The first one [my cousin] is going to try to get [is] Chapin Carpenter,
the father of Mary Chapin Carpenter. I'm not quite sure what the
descendency is from Dr. John Carpenter, but I will find out.
Dr. John is the brother of my great-grandmother, so it gives you
an idea of how far back we are discussing.
Thanks for the clue to another famous Chapin cousin :^)
