In the Van Wert library, I found this in the Portrait and Biographical
History of Van Wert (Oh) County:
James W. Carpenter, b. 2-20-1821 near Richmond, Va. He married
4-28-1842, Susannah Ream (b. in Fairfield Co., Oh 5-7-1823). Susannah
was the daughter of Jacob and Rebecca Clines Ream.
His father was William R. Carpenter, b. VA 2-3-1792 and married 1st,
Betsey Barnes and 2nd, James' mother Catherine Brewer. William R. was
in the war of 1812. Father of William R. was John Carpenter, b. VA
moved to Fairfield Co., OH, said to have fought in the Revolutionary
War.
James W. and Susannah had the following children: Sarah J., Charles
W., Mary A., Rebecca E., David S., Margaret E., Emma C., Clarissa Pl,
Alvira, Wilson H.L., Minerva I., Lucetta and Iga O. The first six born
in Fairfield County and the remainder born in Van Wert, Co. Oh.
Does anyone have these Carpenters? I am especially interested to
know if the John and Margaret of my previous post (John C. Carpenter, b.
around 1807 in
Richmond, VA, d. Dec. 1878, Van Wert Co., OH who married Margaret
Ream(s), b. c.1825, Ohio) are related to James W. and Susannah. The two
families lived on adjoining land in Van Wert Co.
