never know when those tidbits of info may help someone out!

This list puts the following Carpenter males in Claiborne County, TN in
1833.
Yelverton Carpenter
James Carpenter
John Carpenter *
Jesse Carpenter
Jesse Carpenter Jr.
Wilson Carpenter
I went through and matched up the data by RIN (Record Information Numbers)
from the main database the best I could.
Yelverton Carpenter-165853
James Carpenter-192600
John Carpenter-198882 *
Jesse Carpenter- maybe 110922?
Jesse Carpenter Jr.-191636
Wilson Carpenter-191637
* I believe the John Carpenter listed is Yelverton's son. This John was born
16 Jul 1811. He is listed next to Yelverton in the 1830 census, but the
census taker marked the wrong column for his age. There is no way he would
be head of his own household "Of ten and under fifteen". Especially since
the only other person in his household is a female "Of twenty and under
thirty". He should have been in the "of fifteen and under twenty" column.
In
the 1840 census he is two households away from Yelverton and his age is
correctly categorized. He is living next door to his brother Wilson.
John's birth date is recorded in the Spradling family Bible and a copy of
the page with this information is posted on
Ancestry.com. Mary "Polly"
Carpenter, sister of John and daughter of Yelverton, married James
Spradling.
