Carpenter AncestryI guess the best way to present my family lineage is to first introduce myself. I was b. in Greene County Linton, Indiana . Both of my parents Donald Tincher & Violet Carpenter were also b. in Linton. I still a lot of family from both sides still in Linton. I currently live in Anderson, Indiana with my wife of 33 years, Connie. Both of my parents are still living & live about 10 miles away. I have one sister who lives in the same town as my parents. I am going to present both sides of my family in lineage form. Michael Tincher 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, Greene, Indiana. I have gone to the Anderson Library which has a very large section 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. Thomas Carpenter b September 30, 1781 d 1845, one of the seven brothers that fought in The Revolutionary War, married June 18, 1801 Mary Ann Shook b. December 21, 1782 d. 1845 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.) 1 Godwin Carpenter B 1100 D 1194 2 Ralph Carpenter B 1145 D 1202 3 Ailric Carpenter B 1166 D 1212 4 Elgan Carpenter B 1202 D 1267 5 Siger Le Carpenter B 1219 D 1267 6 Jean Le Carpenter B 1250 D 1300 7 Maurice Carpenter B 1280 D 1337 8 John Carpenter B 1303 D 1345 9 Richard Carpenter B 1335 D 1395 10 John Carpenter B 1372 D 1476 11 John Carpenter B 1410 D 1476 12 William Carpenter B 1440 D 1520 13 James Carpenter B 1460 D 1537 14 John Carpenter B 1495 D 1540 15 William Carpenter B 1520 D 1587 16 Robert Carpenter B 1540 D 1607 17 Richard Carpenter b. 1575 d. 1625 18 William Carpenter b 1605 d 1685 19 Joseph Carpenter b 1635 d 1695 20 Nathaniel Carpenter B 1668 D 1730 21 Joseph Carpenter B 1693 D 1780 22 Thomas Carpenter I B 1729 D 1790 23 John Carpenter B 1755 D 1843 24 Moses Carpenter B.
