To the two Mary's,
The Carpenters of Moore(Cumberland) County, North Carolina, are my
Carpenter line as well. It has been sometime since I have worked on this
line, mostly before the Internet. I corresponded with some people who were
researching the Carpenters who had left there early for Mississippi. My
Adam Carpenter b. c. 1772 d.c. 1853 with a will in Edgefield District, South
Carolina. Time and place are right for him to be a son of Owen and Catrin
_?_ Carpenter of Moore County. With the loss of records this county is
difficult to research. My Adam Carpenter migrated to this area after 185h
1800 NC Census. He married Milly/Matilda who lived until after 1880. There
is circumstantial evidence that she was probably a daughter of John
Sheffield who was a Carpenter neighbor. John Sheffield left a will c. 1796,
naming an unmarried daughter, Milly. I am originally from Georgia, just
married a Texan.
Please contact me off line with your regular mailing address, etc.

Mary,
My great grandmother Letitia Paralee Carpenter was born Oct. 07, 1869 in
Montgomery, AR. Her father Stephen Harry Carpenter was born Dec. 09, 1843 in
Yalobusha, MS. (I have pictures of both). His father Owen Carpenter III was
born abt. 1813 in MS and died Sep. 29, 1861 in Clark (later Garland) Co.,
AR. His father William Carpenter was born 1786 in NC. and died Jul.
03, 1863 in Franklin, AR. His father Owen Carpenter II was born 1765 in NC.
and died 1828 in MS. His father Owen Carpenter (aka Thomas Owen
Carpenter) was born 1740 in NC. and died 1780 in Moore Co., NC. He was
serving in the Rev. War and had come home to see his new born son when the
British came to his house, he went to the door holding his new son. The
British shot and killed him and the baby, and they were buried together in
the same casket. He was possibly the son of Solomon Carpenter who died in
1784. I hope this helps, I also have info on wives and siblings.

the Carpenter line in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
and Arkansas. Anything prior as well, but there are many potholes out
there.
Glad to share what I have. Thanks -
