Wondering if somebody with this book (or another good
source) might be able to look up a Caleb Carpenter
that married Sybil Knapp? Probably married around
1730-40 in New York (Westchester County)? They
apparently had a son named Caleb that lived in North
Castle as well. This is Sybil's brother's will:
"I, DANIEL KNAPP, of Harrison's Purchase, in
Westchester County, being weak in body. December 21,
1775. All debts to be paid. I leave to my wife Anna,
and my dear daughter Amy, each 1/2 of my estate. If my
daughter Amy dies under age, then her part to go to my
nephews, Timothy and Gabriel Knapp, sons of my
brother, Gabriel Knapp, and to my nephews, Gabriel and
Amy Carpenter, children of my sister Syby, and to my
niece Syby, wife of Peter Deshere, and daughter of my
brother Amos Knapp. I make my nephew, Caleb Carpenter,
of North Castle, and my relation, Roger Purdy, Jr.,
son of Roger Purdy, of Harrison's Purchase,
executors."
I know of the Caleb Carpenter that married Ame
Carpenter (and later Zipporah Carpenter) and lived in
North Castle, but this is the first I've learned of
this other Caleb Carpenter in North Castle so I'm
wondering if the "Carpenter Family in America" holds
any clues about this other Caleb Carpenter (Jr. &
Sr.), husband & son of Sybil Knapp. Thanks!
