Hello. I have a Civil War soldier THOMAS CARPENTER, who
enlisted in Co E of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry on Nov 9, 1862. He
died Feb 22, 1863 in Louisiana, of hydrothorax.

The muster roll for this regiment describes him as follows: age 25,
6' tall, dark complexion, blue eyes, dark hair, born Bradley Co., TN,
occupation farmer. Enlisted Nov 9, 1862 at Somerset, KY.

I am trying to locate him in the 1850 census. I did find him in
1860, age 23 at the time, living in Bradley Co., TN on p 241,
household # 916, in the household of Thomas Cooper (not the
same Thomas Cooper who was also a soldier in Co E of the 4th TN
Cav). I don't know what was the relationship between Thomas
Carpenter and the Thomas Cooper with whom he was living in 1860.

But I can't find Thomas Carpenter in the 1850 Bradley Co., TN
census. The only Carpenters in that census are on p 182B, as
follows:

household # 614
Martin Carpenter age 44 M b NC
Anna age 48 b NC
Caroline age 13 b NC

household #616
Aaron Carpenter age 31 farmer $550, b NC
Isabella 30 b NC

Any leads on finding Thomas Carpenter in the 1850 census would
be appreciated.
