Can anyone help me with place names and dates. I know the family was scattered in the RI,NY,Conn,PA area. My Grandmother Mary Elizabeth Carpenter was born in Deposit NY .
When My mother was a child her grandfather Carpenter used to come to visit fairly often as he was a carpenter working on projects all over New England. He still lived in NY at that time. He helped build the first oil derrick in PA and I have an ashtry that he made from spikes that had been used in the derrick.
The family lived in Centerville then Little Coley area when my mother grew up. There were a loet of cousins in Pa. Both Brownell and Carpenter and I believe several marriages going both ways in the families.
