Vol. I Written 1830 - 1850
Chapter 50. WASHINGTON SQUARE
This beautiful square, now so much the resort of citizens and strangers,
as a promenade was, only twenty-five years ago, a "Potter's Field" in which
were seen numerous graves, generally the receptacles of the poor, and
formerly of the criminals from the prison. It was long enclosed in a post
and rail fence, and always produced much grass. It was not originally high
and level as now, but a descending ground, from the western side to a deep
gulley which traversed it in a line from Doctor Wilson's large church to the
mouth of the present tunnel on Sixth street below Walnut street. Another
course of water came from the north-west, from beyond Arch street, falling
into the same place. The houses on the street, along the south side of the
square, were but a few years ago as miserable and deformed a set of negro
huts and sheds as could be well imagined.
In the centre of the square was an enclosed ground, having a brick wall
of about forty feet square, in which had been interred members of Joshua
Carpenter's and the Story families, caused by the circumstance of a female
of the former family having been interred there for suicide -- a
circumstance which excluded her from burial in the common church grounds of
the city. There was an apple tree in the centre, under which Mr. Carpenter
was buried.
First name was Armgott but she went by Orange.
Died on the Delaware river.

...
The place was originally patented in 1704-5, under the name of "the
Potter's Field", as "a burial ground for strangers", &c. The minutes of
Council, in September 1705, show that the Mayor, Recorder, and persons of
various religious denominations, were appointed to wait on the commissioners
of property for a public piece of ground for "a burial place for strangers
dying in the city". With a run of ninety years it was no wonder it looked
well filled !
That it was deemed a good pasture field, is evidenced by the fact of its
being rented by the council for such a purpose. A minute of council of 14th
April 1766, is to this effect : "The lease of Potter's Field to Jacob
Shoemaker having expired, it is agreed to lease it to Jasper Carpenter for
seven years, (to the year 1773) at ten pounds per annum".
LINEAGE:
Grandfather's name reported to be Joshua. BUT NOT PROVED - Temp linking as challenged. Likely not unless it was on the maternal side.
The other possibility is remote, as him being an undocumented son of Thomas Carpenter-45072 an English immigrant to Philadelphia. But this is conflicts with the Christ Church Register info.NOTE:
The submitter of this bible data is lost in my records.
I had a computer problem, but this line was backed up. Unfortunately, who and when they submitted this info is lost.

Subject: Carpenter DescendantsHello John and Barbara,
My name is Samantha Burks and I've been occupying myself during the stay-at-home orders with some genealogical research. I came across your post from almost nine years ago here: https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/carpenter/9842/
I have traced Miles Harding Carpenter as my 7th great grandfather, but it's not clear to me how Miles is or may be connected to Samuel Carpenter in your link.
Miles had a son, Benjamin (1769)
who had a son, Conrad (1798)
who had a daughter Amanda (1829)
who had a son Harry (Simler) (1848)
who had a son Robert (1887)
who had a daughter Gertrude (1907)
who married Roy Langston and had six children, four still living, one of whom is my maternal grandmother.I would very much like to connect these trees and fill in more details if possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Samantha Burks

Clarification written by Reese Robinson (2/2015)
Benjamin Carpenter (23820) is identified in the will of his father James Carpenter, ‘of the county of Sussex upon Delaware’ where he was bequeathed ‘the sum of ten pounds lawful money of this government when he shall arrive as the age of twenty one years”. The will was made in the year 1734, making the birth year of Benjamin no earlier than 1713. All five known sons of James are identified in the will, but only Benjamin and his brother Laban are identified as minors, with Laban mentioned first. I am estimate the birth year of Laban as 1714 and the birth year of Benjamin as 1715.Benjamin Carpenter made his will on 9 Sep 1745, identifying himself as ‘Benjamin Carpenter of Sussex upon Delaware, Farmer’. His will identifies two sons. Benjamin (38828) was bequeathed ‘my plantation which was left to me by the last will and testament of my uncle John Piles lying and being on the north side of the Coolspring branch and the adjoining marsh…’. Coolspring is a creek in Sussex County, Delaware about 6 miles southeast of Milton, Delaware and about 7 miles west of Lewes, Delaware. There was also a town called Coolspring in this same vicinity. The other son was Samuel (23780), who was bequeathed ‘all of my movable estate’. The will was proven on 15 September 1745.
Although not mentioned in the will, both Benjamin and Samuel were minors at the time of their father’s death. On 11 May 1755, William Piles petitioned the Orphan’s Court of Sussex County, stating that his brother-in-law. Benjamin Carpenter left two sons, Benjamin and Samuel Carpenter (minors). William was appointed guardian of Benjamin Carpenter. This relationship suggests that Benjamin was married to a Piles. There was a William Piles in the same generation as Benjamin, and one in the generation prior. This wife has yet to be identified.
On 5 December 1760, “Samuel and Benjamin Carpenter (age 14, minors, son of Benjamin Carpenter (dec’d) choose as their guardian their kinsman Samuel Piles.”,
It’s unlikely that both children would be age 14 and odd that that age for each child wasn’t given. Age 14 implies a birth year of 1746, which is after the death of their father.On 12 February 1761, “Samuel Carpenter (age 17, minor, Son of Benjamin Carpenter (dec’d)), formerly bound to Obediah Eldridge (tanner, dec’d), was bound to William Start (tanner, of Chester Co. PA).” Age 17 implies a birth year of 1744. This event accounts for the eventual appearance of Samuel in Pennsylvania.
Samuel appears on the tax rolls in Chester County, PA on numerous occasions from 1768 through 1781, as both a freeman and an inmate. In 1781, he is taxed on his 20 acres of land, his livestock, and his tannery in Upper Chichester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, so he was still working at his trade. Note that today Upper Chichester is located in Delaware County. Delaware County was split from Chester County in 1789.
Samuel was a Quaker, and appears regular in the Quaker meeting records for both the Concord and Chichester meetings. On 17 June 1773, the marriage of Samuel Carpenter and Rachel Dingee was documented by the Concord Monday Meeting. The preamble to this record reads “Whereas Samuel Carpenter, son of Benjamin Carpenter, late of Sussex County on Delaware (deceased), and Rachel Dingee of the township of Chichester in the County of Chester…” The Quaker membership record for Rachel Dingee Carpenter identifies Samuel Carpenter as her husband, and identifies her Husband’s father as Benjamin Carpenter of Sussex Co. Del.

See my notes on Benjamin and Samuel. I believe that Benjamin married a member of the Piles family. Benjamin had an Uncle John who is mentioned in Benjamin’s will. According to “Colonial Families of Delaware” (vol 4). John had a daughter names Sarah. I’ve seen the references to a Rebecca as his wife, but it comes from a DAR application that is clearly a different Benjamin Carpentter.
