NARA RG29 M432 Roll 896 p. 336a, line 37, dwelling/family 393. George T Carpenter 49 Laborer real estate $4,010 b. KENTUCKY — indexed 'George T', carrying the alternate 'George F'; Ancestry's own suggested records resolve him to 'George Franklin Carpenter Sr' Sarah Carpenter 44 Linzy 24 · Franklin 17 · Edmand 12 · William 9 · James 5 · Mary 1 ⭐⭐ THE MIGRATION DATUM — HE IS NOT IN KENTUCKY. The tree places this family in Lincoln Co., KY; in 1850 they are in SMITH COUNTY, TENNESSEE. Their children's birthplaces date the move to c. 1845-49. ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE, six of six: Sarah 44 = [957] Sarah Sallie Powell b. 1805 · Linzy 24 = [211] LINDSEY POWELL Carpenter b. 1825 (his middle name is his mother's surname) · Franklin 17 = [960] George Franklin Jr b. 1832 · Edmand 12 = [958] Edmund Clinton b. 1837 · William 9 = [1061] William Henry b. 1840 · James 5 = [1067] James Winston b. 1845 · Mary 1 = [1068] Mary b. 1848. ⚠️ [959] Leanoh A b. 1835 would be 15 and is ABSENT — unexplained, probably died.

NARA RG29 M653 Roll M653_1272 p. 400, dwelling/family 393. FHL film 805272. Geo F Carpenter 58 Farmer real estate $14,000 personal $9,000 b. KENTUCKY Sallie Carpenter 54 Wm H 20 · James W 15 · Mary E 10 · David S 8 ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE, four of four: Wm H 20 = [1061] William Henry b. 1840 · James W 15 = [1067] James Winston b. 1845 · Mary E 10 = [1068] Mary b. 1848 · David S 8 = [1069] David FRYE Carpenter b. 1852. Sallie 54 = [957] Sarah Sallie Powell. ⭐⭐ THE WEALTH TRAJECTORY: $4,010 real estate in 1850 becomes $14,000 plus $9,000 personal in 1860 — and he has gone from LABOURER to FARMER. Ten years in Tennessee were prosperous ones. ⭐ Still the same dwelling and family number, 393, in both censuses.
