I am seeking the family & ancestors of (John) Philip Carpenter of
Andover,
Sussex Co., NJ. He was a miner during the late 1800's (Andover was a mining
town-- mining iron). He was born in 1840 in Sussex Co., NJ of John and
Elizabeth Carpenter of England.
(John) Philip Carpenter married Hester A. Johns from Wales; Hester's mother
was Ann Pearce of Cornwall.
Philip and Hester's children were: Ann Carpenter, 1864, Sus Co-1950, Mor
Co, NJ; Augusta ("Gussie") Carpenter, 1868, Sus Co-1937, Mor Co, NJ;
Orlinda ("Linnie" or "Mama Linnie" because she was a maternity nurse
and
ran the Carpenter Maternity Home in Wharton, NJ) Carpenter, 1870, Sus
Co-1954, Mor Co, NJ; and Laura ("Lolly"), 1874, Sus Co-1942, Mor Co, NJ.
(John) Philip Carpenter's siblings were Mareyann, b. 23 Mar 1843; Harriet,
b. 03 Feb 1845; Christanah, b. 07 Mar 1836; and Elizabeth, b. 22 Jan 1838.
Hester died in 1898 and was buried at the Andover Presbyterian Church in
Sussex Co., NJ; (John) Philip died in 1908 and was buried in a common grave
with Hester.
Three of their daughters were likewise buried at Andover Presbyterian
Church; only my grandmother (Augusta Carpenter Hamler) was buried
elsewhere: with two of her children in Locust Hill Cemetery in Dover, New
Jersey. My father (John) Kenneth Hamler, her last child, was buried in
southern California in 1971.
The children of Lolly and Augusta (the total grandchildren of Philip and
Hester) were:
Lolly's child: Helen Conklin Bragg, ca. 1904-1942, Morris Co., NJ; Lolly's
husband was Kenneth Bragg.
Augusta's (Gussie) children:
1. Edna Hamler Webb, 1904-1942
2. Mildred Hamler, 1906-1920
3. (John) Kenneth Hamler, 1908-1971
Augusta's husband was Cornelius G. Hamler (1855-1913, Sussex Co., NJ)
Thanks for any help...
