Hello to the list - Does anyone know of the Christy Carpenter who lived in
Lincoln Co., NC at the time of the 1830 census? The Lincoln Co., census for
1830 records a Christy Carpenter family with the following members: 1 male
0-5 years old; 1 male 5-10 years old; 1 male 10-15 years old and 1 male
40-49 years old. In addition there was 1 female 5-10 years old and 1 female
40-49 years old. My real question is do you know the name of the male child
who was in the 5-10 year old range?
My Great-Grandfather John T. Carpenter was born in NC in 1823 and would have
been 7 years old at the time of the 1830 census. Todate 74 Carpenter
families living in NC at the time fo the 1830 census have been searched and
only one remains with an unidentifiable male child in the 5-10 year range
and that is for the family of Christy Carpenter.
There also was a Christy Carpenter in the 1820 NC census. However, it might
not be the same family as that in 1830. Because in 1820 the adults were
listed in the 16-25 year old group.
This particular Carpenter family can only be found in NC for the 1820 and
1830 censuses.
Thanks for any help that you may provide.
Bob Carpenter
