I just received the military records for Jotham Carpenter, I have no idea who his father
was. as he died young there was not much in his military file. Does anyone have any idea
who his parents are ? If anyone wants scanned images of the records let me know,, there
only 8 pages of them. In the records is a letter concerning a Corporal Levi A Carpenter, I
have no idea why this letter was included in the file, was he Jothams brother ??
