Carpenter Family History bookletI bid you greetings from Anderson , Indiana . I was born in Linton in 1951. Both of my parents were also born in Linton, Donald E. Tincher & Violet Louise Carpenter. I still have many relatives in Linton. Since 1993 we have had a Carpenter Reunion at the Linton Park . I stated research on the Carpenter side of my family in about 1998. Over the past 4 years I have become very serious in my search. I have come to a stand still in finding two persons in my family; they are Moses & Catherine Carpenter. I have attached for your review a two page document which has the information about the two. According to records both were buried in Lyons , Indiana . I have gone to the Anderson Library which has a very large s ection for genealogy. I have searched the records of local cemeteries in Lyons with no luck. After your review of the document, I would appreciate if you have any information that would help or even a website to go to. Samuel Tincher was one of the founding fathers of Linton. That is a direct relative of mine. The following information within this Carpenter Family History booklet has been derived from Family Bibles passed down through generations, word of mouth, actual records from the Greene County Court House as well as other court houses. The internet was used along with our family records to verify the validity of the information used. The name Carpenter is an English name with its primary origins from England. The Carpenter name can be found in all states within The United States as well as all of the colonies of England. There are dozens of different spellings found throughout England as well in the United States being used. A few examples are as follows: Carpentier,Karpenter,Carpenture,Carpentear,Carpinter In the country of England there were two sets of Carpenter's. The two sets were separated by those who worked in the vast coal mines in the countryside, and the other set who used their fine skill to build furniture as well as useful items, thus the name Carpenter. Prior to the Death of Osman Carpenter he wrote what was known about the Carpenter Family Tree. The Following is his narrative of the information. "At the time of The Revolutionary War, seven brothers migrated from England to fight in The American Revolution. The names, rank as soldiers or where they fought are not known. Our family settled along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to around Boston, Massachusetts. At that point they moved inland to various states. After 1781 more Carpenters migrated from England to America. My family can be traced directly from North Carolina, through Virginia, West Virginia, through The Cumberland Gap in Tennessee and Southern Ohio to Southern Indiana. Among those who set out from North Carolina was Thomas Carpenter. The following is the lineage from Thomas to Osman: Thomas Carpenter, one of the seven brothers that fought in The Revolutionary War, married Mary Ann Shook and together had fourteen children. The fourth born was Catherine Carpenter, Moses Carpenter, the nephew of Thomas my great grandfather, married Catherine." (It appears through the word of Osman Carpenter, Moses and Catherine was 1st cousins.) Thomas Carpenter B. September 30, 1781 D. 1845 Married on June 18, 1801 to Mary Ann Shook B. December 21, 1782 D. 1845 Moses Carpenter B. April 25, 1805 D. May 8, 1845 Married on November 11, 1838 to Catherine Carpenter B. January 23, 1807 D. May 14, 1857 Thomas Carpenter B.

April 4, 1960 Married on June 6, 1916 to Lola Rarden B. September 23, 1897 D. May 5, 1951 Thank you very much. Blessings to you, Michael E. Tincher
