The June 1972 issue of The Carpenter Family News-Journal is Famous Carpenter
Descendants Are Found. In it are articles about Queen Elizabeth II, M. Scott
Carpenter, Vice President Levi P. Morton, Richard and Karen Carpenter, Walter
Samuel Carpenter, Robert Morgan Carpenter, Samuel Meredith, John Alden
Carpenter and more.
Here's the portion on their family tree:
Mrs. Carpenter Came from Prominent Family
In addition to being proud of their Carpenter ancestry, descendants of
James Sumner Carpenter (1805-1891) can claim descent from another very old
Massachusetts family.
James married at Geneva, N.Y. on May 1, 1835, Francis Catharine
Saltonstall, lineal descendant of Sir Richard Saltonstall, who arrived at
Salem, Mass, in 1630. Sir Richard, who had been a London merchant, started
the only family in America which can boast of 10 unbroken generations of
Harvard men.
James Sumner Carpenter's ancestry is William, his father, the Greenwood,
Ezra, Nathaniel, William, William, William. James moved from New York state
to Ohio and was living in Akron when he died.
The first part of the article was about Richard and Karen's rise to fame.
