Hello Carpenters:
I have recently found intriguing reference to three Carpenters in Sullivan
County NY in the early 1800s. John Willard Johnston's Reminiscences says
the tax roll of Town of Lumberland in 1816 lists a James Carpenter, John
Carpenter, and Joseph Carpenter. A nearby passage says James was also
assessed in 1814, but not in 1818. Also mentioned nearby are William
Wells and Jesse Wells, which reminded me of James Carpenter ABC #308, son
of Solomon in nearby Goshen (Orange County) NY, who ABC says married a Mary
Wells. So maybe these three are familiar Carpenters from Orange County?
Does anyone have any info that would either link or de-link these three
Carpenters to the Orange County families?
Robin
