Anita,
It's nice to hear from you.I don't know if I can be of any help to you as I don't have much on my Addison Carpenter.He was born circa 1854 and the 1860 census says he was born in IA.I don't think his family was ever in Michigan but they spent some time in Minnesota.It is possible that Addison wasn't born in IA.Most of his siblings were born in IL, one other sib in IA and one in MN.
Addison's father is William H. H. Carpenter.The second H. is for Harrison and I believe that the first H. is for Henry.Mother is Anna Amanda Shipps Wiltsey.It is believed that William was born in NY although some of the census say that he was born in OH.Anna was born in NY as well.I don't have parents for either of them.
Siblings for Addison are Theodore Walter, Mary E., Alice Annie (my great grandmother), George Wesley, Clarissa (Clara)Belle, & Lecie Luella.Both William and Anna died in Mercer Co., MO.There is information in the Mercer Co., MO Cemetery book that says Addison died in 1876 at 23 yr, 3 mo, 21 days.
I hope this is of some help to you.I find it interesting that your grandfather is named William Henry.
I would be interested in your Addison Carpenter as well.
Thanks,
Donna
