Harry Carpenter was b Stanstead, Quebec 12 April 1802, the son of Comfort
and Thankful (Kent/Canfield) Carpenter. He mar. (1) Esther Wright and had
3 children by her: Thankful Emily, Harriet Pamelia and Amos Wright who was
b 6 March 1836 in the US. About 2 years ago, I found a record for a 2nd
marriage for Harry. He mar. Angeline Barbeau 25 Jan 1847 (Bedford Dist.
Records). Beyond this meager information, I knew nothing else of Harry
Carpenter. Today while researching the family of his brother, Charles, who
resided in Keeseville, Clinton Co., NY, I found Harry and Angeline
Carpenter recorded in the 1870 census living in Peru, Clinton Co., NY.
They had the following children: Charles b CAN ca 1852; Malvina b CAN ca
1856; William b CAN ca 1858; Louisa b CAN ca 1864; Susan b NY ca 1866. In
1880 Angeline Carpenter was recorded in Peru as a widow working as a
servant in the household of David Nelson. Her son William lived in the
same household. Daughter Susan was also recorded in Peru as a servant in
another household. The Carpenter Memorial lists just the 3 children Harry
had with Esther Wright so I hope this additional information helps another
researcher to make a family connection. If anyone can add to this
information about Harry Carpenter and his children, I would love to hear
from you. The Carpenter line from William of Rehoboth is:
