Searching for information on Benjamin Carpenter who opened a store in Salina,
Onandaga Co., NY in 1795.
I am hoping that he may be the father of Henry (Harry?) Carpenter, b. ca 1795
in New York.
1810 NY Census shows a Benjamin in Manlius, Onandaga Co., NY
1830 NY Census shows a Henry / Harry in Salina, Onandaga Co., NY
(parts of Salina were split off from Manlius in 1809)
What I believe we know on Henry is:
Married: ca 1820 in Salina, NY, Roxanna Fay, b. 07/03/1797, d. 12/07/1876,
dau. of Jonathan Fay & Rhoda White.
Children: Charlotte; Marion b. ca 1822; Jerome b. 09/16/1824 in NY; Thaddeus
b. ca 1829; Wallace Fay b, ca 1832; Henry Jr. b. ca 1835; Byron Fay & Augusta
M. b. 09/23/1837 in Illinois.
Jerome says he grew up in Syracuse and Salina, New York but moved in 1837 to
Illinois with his mother and family. We believe Henry (Harry?) was either gone
or deceased at about that time. I am descendant from Augusta M. Carpenter who
married Henry Augustus Adams in Sandwich, Illinois.
