I am descended from an Eber Carpenter born in 1799 in CT who died in
Highland, Oakland Co., Michigan Aug. 2, 1856. Supposedly his father was
Daniel Carpenter. I suspect that the father may be Daniel Carpenter born in
Coventry 9 May 1755 who married Judith Perry in Woodstock Jan 1783 and had
child Judith born in Woodstock Dec. 18, 1784. In the 1790 census he seems
to be living in East Windsor in Hartford Co. with 2 males under 16 and 2
females, so it would seem he had a daughter and a son. In 1800 census I
find a father and son living in Stafford, Tolland Co., CT and Daniel Jr.
( 45 yrs) has 3 sons, as well as 2 daughters 0-9, another daughter 16-25
(Judith) and his wife.(under 45) I am especially interested in these
children born between 1790 & 1800. By 1810 he is in Pompey, Onandago Co.,
NY with 3 more sons and 1 more daughter all born in CT and either Judith is
still at home or Daniel has a new younger wife. In 1820 in Vienna, Oneida
Co., NY, he applied for a pension for his service in the Rev. war (from
Coventry CT) and claimed his wife (56) and 3 sons at home Harvey (1804) Asa
(1805) and Orson (1807). Then in Feb. 1833 he requested his pension be
moved to Huron Co. Ohio where he died before 1840. So I want to learn if
you show any other Carpenter births or deaths or marriages that might
account for my missing siblings. If we have made mistakes in this tracking,
let me know. I will also request in the places mentioned. Thank you very
much. Winnie Sihon
