Hello List,
Recently I was helping someone with their Carpenters across the river from Brown County,
Ohio and ran across the following Carpenter line. I had to do a little research to rule
out this family for them.
The mystery is where this Carpenter family came from and how/why they got to the District
of Columbia. And how many of this family were buried in the Congressional Cemetery in
Washington, D. C..
If anyone recognizes this family or knows anything about them, please let me know.
Thank you!
John R. Carpenter
