I am seeking the parents of Amos Carpenter, b., April, 1787, Rensselaer Co.,
New York. At "an early age" he moved to Granville, Massachusetts. At age 18,
he joined the Licking Land Company that settled Granville, Ohio. He married
Susannah Rose, daughter of Lemuel and Achsah Hale Rose, also of Granville,
Massachusetts. The Roses were part of the pioneer party to Ohio. Amos and
Susannah Carpenter had three sons: Timothy R., Truman W., Stephen Van
Rensselaer, all became wealthy businessmen who helped in the building of
Columbus, Ohio. Their one daughter, Louisa, married Rev.Sabin Hough. By a
second marriage to Joanna Ashton, Amos was the father of Ellen, who became a
school teacher. Amos Carpenter died in 1858 and is buried in Columbus,
Ohio.
His parentage is my brickwall. I would appreciate any help.
