!1810 U.S. Census, Middlesex, Ontario, NY Film 081387. Robert Carpent er
and Phebe, Nathan's father and mother, have 4 sons and 1 dau. at the
time of census. (Abner b. 1799, Sally b. 1801, Benjamin b. 1804,
Nathaniel b. 1806, Calvin b. 1808. Bestey was b. after the census in
Sept, 1810).
!1820 U. S. Census, Bristol, Ontario, NY. Film #193717. Robert and P hebe
have 5 sons, and 5 daughters. (Abner b. 1799, Sally b. 1801, Benajmi n b.
1804, Nathaniel b. 1806, Calvin b. 1808, Betsy b. 1810, Robert O. b .1812,
Margaret b. 1814, Nancy b. 1816 and Rowena T. b. 1819)
!1830 U. S. Census, Bristol, Ontario, NY. Film #017053, Page 224, Rob ert
and Phebe have 5 sons, and 5 daughters, same as in 1820, but Abner is
now married and head of a household next door, and Sally is also marr ied
and with her husband, William Kaufman. Robert and Phebe had Willia m b.
1821, and Phebe b. 1823 added to their family so the numbers remain t he
same, although the family members are different. Little Christine was
b. 1826 but died in 1827, therefore is not on the census. Nathaniel is
still alive because the numbers match. (In 1993 we found Nathaniel's
first daughter was b . 1828, so apparently Nathaniel was not in the h ome.
One of the other boys may have been counted twice as often happened f or
military purposes in the 15 to 20 age range. We have not found where
Nathaniel was in 1830).
!1840 U. S. Census, Middlesex, Yates, NY Film 017210 page 349.
Nathaniel is head of the household and the only one named. There wer e 3
males besides Nathaniel, 2 under 5 yrs, and l between 5-10. There we re
4 females, 1 under 5, 2 between 5-10, and 1 between 10-15. There were
a total of seven children.
!1850 U.S. Census, Cohocton, Steuben, NY. (Census taken, 18 Sept 1850 ).
Household 115/119. Nathaniel Carpenter, 44 b. NY; Almira. 40, b. VT;
Polly 16, b. NY; Marquis 14, b. NY; Albert 13, b. NY; Paulina 10, b . NY;
Adalaide 5, b. NY; Berry. S or Bessy S, or Benj. S. female, 3, b. N Y (S.
sounds like F., so this could be an easy mistake, but this census
definitely says female. It must have been Benj. S. and should hav e been
male because Benjamin F. is on the 1860 census as 12 years old. If t here
had been a girl and then a boy, he still would have had to be on tha t1850
census to be 12 in 1860! All the other census are Benjamin F., male , so
we are assuming the mistake was in the gender and initial only, and it
was Benj. even though it could easily be read Berry/Bessy).

He signed off on the sale of the Carpenter property in 1857.

Frenando attended a reunion in Athens, Calhoun, MI in 1895 (Calvin
Loomis Carpenter Reunion, Nathaniel's brother). Fernando signed in a s a
relative, although there was a place to sign if just a visitor, and s aidhe
lived in Plainwell, MI. (This was the way we finally found Nathanie l and
then proceeded to find the remainder of his family)!
!1870 U.S. Census, Prairieville, Barry, MI, Film # 552160, wife Almi ra
age 59 is in the home of Chester and Polly Honeywell (Polly is the
daughter of Nathaniel and Almira). Recorded as: Honeywell, Cheste r 35 ;
Polly 35; Almira 9; Elmer 1 male. Carpenter, Almira 59 b. VT. Natha n is
supposed to have died in 1864, but no death record has been found t o date
(1993). Polly's first husband was William. We do not know if it i s his
first or last name, but believe it is his first name.
!Almira, wife of N. W. Carpenter, is buried in Hillside Cemetery, Gum
Plain Township, Plainwell, Allegan, MI. Her son Fernando, (who was n ext
door to Polly, her daughter, on the 1870 Census, household 173/177) is
also buried there with his wife, Helen and two sons, but there is no

descendant of Nathaniel who supplied records and pictures. She and h er
father were visited in 1993 in Lansing, MI.
