Descendants of a speculated La Vinda Carpenter-204202
associated with St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana

Notes


2. Samuel "Burrell" Carpenter

NOTE:
See the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project - Group 37 and Group 8.
Either we have a NPE or an error in genealogy. I suspect NPE due to spouse having male children then married a Carpenter. Those children assumed the surname Carpenter.

NAME:
Some have his name a Burrell Samuel Carpenter. But it appears to be just Samuel with the nickname of Burrell.  Later descendants shortened this to just Burl.
