
they could write me at:

Thank-you for the help you've given me! I very much appreciate your time
and effort.
Karla

Subject: Bessie Melissa CARPENTER b. 23 Mar 1880 Troy, Rensselaer County,
New York; d. aft 1900
I am looking for any information on Bessie Melissa CARPENTER b. 23 Mar
1880
in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York.
She was the daughter of Beecher and Julia (CLARKE) CARPENTER.
Bessie was living in 1892 at the time of her grandmother's death, and the
1900 census information for her parents shows 1 child born, 1 living. I
do not find Bessie in the 1900 census under Carpenter, so I am assuming
that she was married at that time.
I have a lot of Bessie's ancestry to share.
Thank-you for any help you can offer,
Karla
