Notes

100. Samuel Carpenter

NOTE: Of Brandywine Summit, Del., PA - AF has of Brandywine, Summit, New Castle, DE.
The Brandywine River runs from Chester County PA into the state of DE.

From: "John Chandler"
16. Samuel Carpenter-23780 was born in 1745 in of Brandywine, Summit,
New Castle, DE. He died on 29 Sep 1819.
There is no town in Delaware called "Brandywine" -- it's a river and
also a Hundred within New Castle County.  I was raised in Brandywine
Hundred, as a matter of fact. (In case you don't know what a Hundred
is, it's a largely meaningless subdivision of a county, found only in
obscure places like Delaware.)  If you look at the AF entries, you'll
see that the place is "of Brandywine Summit", which is actually in
DELAWARE COUNTY, PA -- not to be confused with Delaware.

MARRIAGE:
http://distantcousin.com/marriage/nj/1700/1786.html
Vol. XXII of the Archives of the State of New Jersey page 62
Carpenter, Thomas / (Burlington) / [N/A] Tonkin, Mary / (Burlington) / [N/A]NJ / 12-Apr 1774N/A

NOTE:
See page 58-60 of the Samuel Carpenter book.  THOMAS was about 5'10" high,
with a large frame but not corpulent, erect, well-formed, with a fine ruddy
complexion.  His eyes were blue, hair thin, but not bald, orginally brown, and
though tinged with gray, never became white.  His affable and genial manners,
anecdotes, and reminiscences made his society very attractive. He was fond of
reading, intelligent, and self-possessed.

THOMAS, before his marriage ceremony, had to execute a bond with security that
no impediment existed, the same bond still remains on file in the office of the
Secretary of State at Trenton (in 1912).  He was married by Rev. Jonathan
Odell, rector of St. Mary's Church, Burlington, N.J.
SEE: Note below.

THOMAS served an apprenticeship in an auction store at the corner of Front and
South Street, Philadelphia.  Auctions, being prohibitted within the juridiction
of the City Councils, were conducted outside the southern boundary of the city.

THOMAS formed an early attachment to MARY TONKIN and was but twenty one years
and five months old when they were married.  He commenced life upon a farm
belonging to his grandfather, called the Smith farm, near the Salem County
almshouse, in Salem county.

THOMAS CARPENTER was adjutant of Colonel Dick's battalion in the Princeton and
Trenton campaign from Nov., 1776 to the latter part of Jan., 1777; afterwards
quartermaster, and paymaster (commision date of March 19, 1777.  He was for a
time ensign of Captian Roanes' company of Dick's battalion.  He was involved in
the successful retreat of the American army from the banks of the Assanpink
around the flank of Cornwallce's Britsh army, on the night of Jan. 3, 1777.  He
was present at the death of Genral Mercer, who had received a mortal wound that
same night.

Both THOMAS and MARY CARPENTER lie buried in the cemetary adjoining the
Friend's meeting house at Woodbury, N.J.  Their graves adjoin each other on the
north side of the enclosure, about midway, and near the boundary fence, each
designated by a small marble, with name on its top.  Lately (1912) a stone
retaining wall has been placed there for their protection.

THOMAS left no will.  The farm at Carpenter's Landing was divided and sold in
parcels after his death.  The mansion, garden, orchard, and adjacent grounds,
with buildings, were purchased by Charles Martel, whose family still own and
occupy them (in 1912).  Much more information is in the Samuel Carpenter 1912
book.

THOMAS CARPENTER, Revolutionary War ancestor & Quaker

BIO NOTES:
Some notes concerning Thomas Carpenter, a great-grandson of Samuel Carpenter the Philadelphia immigrant, and one of my Revolutionary War ancestors. My sister and I found and photographed his residence at Carpenter's Landing, now Mantua, New Jersey on Veteran's Day, 2002. Carpenter's Landing was located at the furthest inland navigable point on the Mantua Creek from the Delaware River. From there supplies were unloanded and goods were loaded for sale from the Carpenter glass works in nearby Glassborough. The mansion house stood at the top of the slope going up from the landing spot. These pictures will be posted if I figure out how to do it! - - - - - - - - - - Married by Rev. Jonathan Odell. Before the ceremony, THOMAS CARPENTER was required, under the colonial law then in force, to execute a bond with security that no impediment existed, which bond is still on file in the office of the Secretary of State in Trenton according to Carpenter book, p. 58 (written in 1912). - - - - - - - Carpenter book (1912) contains the following article about Thomas, which may be a quote from an unnamed source: (pp 58-60) "Thomas Carpenter served an apprenticeship in an auction store at the corner of Front and South Streets, Philadelphia. Auctions, being prohibited within the jurisdiction of the City Councils, were conducted outside the southern boundary of the city. He formed an early attachment to MARY TONKIN and was but twenty one and five months old when they were married. He commenced life upon a farm belonging to his grandfather [Samuel 2d], called the Smith farm, near the Salem County almshouse, in Salem County. "In the early stages of the War of the Revolution he was commissioned pay master of the militia of the counties of Salem and Gloucester. His commission bears date March 19, 1777. He was also quartermaster of the first battalion of Salem troops, commanded by his friend Col. Samuel Dick, M.D., a prominent and patriotic citizen of Salem, where he had a large and lucrative practice as a physician. Being one of the staff of Col. Dick, THOMAS CARPENTER was present at the successful retreat of the American army from the banks of the Assanpink around the flank of the British army, on the night of January 3, 1777. This movement so successfully accomplished, whereby General Washington withdrew his undisciplined troops from the front of a powerful British army, to a position in the rear, where he threatened its communications and stores, and finally placed them in secure winter quarters near Morristown, without serious loss, has received commendation of the best historians and military critics. The chagrin of the enterprising British general, upon finding he had been outgeneraled by the enemy he professed to despise, may be imaged. "The personal recollections of these events by THOMAS CARPENTER, as he used to relate them, were substantially as follows: "The American army, commanded by General Washington, was encamped on the south side of the Assanpink Creek, a narrow stream fordable in many places within the limits of the City of Trenton. Lord Cornwallis, intent upon the destruction of his adversary, arrived and encamped on the opposite bank late in the afternoon prepared to give battle the next morning. All the available detachments in South Jersey had been hurried up to reinforce General Washington. The weather was warm and rainy, the roads almost impassable. Colonel Dick's battalion marched from Salem through Woodbury, Haddonfield, Mount Holly, and Recklestown to join the army; but, delayed by the bad roads and the breaking of an axle of a field gun, did not arrive in camp until late in the evening. About the time of their arrival, the wind changed and it soon became intensely cold. Having secured comfortable quarters with other officers in a neighboring house, CARPENTER loaned his overcoat to one of his less fortunate companions who had left his own with the baggage in the rear. At midnight an officer detailed to look up stragglers entered the apartments and informed them that the army was no longer there, had been gone an hour, and they must immediately mount and follow. Washington, afraid to risk a battle with his army, composed largely of raw, undisciplined troops, had taken advantage of the darkness and frozen roads to break up his encampment, leaving his camp fires burning to deceive the enemy, and marched, by a by-road called the "Old Quaker Road," around the flank of the British army, on Princeton. In this emergency THOMAS CARPENTER had nothing but a blanket which he tied around his neck and waist with handkerchiefs,--a poor defense against the piercing cold, from which he suffered greatly. His party overtook the army near Princeton, where a sharp engagement took place between the head of the column and two regiments of Hessians that were marching to reinforce the British army at Trenton. The noise of the firing was the first notice to Lord Cornwallis that the Revolutionary army had left its position on the Assanpink, and was then twelve miles in his rear directly on the line of his communications. After the action was over, MR. CARPENTER, in company with Colonel Dick, called upon General Mercer, who had received a mortal wound and was lying pale and suffering in his tent. It was the intention of General Washington to seize the stores of the British army at New Brunswick, but the accidental encounter at Princeton disconcerted his plans. Unable to cope with the British forces in hot pursuit, he continued his retreat and established himself in secure winter quarters in the vicinity of Morristown. "The detachment commanded by Colonel Dick was discharged on the completion of its term of service. Dr. Dick became a member of the New Jersey Assembly. THOMAS CARPENTER, detailed for the duty, was actively engaged in purchasing and forwarding supplies for the use of the army. The winter of 1777 was exceptionally severe. The snow fell at frequent intervals, enabling him to dispatch long trains of sleds laden with provisions and forage from time to time from the lower counties of the State to the encampment at Morristown. Whenever the roads would begin to wear out, a providential fall of snow would make them good. "Here is a copy of a letter from "Light-Horse Harry Lee" to THOMAS CARPENTER, purchasing commissioner. (The original is in the possession of Miss Susan M. Carpenter, 38 N. 2d Street, Camden, N.J.) Burlington, January 17, 1780 Sir:-- I have written to the Magistrates of Salem County begging them to aid you in the immediate conveyance of the flour to camp. Send on what is already manufactured with hurry, expedite the manufacture of the remainder and then convey it to Mr. Thomas at the "Black Horse." If the river should open send it to Trenton. You must procure drivers to go to camp with your cattle, or at any rate to the "Black Horse" where Mr. Thomas will take charge of them. For God's sake perform this business with all possible despatch. I am Sir, Your obedient (signed) HENRY LEE, JR. (Title indistinct) "THOMAS CARPENTER visited Red Bank on the next morning after the battle in which Count Donop and his Hessians were so signally defeated by Colonel Greene, and saw the wounded commander and the dead and wounded Hessians that encumbered the Whitall House, the lawn, and the ground about the fort. The house is still standing and plainly shows the mark of a cannonball which pierced its wall during the action. Many of the dead and wounded were shot in the back in their efforts to escape from the trap in which they had been caught. "In the year 1785 he removed to Cooper's Point and engaged in mercantile business. A curious set of bullet-moulds for casting musket-balls and buckshot has been preserved, which he made use of at the time to supply his customers with buckshot to shoot the deer which were then plenty in the forests of New Jersey. It is now in the possession of General L.H. Carpenter, is in excellent preservation, and bears upon the handles the initials T.C. 1786 E.C. 1834. He remained at Cooper's Point about two years. From thence, having formed a partnership with Colonel Thomas Heston, his wife's nephew by marriage, he removed to Carpenter's Landing (now called Mantua). Heston and Carpenter built and established a large glass manufactory at Glassborough, where they acquired a large landed property. A store and lumber business were also maintained and carried on at Carpenter's Landing. The business was successfully prosecuted until the death of Colonel Heston. The property was then divided, THOMAS CARPENTER retired, and was succeeded by his son Edward, by whom it was continued until his death in 1813. Glassborough is still distinguished for its glass factories, and has become a large and flourishing village under the auspices of the descendants of Colonel Heston. "THOMAS CARPENTER continued to reside at Carpenter's Landing the remainder of his life. [physical descriptions follow of Thomas and his wife Mary] "Both THOMAS and MARY CARPENTER lie buried in the cemetery adjoining the Friends meeting house in Woodbury, N.J. Their graves adjoin each other on the north side of the enclosure. about midway, and near the boundary fence, each designated by a small marble, with name on its top. Lately a stone retaining wall has been placed there for their protection. "THOMAS CARPENTER left no will. The farm at Carpenter's Landing was divided and sold in parcels after his death. The mansion, garden, orchard, and adjacent grounds, with the buildings, were purchased by Charles Martel, whose family still own and occupy them. "NOTE--Thomas Carpenter was adjutant of Colonel Dick's battalion in the Princeton and Trenton campaign from November, 1776, to the latter part of January 1777; afterwards quartermaster. He was for a time ensign of Captain Roanes' company of Dick's battalion.

My Carpenter ancestor in the Revolution was Thomas Carpenter, great[grandson of Samuel Carpenter of Philadelphia.  As a Quaker he didn't fight, but rather got supplies for the army at Morristown.  He did not get a pension as there was no certainty that his actions were as a member of the army or militia, but there are adequate records of his providing supplies--mostly food--for DAR membership.  The pension denial alone clearly establishes this as fact.
