Subject: Carpenter Surname Project Join RequestDO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL!
The following request to join the Carpenter project was entered at Family Tree DNA by John Porter.
My dad is John Porter, he has done his Y-DNA which will not match this group. But he did his DNA along with me through ancestry. His mother is Barbara Alma Carpenter she was born in Washington DC, but her father was William Fairfax Carpenter born in Richmond County Virginia. which is part of the Northern Neck area of Virginia. Can you use my DNA and dad's DNA from Ancestry to match us to the Carpenters. My cousin Neil just did the Y-DNA for me for the Carpenter line, but it hasn't come in yet. I have also done my mt-DNA too which will not match Carpenters. But I have done 23 & me, my Heritage DNA. Please let me know if we can use any other DNA to connect with the Carpenters. Carpenters are my brick wall. I am hoping we can connect Thanks Susan Porter Matthews

Address of Record: Tacoma Park, MarylandThe SS Robert Gray was one of the first liberty ships built during WWII. Completed in 1942, the ship was owned by Waterman Steamship Co. of Mobile, Alabama and was currently operated by the Army Transportation Service (ATS). The ship had been armed with one 4in, one 3in and 8 20mm guns, and a US Navy Armed Guard Crew would be assigned to maintain and operate them.
In April 1943, Robert Gray was in New York preparing for a voyage to Scotland and England as one of the 67 ships that would make up Convoy HX-234. Her cargo was 8600 tons of 'general war supplies,' including ammunition.
ROBERT EARL CARPENTER had signed on as 'Oiler' and was on board as the ship (in convoy) left New York on April 12, 1943. During the night of April 13/14, Robert Gray had fallen behind the convoy and was reported missing. In the early hours of the 19th, at approximately 550 miles South of Cape Farewell Greenland, German submarine (U-boat) 108 surfaced and fired a spread of four torpedoes at the Liberty Ship, two of which detonated. The ship fired back, causing the sub to dive. A couple hours later two more torpedoes were fired and one hit Robert Gray's stern, causing ammunition to explode. The ship caught fire and rapidly sank, stern-first.
There were 39 Merchant Mariners and 23 U.S. Naval Armed Guards on board. None survived.
Note: There was, and may still be, some speculation that U-306 was responsible for sinking the Robert Gray on April 23rd. Both accounts can be found online but the general consensus today is that U-108 was responsible.
