LostandFound,

I just messaged you my email address.  If you don't mind, I would really appreciate if you could send the census information you have. 

You may not be researching the wrong family.  We may find that our information was incorrect.  I would just like to know one way or the other.  At least I may find some more information that will help me track down the truth.

Thanks so much for your time and help.

Hi LostAndFound,

Charles Carpenter was my great-great Grandfather.  I never knew him, as he and my Great-Grandmother divorced before I was born. 

We are pretty positive that John Carpenter b.1735 was from Ireland, and family history has it that John D. Carpenter was born in Dublin in 1849, and came to the US as a stowaway on a merchant ship some time in the 1850's at a very young age. 

I would like to see the information showing him born in Virginia.  I will message you my email address if you would be willing to share what you have. 

I will get in contact with my Mom to see if we can track down birth and marriage certificates. 

Thanks!

Lost and Found,

Sorry if what I posted was confusing.  The 1859 was not John and Julia's wedding date... it was Julia's birth date.  John's wife Julia was supposedly from Berlin; not the Carpenter family members. 

The information I posted is all I have for now and it was from my Mother's records.  She obtained part of the information from family, and part from Ancestry.com.  I posted on here in the hopes that maybe someone on here would have more information, since this is all we've been able to find. 

I am excited to see that you listed Amos Carpenter as John D's father; that was a piece I didn't have.  I would love to find out more about Amos.  I think there is one more generation between Amos and John that I'm hoping to find.

Thanks.

I am also descended through Robert's line, and then through his son, John Edgar Trimble.

Dublin / Carpenter Family Dublin Ireland

Looking for any information about the family of John Carpenter b.1735 d.1807.  Married Elizabeth Scherer b.1749 d.1811.   

We think that he had a grandson or great-grandson, John Darrah Carpenter b.1849 in Dublin d.11-5-1925 1925.  He was married to Julia Moore b.10-10-1859 in Berlin, Germany d. 4-21-1926.

They had a son, Charles Lee Carpenter b. 9-13-1888 in Roane County, West Virginia d. 9-27-1926 in Rochester, Pennsylvania.  He was married to my great-grandmother Mary Juliette Davis b. 1897 in Middlefield, Ohio d. 1989 in Lutz, Florida. 

We are missing at least one maybe two generational links between John Carpenter b.1735 and John Darrah Carpenter b.1849.  I would love to find the names for this generation.

Fermanagh / James Trimble Family in Enniskillen, Fermanaugh County
« on: Wednesday 30 April 14 18:35 BST (UK)  »
I just recently took a trip to Enniskillen in Fermanaugh County, Ireland.  I was very excited to find a butcher shop called J. Trimble Meats there, and also that a Trimble family had owned the "Impartial Reporter" for many generations. 

My great-great-great grandfather on my father’s side, James Trimble b. 1814 (married Margaret Elizabeth Graham), came to the US with his family from Enniskillen, Fermanagh County, Ireland, in 1846 when his son, my great-great grandfather Robert Trimble b. 1846 (married Emma Alvina Wright), was six months old.  My great-grandfather's name was John Edgar Trimble, my grandfather's name was also John Edgar Trimble, and my father's name is Charles Edgar Trimble.  Myself, my father, and my grandfather are all from Pennsylvania. 

If anyone knows anything about my family and if they are somehow connected to the Trimbles still in Fermanaugh County, I would love to know more.

Do you know what Margaret Trimble's parents' names were? 

My grandfather's name was John Edgar Trimble, and he lived in Aliquippa, PA, where I was born.  His father's name was also John Edgar Trimble, who was the son of Robert Trimble who came to the US when he was six months old with his father James Trimble (wife Margaret Elizabeth Graham) in 1846 from Enniskillen, Fermanaugh County, Ireland.
