Trying to locate Mary Stewart Carpenter's gravesite. She married in 1822,
William Carpenter who is buried in Holmes Co. Glenmount cemetery in 1862. She
is not shown as buried with him.
According to the Tuscarawas County History of 1885, said that she was still
living in Holmes Co. The 1870 Census shows her living in Knox County with her
daughter. Would anybody have any information about her and where she might be
buried or when?
We are also trying to establish the link between William and his father
Edward, and Edward's father, John Carpenter. The DAR refers to John as the patriot
(The DAR has marked John's grave in Coshocton with a marker.) We are trying
for DAR/SAR purposes.
The Guernsey Co (OH) history of 1943, Stories of Guernsey County, lists
William and his brother, John Carpenter, as marrying Mary Stewart and Massy
Stewart, sisters. It continues saying they are sons of Edward Carpenter, of
Londonderry Township, who is the son of John Carpenter who built Carpenter Fort on the
Ohio River.
The SAR representative that we met at our local library, says this is not
sufficient proof to establish a link. We would need some form of legal
documentation. Would appreciate any additional information.
Jon & Carol Carpenter
