Hi all,
I'm a new subscriber to this list -- well not so new -- this is my
second post! I'm looking for anyone researching the Carpenter family in
the Vigo Co. area, including Clay, Owen, Greene, and Sullivan counties,
who would like to share data on the Carpenters.
In addition to the Nathaniel Carpenter mentioned in my previous post,
I'm also interested in the Rebecca Carpenter who appeared in the 1850
census of Vigo Co., age 54, born in KY, with apparent sons Solomon
Carpenter, 22 IN, and Levi Carpenter, 15 IN. Does anyone know who her
husband was? She was apparently a widow by 1840, as she appears to be
the Rebecca Carpenter in Owen Co. IN in 1840, with these two sons and
two daughters who are not in her household in 1850. Any help with her
is appreciated!
I'm interested in any of the Carpenters of southern origin in the
county, and especially any deed, will, court or other records that
define their relationships. Thanks in advance, and best of luck in your
search!
