www.jcmosher.comThe story of Henry and Roxana Carpenter has become a bit of a
family mystery. It is evident that he and his wife Roxana Fay lived
in the area of Syracuse, New York for some time before coming west to
Illinois. It is believed that the Carpenters made the trip west with
Roxana's parents, Jonathan Fay and his children, arriving in late 1836
or very early 1837. It is also evident that either Henry died along
the way and never arrived at all or that he died very shortly after
his arrival. The Fay family has a family story that Jonathan Fay died
in Chicago on his way to the "Great West" and that his widow was in
1859 living in Squaw Grove, Illinois. With his date of death being
given as January 1837, perhaps he was traveling with his daughter
Roxana and this could also be an explanation to what happened to Henry
Carpenter.
Andrew Stevenson in his book Family Histories I relate the story:
"Mary Carpenter Hardin (Jerome's daughter) speaks of her father
growing up in Syracuse, NY and Salina, which had continued as
independent until 1847, then did become the first Ward of Syracuse.
She speaks of him as a boy of driving on the Erie Canal, when the
boats were drawn by horses." No Henry shows up in New York until the
1830 census in Salina, Onondaga County.
The book "The Carroll-Greene County History (Iowa) of 1887"
contains a biography for Henry Carpenter, Jr. (dated 1887) and states:
"Mr. Carpenter was born in Onondaga County, New York, in 1834, a son
of Henry and Roxana M. (Fay) Carpenter, natives of Vermont and New
York. In 1836 his father moved to Ottawa, Illinois, where he soon
after died, and his mother afterward pre-empted land in DeKalb County,
where the family were among the first settlers."
The minutes of the "Organization of the First Temperance Society in
DeKalb County, Somonauk, March 9, 1847" has "The Pledge - We hereby
pledge ourselves that we will abstain from the use of all intoxicating
drinks as a beverage and that we will use our best endeavors to
dissuade others from the use of them." The Pledge is signed, among
others, by: Byron Carpenter, Augusta Carpenter, Roxanna Carpenter,
Josepha Lay and Rhoda S. Fay.
The Town of Ottawa, Illinois was settled in about 1831 and is on
the banks of the Illinois River. Also running there is the Illinois &
Michigan (I&M) Canal. The membership records of the First
Presbyterian Church of Ottawa show Augusta Carpenter being received
February 10, 1850 and being dismissed in 1854. They show Mrs. Roxanna
Carpenter as received November 9, 1850 via a letter from the Wesleyan
Methodist Church of Somonauk, Illinois and dismissed by letter in
1854.
The Illinois Public Domain Land Tract Sales Database in the
Illinois State Archives indicate that Roxana Carpenter acquired one
parcel of land in Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb County on February 15,
1843 and two more adjoining parcels on November 19, 1847. Her son
Jerome and several of her Fay brothers were also acquiring adjoining
or nearby parcels in Squaw Grove Township during the same period.
The 1840 Census shows Roxana Carpenter living in Squaw Grove
Township, DeKalb County, Illinois without Henry but with most all of
her children. The 1850 Census shows Roxana Carpenter now living in
Ottawa, LaSalle Co., Illinois with only her two youngest children,
Byron and Augusta. The 1860 Census shows Roxana living in back in
DeKalb County in Sandwich with her daughter Augusta and husband Henry
A. Adams. The 1870 Census shows her living in Somonauk with Henry and
Augusta Adams. DeKalb and LaSalle Counties are located one above the
other with the towns of Somonauk and Sandwich right on the border in
Squaw Grove Township. Ottawa is some 25 miles to the south of
Somonauk.
Based upon all of this evidence, I believe the sequence of events
is that Henry and Roxana Carpenter came to the Ottawa, Illinois area
in some way related to the construction or establishment of the I&M
Canal. The Fay's were primarily farmers and settled slightly further
north in the Squaw Grove area of DeKalb County. Something evidently
happened to Henry very shortly after arriving but so far no records
have been located to say just what. Roxana at that time would have
been pregnant with Byron and Augusta and must have relocated north to
Squaw Grove to get assistance from her mother and brothers with the
birth and raising all of her young children. In 1840 she is still in
DeKalb County and while there, in 1843 and 1847, she acquired Public
Domain Land Tracts either to farm herself with her sons or for the
benefit of her brothers who were already engaged in farming.
By 1850 two of Roxana's children, Thaddeus and Henry, were living
and farming with her brother Horace Fay in Squaw Grove Township,
DeKalb County. But Roxana herself had returned to the Ottawa, LaSalle
County area but with only the two youngest children, then 13, perhaps
to be near another group of Carpenters that show up there or perhaps
with other families that she and Henry used to live near. No specific
connections or relationships are evident. By 1860, the entire family
is located back in DeKalb County engaged in farming with Augusta newly
married to Henry A. Adams and Roxana living with them.
Minnie Gertrude Adams remembers her Grandma Roxana very well
because she lived with the Adams' in the family home and Minnie was 14
when she died. "She was a woman who met hard things bravely and, to
me, is a real heroine. She was left a widow when she was quite young,
with six sons and one daughter. The youngest son, Byron, being a twin
to my mother, Augusta. It is my impression that the twins were born
after the death of her husband, Harry Carpenter, of whom we know very
little. She had a small farm and here grandmother raised her family.
She ran the farm as best she could and did tailoring for her neighbors
as a source of extra income." "Grandmother Roxanna was a dark haired,
dark eyed woman. She had a slender figure and was about average
height, possibly a little more. She never lost that erect slimness
and, in spite of the hard work she had done, she had a sort of stately
bearing - a little 'hauteur' that gave her a dignity that was
pleasing. She had a keen sense of humor and was fond of good reading.
She took a great interest in national affairs and was a strong
abolitionist. In her farm neighborhood was one of the stations of the
'Underground Railroad' for escaping slaves."Source Information

Subject: [CARPENTER] Henry Carpenter, b. ca 1795 in New York or Vermont
Maybe in the New Year I may finally be able to break down the brick wall and link my Henry Carpenter into any of the known Carpenter lines?
Searching for any Information on Henry Carpenter, b. ca 1795 in New York or Vermont.
We believe he lived in Syracuse and Salina, New York.
1830 NY Census shows a Henry in Salina, Onondaga Co., NY
What I believe we know is:
Married: ca 1820 in Salina, NY, Roxanna Fay, b. 07/03/1797, d. 12/07/1876, dau. of Jonathan Fay & Rhoda White.
Children: Charlotte; Marion b. ca 1822; Jerome b. 09/16/1824 in NY; Thaddeus b. ca 1829; Wallace Fay b, ca 1832; Henry Jr. b. ca 1835; Byron Fay & Augusta M. b. 09/23/1837 in Illinois.
Jerome says he grew up in Syracuse and Salina, New York but moved in 1837 to Illinois with his mother and family.
Henry Jr. says the family moved to Ottawa, IL and his father died there very soon afterwards.
I am descendant from Augusta M. Carpenter who married Henry Augustus Adams in Sandwich, Illinois.

NOTE:
Two possbiles in the 1830 US Census!
However, when we look at claimed children, they had a daughter Charlotte about 1820 who likely died before 1830 then sons Marion, Jerome and Thaddeus between abt 1822 to 1829. This makes A. below the best match!A.

Hoff family is Dwelling 1869 - Family Number 54.
The next family on the census page is Augustus Adams with dwelling 1870 but Family number 56.
Thiis means there are two families out of sequence.
I suspect Henry Adams listed above is Family number 55 with Roxaana Adams (Age 60 should be surnamed Carpenter).

22. Charlotte "Caroline" Carpenter
She is said to have married a Shelton and had four children.
Minnie Adams Houston remembers that Uncle Marion left home before the
Civil War. He wrote a few letters at long intervals but finally ceased
altogether. He was gone over 18 years and the family supposed he was
dead. The war was over and they had only known that he had "gone
south." His return was one of the most dramatic incidents of the
family history. He had lived for years in New Orleans, had married an
English woman and had one son.

Hi Paul, I'm also researching this couple being descended from their son Alonzo. I've found a possible birth record for Moses in New Hampshire and a possible marriage record in Hartford, Vermont. Moses and Mary are buried in West Cemetery, Benton, New Hampshire along with Adeline and her husband, John Cox. Ginny BlairCENSUS: 1850 US Census

Discovering the father of Asa S. Carpenter
Posted on April 20, 2021 by Surviving December
In addition to her work on her Wilson/Reed family tree, Phyllis Carpenter spent years researching the family tree of her husband Thomas Ray Carpenter. The Carpenter branch of the family descended through Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) and George Thomas Carpenter (1885-1924) to Henry Austin Carpenter (1842-1895). Born in Charleston (Penobscot County, Maine), Henry Austin Carpenter (1842-1895) served in the famed 20th of Maine during the Civil War prior to moving to Missouri where he married his wife Frances “Fannie” Ewing in 1867. According to his Civil War pension file, Henry Austin Carpenter’s father Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) was in his fifties when he enlisted in the 22nd of Maine Volunteers prior to his death in Baton Rouge (Louisiana) on March 8, 1863; and Asa S. Carpenter’s widow Susanna W. Young (née Young) lived in East Corinth (Maine) in 1863 and died in 1887.[1]
Unfortunately, Phyllis Carpenter never could confirm who the parents of Asa S. Carpenter were or where they came from. Understanding Y-DNA testing could be used to identify paternal family lines by identifying closely matched descendants, she hoped someone in the family would submit a Y-DNA test so more could be discovered about the paternal line of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863). Unlike autosomal DNA tests used by Ancestry and 23andMe, Y-DNA tests match the Y chromosome which is only passed down from father to son. Recently, her son submitted a Y-DNA test and the entire family was astonished to learn all the closest Y-DNA matches were Cady descendants instead of Carpenter.As the Y chromosome passes down virtually unchanged from father to son makes it possible to trace back thousands of years, this is not really all that uncommon as the use of hereditary family surnames did not become prevalent in England and the lowlands of Scotland until the mid 1400’s and was not mandated in the Netherlands until 1811. In addition to voluntary adoptions of young children and possibility of infidelity, British law allowed for orphans, illegitimate children, and children of poor families to be involuntarily forced into indentured servitude in the American colonies resulting in many illiterate young men “adopting” new surnames. Any one of these reasons could have contributed to why a son of a “Cady” father would have assumed the surname of “Carpenter” prior to the birth of Henry Austin Carpenter (1842-1895), including Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863).
In the context of genetic genealogy, reasons a son would have a different surname from that of his biological father include: illegitimacy outside marriage (son taking maiden name of mother); infidelity within marriage (son taking surname of mother’s husband); re-marriage (son taking surname of step-father); rape (son taking surname of mother); adoptions (including son taking surname of guardian); apprentice/slave (taking surname of master); tenants taking surname of landlord; anglicisation (using translated/phonetically similar name); hiding criminal past; and taking name of trade.
According to information provided by the Carpenter Cousin’s Y-DNA Project, Asa S. Carpenter was believed to have been born about 1808 in Springfield (Sullivan County, New Hampshire) as the 7th child of Comfort Carpenter and Cartert Collins (1769-1847). Comfort Carpenter was believed to have been born sometime between 1770-1780 in Cheshire County (New Hampshire); Catert Collins was born in Salisbury (Merrimack County, New Hampshire) on August 5, 1769. The children of Comfort Carpenter and Cartert Collins were Moses Collin Carpenter (1792-1858), Timothy C. Carpenter (1794-1832), Chester C. Carpenter (1796-1830), Lavinia Carpenter (1799-1836), Jonathan Carpenter (1803-?), Charles W. Carpenter (1805-1870+), and Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863). Although New Hampshire marriage records confirm Cumfort Carpenter married Cartaret Collin in Salisbury on May 17, 1792;[2] more documentation is needed to support these suppositions.At the present time, the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was the only descendant of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) and/or Comfort Carpenter to have shared Y-DNA test results with Carpenter Cousin’s Y-DNA Project. If additional male descendants of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) and/or Comfort Carpenter (i.e. descendants of sons Moses Collin Carpenter, Timothy C. Carpenter, Chester C. Carpenter, Jonathan Carpenter, & Charles W. Carpenter) submit to Y-DNA testing of at least 37 markers, it will clarify the parental lineage. Please contact us and/or the Carpenter Cousin’s Y-DNA Project for additional information if interested.
Although it is more difficult to establish distant relationships utilizing autosomal DNA matches, it can be useful in conjunction with traditional genealogy methods, mitochondrial DNA testing (mtDNA) which is passed from mother to child, and the testing of Y-DNA. Supporting the genealogical documentation, autosomal DNA of a granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) did matched (14 cM across 1 segment) with another descendant of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) through his son William Alfred Carpenter (1833-?). Interestingly, this granddaughter also matched 8 cM across 1 segment with a descendant of Charles M. Carpenter (1797-1878) and his wife Eliza Eaton (1813-1892). However, other researchers listed Charles M. Carpenter (1797-1878) as a son of Comfort Carpenter (1763-1806) and his wife Thankful Kent (1769-1851).
According to the Y-DNA test, the closest descendant (matching 109 of 111 markers) with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976) indicating the probability their common male ancestor was the father of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) would be 77.34% (within seven generations). Moreover, the probability their common male ancestor increases to 86.94% for the grandfather of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863), to 92.63% for his grandfather (9th generation), and 95.9% for his great-grandfather (10th generation). Consequently, it is most probable that their shared male ancestor would be found between the 7th and 10th generations of the grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976). According to Y-DNA research, a match of 109 of 111 markers of two men that have the same surname (i.e. Cady had changed to Carpenter) indicates a close family relationship with most matches 7th cousins or closer, and over half are 4th or more recent cousins.
For purpose of this analysis, all probability calculations provided in this post were made assuming no common male ancestor within six generations of the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966).
In the limited family tree information provided by the grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976), Elijah Cady Sr (1720-1812) was the earliest Cady ancestor (his 9th generation) listing his son Elijah Cady Jr (1747-1834) next (8th generation), and then Elijah Cady Jr’s son Reverend Samuel Cady (1780-1851) next (7th generation). Although Reverend Samuel Cady (1780-1851) died in Indiana, Elijah Cady Sr (died in Cornish, New Hampshire) and his son Elijah Cady Jr (born in Windham County, Connecticut)[3] appear to have been living within close proximity to where both Asa S. Carpenter and Comfort Carpenter were believed to have been born.Carpenter-Asa(1776Map-Cornish-NH)
Cropped from 1776 map of Tobias Conrad Lotter of inhabited part of New England (Library of Congress) with Cornish (New Hampshire) highlighted in yellow.According to the History of Cornish, Lieutenant Elijah Cady Sr (1720-1812) and his wife Dinah Spaulding (1723-1812) were listed among the early settlers of Cornish (New Hampshire) moving from Connecticut along with his father William Cady and his brother Abijah Cady (1718-1777). Settling on the eastern side of the Connecticut River (across the river from Windsor, Vermont), among the eleven children of Lieutenant Elijah Cady Sr (1720-1812) were five sons: Captain Elias Cady (1741-1826), Elijah Cady (born November 1, 1747), Curtis Cady (born June 17, 1755), Noah Cady (born May 15, 1760), and Jonathan Cady (born February 1, 1767). His father, William Cady was the son of Captain Joseph Cady and had settled in Killingly (Connecticut) prior to removing to Cornish.[4] Interestingly, the 22 year-old Curtis Cady (1755-1778) died when he fell from his horse in Claremont (Sullivan County, New Hampshire) on April 11, 1778 (he is buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery). Born in Windham County (Connecticut), Curtis Cady (1755-1778) enlisted in the First New Hampshire regiment in February 1777 and was discharged on April 4, 1778. His brothers Lieutenant Elias Cady and Private Elijah Cady served under Colonel Jonathan Chase’s Regiment in 1777 (Ticonderoga).[5]
Cady-Curtis(1778Gravestone-NH)
Photo of the headstone Curtis Cady (1755-1778) provided by Robert Kessell (findagrave.com).A review of matches with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) revealed a match (13 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Captain Joseph Cady in the tenth generation through his son Steven Cady (1701-1785), through his son Samuel Cady (1724-1799), through his son Reverend Jeremiah Cady (1753-1848), and through his son Stephen Cady (1786-1863). Born in Groton (Massachusetts), Captain Joseph Cady’s son Stephen Cady (1701-1785) removed to Killingly (Connecticut) with his parents where he married Abagail Lee and became a prosperous man of means. Born in Killingly (Connecticut), his son Samuel Cady (1724-1799) married Elizabeth Winter and in 1764 removed to Shutesbury (Massachusetts) where he would enlist and marched to Ticonderoga in 1777. Born in Killingly, his son Jeremiah Cady (1752-1848) married Hannah Warner and joined “the immortal tea party” in Boston where he later fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Soon after 1800, Jeremiah Cady (1752-1848) removed to Friendship in Allegany County (New York) and would move back to Massachusetts after his wife died sometime around 1829. Born in Shutesbury, his son Stephen Cady (1786-1863) removed to New York with his parents and married Cynthia Robinson (of Williamstown, Vermont). In 1836 he moved to Blennem (Ontario, Canada) and in 1839 he moved to Cambridge (Illinois) where he died.[6]
Curiously, another early settler of Cornish was the family of Nathaniel Carpenter (born July 18, 1756) and his wife Elfreda Dresser. Born in Pomfret (Connecticut), Nathaniel Carpenter and his family moved to Cornish about 1775 and remained there until about 1800 when they remove to Stafford (Vermont).[7] The children of Nathaniel Carpenter (1756-1829) and his wife Elfreda were daughter Orinda Carpenter (1776-1838), daughter Abigail Carpenter (1781-?), son Harvey Carpenter (1784-1851), son John Carpenter (1785-?), and son Thomas Dresser Carpenter. Since his wife was the daughter of Nathan Dresser and Orinda Carpenter (1737-?), Nathaniel Carpenter (1756-1829) and his wife Elfreda Dresser were distant cousins. Born in Rehoboth (Massachusetts), Orinda Carpenter (1737-?) was a daughter of Captain Comfort Carpenter (1709-1739). Although his gravestone is in Rehoboth (Massachusetts), according to family tradition Captain Comfort Carpenter (1709-1739) was “killed by the Indians in Charlestown” (New Hampshire). Nathaniel Carpenter (1756-1829) was the son of Nathaniel Carpenter (1718-?) and Mary Leffingwell (?-1764). Born in Pomfret (Connecticut), Nathaniel Carpenter (1718-?) was the son of Samuel Carpenter (1684-?) who was born in Rehoboth (Massachusetts) and removed to Pomfret prior to his marriage to Hannah Johnson (?-1747).[8]
The next closest descendant (matching 66 of 67 markers) identified by Y-DNA testing for the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Chauncey Marvin Cady (1854-1925). Reviewing the limited family tree information (six generations) provided by the grandson of Chauncey Marvin Cady (1854-1925), the probability that his great grandfather John Cady (1736-1824) was the common male ancestor was only 43.47%. Yet, the probability increased to 81.94% over the next two generations (8th generation) and there was a 94.23% probability the common male ancestor would be found within ten generations. Interestingly, John Cady (1736-1824) was reported to have been born in Killingly (Connecticut) November 28, 1736.[9]
According to the research compiled by Orrin Peer Allen (1833-1918), the father of John Cady (1736-1824) was Benjamin Cady (1714-1788). Born in Killingly (Connecticut), Benjamin Cady (1714-1788) was a son of Captain Joseph Cady (8th generation) indicating that Captain Joseph Cady was a common male ancestor of the grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976) and the grandson of Chauncey Marvin Cady (1854-1925). John Cady (1736-1824) “remained in Killingly till soon after the commencement of the Revolution, when he removed to Reading or Windsor” (Vermont). “About 1803 he removed with his sons to Fair Haven” (Vermont) and after some years removed to Westport (New York) were he died in 1824. His sons Sergeant Benjamin Cady (1758-?) and Jonathan Cady (1760-1852) both fought in the Revolutionary War and Jonathan Cady (1760-1852) later died in Westport (New York). It is not known what happened to Sergeant Benjamin Cady (1758-?) after he left Fair Haven (Vermont).[10]
In should be noted that Captain Joseph Cady’s grandson Barnabas Cady married Margaret Carpenter (of Killingly) in Plainfield (Windham County, Connecticut) on October 8, 1750.[11] Born in Killingly (Windham County, Connecticut), Barnabas Cady and his wife Margaret had three known children: twins Jesse and Margaret Cady (born April 13, 1752) and daughter Sarah Cady (born October 7, 1754).[12] Barnabas Cady’s wife Margaret is reported to have died in 1755, and he reportedly died in Cornish (Sullivan County, New Hampshire) on July 13, 1777 (need citation). Interestingly, the autosomal DNA of a granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) matched 15 cM across 1 segment with a descendant of Joseph Cady and his wife Elizabeth Hosmer in the tenth generation through their daughter Damaris Cady (1717-1775) and her husband Perley Howe (1711-1753). Joseph Cady (1690-1768) was another son of Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742) and his daughter Damaris Cady (1717-1775) was baptized in Killingly (Connecticut). Joseph Cady (1690-1768) built a house for his daughter (wife of Reverend Pearley Howe) on Putman Heights.[13]
All that is known about Margaret Carpenter prior to her marriage with Barnabas Cady was that she was from Killingly in Windham County, Connecticut. It is likely she was related to the family of Jesse Carpenter (1684-1746) and his wife Margaret Bacon (1689-1743). The son of Captain John Carpenter (1652-?) and his wife Rebecca Readaway, Jesse Carpenter (1684-1746) and his wife Margaret were living in Killingly (Connecticut) when Margaret Carpenter died (1743) and Jesse Carpenter (1684-?) married his second wife (Mary Bacon ?) before he too died in Killingly. Although their son Benjamin Carpenter (1722-?) married a Margaret (surname unknown) and the date of his death was not given, their son Benjamin Carpenter Jr was born about 1756[14] suggesting Benjamin Carpenter (1722-?) was still alive and thus it would be unlikely his widow Margaret Carpenter could have married Barnabas Cady.
Another autosomal match (14 cM across 1 segment) with the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966), was with a descendant of Captain David Cady (1703-1788) and his wife Hannah Whitmore (1705-1803) in the eleventh generation through their daughter Sarah M. Cady (1724-1782) and her husband with a surname of Bennet. Another son of Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742), Captain David Cady (1703-1788) had a granddaughter (Sabra Cady) that married Abel Hosmer (the son of Ephraim Hosmer & Dorcas Carpenter).[15] Curiously, another autosomal match (16 cM across 1 segment) with this granddaughter was with a descendant of Mary Carpenter (1704-1794) and her husband Manassah Homser (1702-1791) through their daughter Mary/Molly Hosmer (1729-1806). Mary Carpenter and her daughter were born in Woodstock (Windham County, Connecticut). Another match (16 cM across 1 segment) was with a descendant of a sister of Manassah Homser (1702-1791) through Martha Hosmer (1706-1755) and her husband Lieutenant John Corbin (1698-1751) after eleven generations.
Matching 65 of the 67 markers tested with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Morris Stansel Cady (1897-1988). Interestingly, his family has traced his paternal line back nine generations to Ezekiel Cady (1686-1771) who was reported to have died in Pomfret County (Connecticut) where his family remained until his grandson Stoddard Cady (1752-1795) removed to neighboring Massachusetts with the next generation (David Cady [1786-?]) relocating to Indiana. The probability that that this Ezekiel Cady (1686-1771) was common male ancestor was 84.07%, dropping to 74.37% probability it was his son Ezekiel Cady (1710-1754) and 59.14% that it was his grandson Stoddard Cady (1752-1795).[16]
Carpenter-Asa(1755Map-CT)
Cropped from the 1755 map of Inhabited Parts of New England (Library of Congress), Killingly and Pomfret are in the upper northeastern corner of Connecticut on the border of Rhode Island.Born in Groton (Massachusetts), Ezekiel Cady (1686-1771) was one of four sons of Daniel Cady (1659-1736) and his wife Mary Green. The son of Nicholas Cady (a carpenter by trade), Daniel Cady (1659-1736) was the brother Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742) and the uncle of the William Cady that had removed from Killingly (Connecticut) to Cornish (New Hampshire).[17] This indicates Nicholas Cady (at the 11 generation) was a common male ancestor of the grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976) and the grandson of Morris Stansel Cady (1897-1988). Notably, the probability the common male ancestor of the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) and the grandson of Morris Stansel Cady (1897-1988) would be found within eleven generations increased to 93.99%. Notably, there was a match (11 cM across 1 segment) of the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) with a descendant of a brother of Ezekiel Cady (1686-1771) in the eleventh generation through Daniel Cady (1692-1767) by way of his daughter Amity Cady (1719-1768) and her husband Joseph Parke (1712-1768).
A review of matches with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) revealed a match (16 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Jonathan Cady (1693-1753) and his wife Hannah in the tenth generation through their daughter Susanna Cady (1720-1789) and her husband Benjamin Hubbard (1720-1790). Jonathan Cady (1693-1753) was the son of Nicholas Cady’s oldest son John Cady (1650-?).[18] Similarly, another autosomal DNA match (14 cM across 1 segment) was found with a descendant of John Cady (1650-?) in the eleventh generation through his daughter Esther Cady (1686-1734) and her husband John Adams (1686-1734). Another son of Nicholas Cady, Nicholas Cady Jr (1664-1724) married Patience Redland (1667-1728) in 1683 and “removed from Old Killingly prior to 1720” to Preston (Connecticut) where he died. One of his sons, Jacob Cady (1702-?) married Lydia Webber in 1724 and is known to have had two sons: Jacob Cady (born October 13, 1733) and Asa Cady (born April 1738).[19] Additional research is needed to learn if Asa Cady had any children.
Matching 107 of the 111 markers tested with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Albert Henry Rogers (1860-1946). According to his family, Albert Henry Rogers (1860-1946) was the son of Nelson Cady (1825-1906) and Hannah T. Rogers (1822-1896). On February 25, 1825, Nelson Cady was reported to have been born in Guilford (Chinango, New York) and to have died in Utica (Oneida, New York) on January 21, 1906. In 1838, the children (Georg, Nelson, Catherine, Frances, & Almira) of Orin and Beulak Cady were baptized in the Guilford Center Presbyterian Church (New York).[20]
Nelson Cady (1825-1906) was the son of Orrin Cady and Beulah Stebbins. Born in Butternuts (New York), Orrin Cady (1794-1871) was the son of Reuben Cady. Born in Stafford (Connecticut), Reuben Cady (1753-1826) “enlisted as a private in Captain Paul Blogett’s Company” and marched to relief of Boston in April 1775. Reuben Cady (1753-1826) was the son of Timothy Cady (1716-1762) and brother of Amasa Cady (1751-1753). Born in Killingly (Connecticut), Timothy Cady (1716-1762) was the son of Daniel Cady (1682-1744); and he was the son of James Cady (1655-1690) who was the son of Nicholas Cady and brother of Captain Joseph Cady.[21] Consequently, in the eleventh generation the grandson of Albert Henry Rogers (1860-1946) has a common male ancestor in Nicholas Cady with the grandson of Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976) and the grandson of Morris Stansel Cady (1897-1988). Accordingly, the probability the common male ancestor of the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) and the grandson of Albert Henry Rogers (1860-1946) would be found within eleven generations was 93.63% indicating Nicholas Cady was their common male ancestor as well.
Using triangulation, identification of the common male ancestor of several different family trees can potentially be used to recreate the Y-DNA markers of this common male ancestor (without digging them up & testing them). Additional assistance is needed to determine if this can provide additional insights as to the paternal line of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966).
Interestingly, a review of matches with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) revealed a match (9 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Daniel Cady (1682-1744) and his wife Abigail Philbrick (1687-1756) in the 10 generation through their daughter Zerviah Cady (1711-1777) and her husband Cyprian Morse (1712-1795). In 1707, Daniel Cady (1682-1744) removed from Groton (Massachusetts) and moved to Killingly (Connecticut) where he lived on a farm adjoining his uncle Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742). In 1721, Daniel Cady (1682-1744) moved to Tolland County (Connecticut) and had moved back to Killingly by 1730. Baptized in Killingly, Daniel Cady’s daughter Zerviah Cady (1711-1777) married Cyprian Morse (1712-1795) in 1737 and removed to Stafford (Tolland County, Connecticut) after 1750. Although identified as the son of Daniel Cady (1682-1744) and his wife Abigail Philbrick (1687-1756) in the compiled research, the vital records from Killingly listed Zerviah Cady as the wife of Cyprian Morse with the children given their father’s surname of Morse.[22]In addition, another match (12 cM across 1 segment) with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was revealed with a descendant of Jonas Cady (1719-1775) and his wife Mary Green (1729-1823) in the tenth generation through their son Jesse Cady (1751-1810) and his wife Jerusha Chapin (1749-1829) by way of their daughter Abigail Cady (1783-1835). In 1741, Daniel Cady (1682-1744) purchased 245½ acres from Samuel Chapman in Stafford Township of Tolland County (Connecticut) for the benefit of his sons Timothy Cady (1716-1762) and Jonas Cady (1719-1775). In 1744, Jonas Cady (1719-1775) paid his father £250 and was deeded half interest in the 245½ acres and married Mary Green (also of Killingly). Jonas Cady (1719-1775) and his brother Timothy Cady (1716-1762) jointly farmed the 245½ acres in Stafford Township (dividing it in 1752); and in 1759, “the General Court of Connecticut appointed and commissioned Jonas Cady Ensign of the 13th Company of the 5th Regt.“. The children of Jonas Cady (1719-1775) and his wife Mary were: Hezekiah Cady (born September 1, 1748), Jesse Cady (born 1751), Henry Cady, Asa Cady (born March 18, 1755), Jedediah Cady (born October 6, 1759), and Timothy Cady (1762-1783).[23]
Curiously, a review of matches with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) revealed a match (9 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Jonas Cady (1719-1775) and his wife Mary Green (1729-1823) in the eighth generation through their son Asa Cady (1755-1826) and his wife Martha Wood (1760-1823) through their daughter Clarissa “Clara” Cady (1786-1864) and her husband Ira Day (1781-1837). Ensign Jonas Cady’s son Asa Cady (1755-1826) was one of the volunteer “minutemen” that responded to the “Lexington Alarm of 1775” to fight the British in Boston and later married Martha Wood (of Somers, Connecticut) on January 16, 1780. After settling in Stafford (Connecticut), in 1796 Asa Cady (1755-1826) and his wife removed to Chester (Massachusetts) and later to Hinsdale (Massachusetts) where he died. The children of Asa Cady (1755-1826) and his wife Martha were daughter Lois Cady (1802-?), daughter Esther Cady, daughter Clarissa Cady, Abial Cady, and son Asa Cady. Although he never fathered any children of his own, their son Asa Cady remained in Hinsdale (Massachusetts) where he would adopt the children of his second wife Ann M. Merrill after his first wife Terresa Hathaway died.[24]
Notably, a Comfort Carpenter (1740-1835) was found to have enlisted in a company of men raised in Tolland County (Connecticut) under the command of Captain Solomon Willis to march to the relief of Boston where he would serve as the “first Sargent of the 5th Company of the 33rd Regiment” on May 5, 1775. Comfort Carpenter fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill and his son (Timothy Carpenter) signed a supporting affidavit for the pension application of his father in 1832.[25] The roll reportedly kept by Sargent Comfort Carpenter included Private Nathan Carpenter in the list of 98 men (no Cady surnames) that served in the company. Born in Tolland County (Connecticut), Timothy Carpenter (1764-?) would later serve as substitute for his father (his mother was Mary Carpenter) in 1778 when he was only 14 years-old and received a bounty for 160 acres for his service.[26]
According to Tolland County (Connecticut) records, Comfort Carpenter of Coventry (Connecticut) married Mary Flint (of Tolland) on October 13, 1763; Dan Carpenter of Tolland married Abia Porter (of Lebanon) on January 12, 1758; Lois Carpenter of Coventry married Joseph Baker Jr (of Tolland) on March 25, 1762; Reuben Carpenter married Anna Burroughs on September 11, 1766; and Catherine Carpenter of Coventry married Solomon West (of Tolland) on February 29, 1776. At the age of 94, Comfort Carpenter died on April 11, 1835; his 86 year-old wife Mary Carpenter had died on November 3, 1831. The children of Comfort and Mary Carpenter born in Tolland (Connecticut) were son Timothy Carpenter was born on August 2, 1764; son Stephen Carpenter was born January 25, 1767; daughter Molly Carpenter was born on November 21, 1768; and daughter Louis Carpenter was born on June 26, 1782. Molley Carpenter married Simon Loomis (of Tolland) on March 8, 1787; and Timothy Carpenter married Hopee Rider (of Tolland) on January 8, 1789.[27]
Dan Carpenter (1730-1821), Reuben Carpenter (1746-1809), and Comfort Carpenter (1740-1835) were sons of Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) and his wife Rebecca Smith (1705-1788). Other children included son Benjamin Carpenter (1727-1756), son Elijah Carpenter (1732-1786), daughter Mabel Carpenter (1734-1742), daughter Rebecca Carpenter (1745-?), son Joseph Carpenter (1736-1776), daughter Esther Carpenter (1737-?), daughter Mary Carpenter (1739-?), daughter Lois Carpenter (1742-?), son Levi Carpenter (1744-?), son Jonathan Carpenter (1748-?), and son Jesse Carpenter (1750-?). Born in Northampton (Massachusetts), Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) was the son of Benjamin Carpenter (1663-1738) and Hannah Strong (1671-1762).[28] Conspicuously, there was a match (13 cM across 1 segment) with the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) with a descendant of Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) and his wife Rebecca Smith (1705-1788) in the tenth generation through their daughter Esther Carpenter (1737-1827) and her husband William Porter (1728-1778). Likewise, there were two matches (both 12 cM across 1 segment) in the 10th/11th generations with descendants of Benjamin Carpenter through his son Elijah Carpenter (1732-1803) and his wife Patience Brewster (1738-1786).
Moreover, the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) matched three descendants of Elisha Carpenter (1725-1816) and his wife Deliverance Meraugh (1729-1826) in the ninth generation with one (18 cM across 1 segment) through their daughter Bethiah Carpenter (1754-1852) and her husband George Stewart (1753-1815); and two (9 cM across 1 segment & 8 cM across 1 segment) through their daughter Elizabeth Carpenter (1762-1829) and her husband Ebenezer Walker (1749-1820). Born in Coventry (Tolland County, Connecticut), Elisha Carpenter (1725-1816) was the son of Amos Carpenter (1693-1793) and his wife Deborah Long. Amos Carpenter (1693-1793) was the older brother of Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) and son of Benjamin Carpenter (1663-1738) and Hannah Strong (1671-1762).[29] Similarly, the there was another match (15 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Elizabeth Carpenter (1707-1796) and her husband Truman Powell (1704-1759) at the tenth generation through their daughter Elizabeth Powell (1727-1801) and her husband Edward Richmond (1723-1802). Born on June 17, 1707, Elizabeth Carpenter was the younger sister of Amos Carpenter (1693-1793) and Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785).[30] Likewise, there was yet another match (14 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Asa Carpenter (1739-1801) and his wife Patience Dunham (1744-1776) in the ninth generation through their son Ebenezer Carpenter (1770-1828) and his wife Mary Wilson (1774-1847). Born in Coventry (Tolland County, Connecticut), Asa Carpenter (1739-1801) was the son of Ebenezer Carpenter (1709-1777) and died in Sharon (Windsor, Vermont); and Ebenezer Carpenter (1709-1777) was the younger brother of Amos Carpenter (1693-1793), Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) Elizabeth Carpenter (1707-1796).[31] This is further supported by another match (12 cM across 1 segment) with a descendant of Ebenezer Carpenter (1709-1777) and his wife Eunice Thompson (1721-1777) in the eighth generation through their daughter Rachel Carpenter (1769-1840) and her husband James Tisdale (1771-1813).
Many, if not all, of these matched Carpenter family trees included branches of the Spaulding family that appeared to be related with Dinah Spaulding (1723-1812), the wife of Lieutenant Elijah Cady Sr (1720-1812).
Matching 107 of the 111 markers tested with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Elihu Hughes Cady (1855-1945) with the probability of their common father reported to be 61.46% within 8 generations to 95.79% within 13 generations. According to his family, Elihu Hughes Cady (1855-1945) was the son of St. Clair Cade (1815-1893); and he was the son of John D. Cady. According to his family, Elihu Hughes Cady (1855-1945) was the son of St. Clair Cade (1815-1893) and his wife Elba Baker (1822-1893); and believed to be the grandsons of John D. Cady. Born in Tennessee (November 26, 1815), St. Clair Cade (1815-1893) is believed to have married his wife in Claiborne County (Tennessee) prior to removing to Iowa by 1850 where he died (January 20, 1893) in Taylor County (Iowa). He is buried in the Dallas Center Cemetery. Unfortunately, more information is need to help determine the potential common male ancestor.
Matching 106 of the 111 markers tested with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a descendant of Benjamin Johnson Cady (1797-1879) with no additional information of his paternal line provided. In addition, the autosomal DNA of the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) matched 13 cM across 2 segments with a descendant of Benjamin Johnson Cady (1797-1879) and his wife Catherine Leming (1798-1849) in the seventh generation through his son Benjamin Franklin Cady (1838-1899). Furthermore, matching 105 of the 111 markers tested with the grandson of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) was a grandson of Benjamin E. Cady (1885-1956) and the information regarding his family line had been traced back five generations to Naham Cady (1816-1890) who was born in Ohio and died in Cleves, Ohio. Documented research found on ancestry.com listed Naham Cady (1816-1890) and his brother Benjamin Johnson Cady (1797-1879) as son of Joseph C. Cady Sr (1765-1821) and grandsons of Penuel Cady (1732-1789). Penuel Cady (1732-1789) was the son of James Cady (1694-1732) and the grandson of Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742)[32] indicating the common male ancestor was Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742) in the ninth generation (probability within 9 generations was 73.98% & 63.46%). As previously stated, Captain Joseph Cady (1666-1742) also appeared to have been the Raymond E. Cady (1903-1976) and the grandson of Chauncey Marvin Cady (1854-1925).
As we continue to parse through the new information generated from the Y-DNA test results, we will continue to learn about the Cady family ties with Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) with the hope of finding the missing piece that identifies his father. The pattern of distant autosomal DNA matches between the granddaughter of Mervin Ray Carpenter (1920-1966) and at least two children of Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) and his wife Rebecca Smith (1705-1788) along with matches to at least three of the siblings of Benjamin Carpenter II (1695-1785) suggests a daughter of this family may very likely been the mother of the son with a Cady family male. In addition to living in close proximity with the identified branches of the Cady family during the matching timeframe, the naming patterns found in this Carpenter family align with the names of Asa S. Carpenter (1808?-1863) and his suspected father Comfort Carpenter.
