Subject: Carpenter Family in Whitehall New York
Message: I am searching for any info regarding the Carpenter Family in Whitehall, Washington Co. NY. I know that my ggg-grandfather, Horace P. Carpenter, married Eleanor Bostwick in Whitehall, New York in September of 1830. My gg-grandfather Dr. Henry H. Carpenter, was born in Nov 1836 in Sandy Hill, Washington Co. NY. The family later settled in Lawrenceville, St. Lawrence Co, New York. Dr. Carpenter married Mary Amanda Burt, in Lawrenceville, NY on May 4, 1868. I am trying to find out the parents of Horace Carpenter, who would be my gggg- grandparents. I have found Census records on Whitehall, which have a William Carpenter and a Nathan Carpenter listed for around that period, which may mean that one of the two is Horace's father, but any help any one can offer would be greatly appreciated
