Carpenter, Edmund Nelson, a Representative from Pennsylvania; born in
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., June 27, 1865; attended the public schools in ...
Here is this Edmund Nelson Carpenter's line:
Samuel Carpenter, who died c1841 at Afton, Chenango Co. NY
-- he is ABC #2293, p. 285 -- married Nancy Gardner.
Children [ABC]:
4. Benjamin Gardner Carpenter, born 2 Jul 1827 in PA, died
11 Nov 1889 at Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co. PA, married on 26
Mar 1852 to Sarah Ann Fell, born 26 Nov 1827, died 26 Jun
1912. Children [ABC p. 649]:
4e. Edmund Nelson Carpenter, born 27 Jun 1865, died 4 Nov
1962 {or 1952?} at Wilkes-Barre PA.
I did some research on this line because they have a branch
in DE, not far from the early MD lines that I've been
researching. This is the line that married into the
wealthy DuPont family -- Edmund N. Carpenter's nephew
Robert R. M. Carpenter married Margaretta L. DuPont,
daughter of Lammot DuPont.
Regards,
Terry
