Anita,
Baley Carpenter Sr. and Baley Carpenter Jr. were both listed as tax delinquents from Burke
Co GA in the 1795 Savannah Gazette. I have tried and tried to connect my Benjamin Samson
Carpenter (ca 1760-70 to ca 1840 AL) line of SC>AL ca 1817 to any other Carpenter line
in SC or AL without success. *Possibly* they went through Franklin Co GA briefly first but
I know they settled in Dale/Coffee Cos AL area (they settled in the area contested as
Spanish West Florida until 1821). One of BSC's sons was William Bailey Carpenter of
Edgefield Co SC. Some of BSC's line went from south AL to TX with my line going to
Williamson Co TX and others to Van Zandt Co area of TX (not too distant from Mt.
Pleasant). I descend from BSC's son Sampson Carpenter.
The Mt. Pleasant Carpenter reunion line is not my line. The proximity of names and
locations in SC and GA without linking them has been driving me nuts for years. So, I put
my research away (this is all from memory) and I only peruse the Carpenter list. Your
journey caught my eye so I thought Baley Carpenter Sr and Jr might be of interest to you.
