Hello:
My name is John A. Carpenter. My brother who died in Vietnam is Ralph R. Carpenter, Jr.
(1946-1968).
http://www.virtualwall.org/dc/CarpenterRR01a.htm
Our father, Ralph R. Carpenter, was born in 1900 in Alexandria, Indiana to John W.
Carpenter (b. circa 1870/75) and Laura Randolph Carpenter.
John W.'s father was William F. (b. circa 1840/50), who emigrated from England after
going to South America. He evidently came to America through Pennsylvania as he married
into a Pennsylvania Dutch family named Heimlich. They pressed on to Indiana for farm land
and settled there.
My paternal grandmother, Laura Randolph, was the daughter of Samuel Lincoln Randolph and
Elizabeth Quick, whose father was an Aaron Quick.
That's about all I have. If you have anymore let me know. Thanks for your interest.
Jack Carpenter
