Fleming SCHOONOVER is my g-g-grandfather. He married Thirissa Ermin Katharine HAMILTON in 1857 in Snicarte, Mason Co., IL. His son James Marion SCHOONOVER is my grandfather, and his grandson Harry Omer SCHOONOVER is my dad. How does Milton SCHOONOVER fit in? -- I do not know.
My CARPENTER connections are:
Christopher VAN SCHOONHOVEN married Mary Hannah CARPENTER in late 1700's. I don't know her ancestors.
Anderson CARPENTER married Fleming SCHOONOVER's sister Sarah Ellen SCHOONOVER on 28 Sep 1859 in Cass Co., IL. They had at least two kids.
William Lafayette CARPENTER married Fleming SCHOONOVER's sister Lavina SCHOONOVER on 17 Oct 1861 in Beardstown, Cass Co., IL. They had at least seven kids.
Fleming's ancient is Claus Hendrickse VAN SCHOONHOVEN, the first SCHOONOVER in America. He arrrived in about 1652 from the Netherlands.
The earliest CARPENTER ancient of Anderson and William Lafayette that I have is Thomas CARPENTER, born in England in the early 1700's.
