I am trying to find out info on The Carpenter Chaple ,Now known as ,Wallingfrd Methodist
Church, In 1870 John & Rachel Carpenters son Richard Carpenter gave the ground for the
, Meth Episcopil Chaple & GraveYard, I was told that there are Hundreds of
Carpenter's buried there, This info was sent to me by way of a letter that ny Aunt had
recieved from a Don D Adams. He also mentions in another letter that Daniel
Carpenter's will which he wrote on May 23, 1850 and proved June 17, 1850, His will is
in Lewis Co Ky Court House Will Book D, Page 375, He also mentions trying to prove that
Daniel is either Brother or first Cousin to John Carpenter who Married Rachel Hinton? (the
last name is hard to read) and died 1837 ( i guess he meant john carpenter died 1837
because daniel died 1850) he says that John & Rachles Tombstones are still standing,
He says that he knows that John carpenters father was Richard carpenter who built a log
cabin in 1793 in mason County Ky which is now Flemin!
g County Ky,It says that Richarddied about 1834 on his farm near Wallingford, He also
mentions Harvey son of Daniel had a brothe named Daniel who went west and a brother named
George who was given 80 acres in Indiana, He says he also had another brother William.He
also mentions that he had heard that His Carpenters came from England and settled in the
eastern northern states such as New York,and came down by way of Maryland,
Pennsylvania,and then Ohio and in to Kentucky he says in 1798 Fleming County wasformed and
thats where most of the Capenters were.He also mentions other SDurnames such as,Miller
,Breeze,Wright,Carter,Duffy,Hinton?,Elliot,Kincaid,
Hunter,Hurst5,,Gooding,Hickerman,Jones,,Doyle,Plummer,Sutton, Don also mentions a Foxport
Pleasureville Cemetery,in one of his letters. he mentions a Dud Carpenter whop was a
Undertakesr in Wallinford Fleming Co, Dud died in 1935,He also mentions a Mr Richard Elke
Carpenter who lived in wallingford with wife Harriet,Elke died in!
1896 hewife died in 1904 aso a Joseph Frank Carpenter who was father of Mrs Lula Hunter (
Carpenter) Kinkaid born 1908, Frank Died in 1950 in Maysville Ky, If anybody sees familer
names ,places or anything please contact me ,I want to know more about this line of
carpenters and tie them in to The New England Carpenters ,also about daniels will in Lewis
Co Ky Courthouse will book d page 375 if anyone has access to that book or knows who
does.I believe the delema of Danile and John being brothers has been proved that Daniel
was Brother to John which makes Richard Carpenter Daniles father,Richard who built his log
cabin in 1793 in what was mason Co Ky at the time and now is Fleming Co Ky.,I hope all
this isn't to confusing ,I know it is for me ,But maybe someone can make since of it.
Thank You for any help,and Thank You to those who read the whole thing!!
Sincerely,
Jerry Tuttle
