Hello Shelley,
Below is what I have on this family. It appears that the bible you have
contains more information. I will update my records.
The Carpenter ancestry of this family is in the CE CD 2001 and extends back
to Captain William Carpenter (b. 1605) of Rehoboth, MA.
Thank You for trying to restore this Family Bible to the descendants.
If worse comes to worse, you may concider donating it to either the
Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, MA or the SAR (Sons of the American
Revolution) Library in Louisville, KY. See the following web page for the
addresses:

I sincerely hope that you find some descendants!

Based on limited research I do find Asahel CARPENTER the son of Miles
CARPENTER & Polly GOFF married to Annie Ferrin BATES at Windsor,
MA. The
couple had at least 11 children including, Matilda Ann; Wooster D.;
Francis
M.; Clark H.; Charles M.; Horace E.; Mehitable W.; Walter E.; George
G.;
Thomas E.; and William R. CARPENTER. The children appear to have
been
born
in either Beaver, Kentucky or Patriot, Indiana. The couple appears
in the
1880 census living in Posey, Indiana with what appears to be an
additional
son and daughter, Chena W. and Clara I. CARPENTER.
Annie's parents William Randall BATES b. 9 Nov 1784 at
Cummington, MA the
son of Amasa BATES and Jemima RANDALL married Polly LAZELL b. 3 Sept
1782
at
Bridgewater, MA the daughter of Major Isaac LAZELL and Jane BYRAM.
The
couple was married 12 Sept 1803 at Bridgewater, MA, William d. at
Newton,
KY
in 1841 and Polly in Mount Sterling, IL in 1850. They had at least 8
children including, Martin; George William; William Henry; Mehitable
White;
Horace Nelson; Polly; Annie F.; and Erastus BATES. All the children
were
born in either Cummington, MA or Windsor, MA.
I find Frank A. & Mary J. BATES living in Camp Point, IL during
the 1880
census along with two children, Frances M. BATES and William Nelson
BATES.
It is noted that Frank A. BATES was b. in KY while his wife and two
children
were born in Illinois. I also find William & Ellenor SCOTT
living in Camp
Point, IL during the 1880 census along with one son, Warren SCOTT.
William
is said to have been born in OH while his wife and son were both born
in
Illinois.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this
wonderful old
family heirloom can be returned to the care of family. If you are a
member
of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
