Still searching for any Information on Henry Carpenter, b. ca 1795 in New
York.
We believe he lived in Syracuse and Salina, New York.
1830 NY Census shows a Henry in Salina, Onondaga Co., NY
What I believe we know is:
Married: ca 1820 in Salina, NY, Roxanna Fay, b. 07/03/1797, d. 12/07/1876,
dau. of Jonathan Fay & Rhoda White.
Children: Charlotte; Marion b. ca 1822; Jerome b. 09/16/1824 in NY;
Thaddeus b. ca 1829; Wallace Fay b, ca 1832; Henry Jr. b. ca 1835; Byron Fay &
Augusta M. b. 09/23/1837 in Illinois.
Jerome says he grew up in Syracuse and Salina, New York but moved in 1837
to Illinois with his mother and family.
Henry Jr. says the family moved to Ottawa, IL and his father died there very
soon afterwards.
Roxanna shows up in early Ottawa church records but no mention of Henry.
I am descendant from Augusta M. Carpenter who married Henry Augustus Adams
in Sandwich, Illinois.
