READ FROM THE RECORD PAGE BY CLAUDE 31 Jul 2026. Ancestry coll. 7667 rec. 40341280. NARA RG29 M653 Roll M653_626 p. 857, dwelling 889 family 957, PO Knob Noster. FHL film 803626. Adam Carpenter 55 Farmer real estate $6,000 personal $10,000 b. KENTUCKY Mary A Carpenter 42 Nancy C 16 · Wm D 13 · Matilda E 12 · Bersheba 5 · Mary E 10/12 ⭐⭐ THE FAMILY LEFT KENTUCKY. In 1850 they are in Casey Co., KY; by 1860 they are in JOHNSON CO., MISSOURI. Five children match the tree by name and age: Nancy C 16 = [749] Nancy Coleman b. 1843 · Wm D 13 = [750] William Dinwiddie b. 1847 · Matilda E 12 = [744] Matilda Ellen b. 1848 · Bersheba 5 = [748] Beersheba Powell b. 1855 · Mary E 10 months = [747] Mary Ann b. 1859. Mary A 42 = [217] Mary Ann Jones b. 1818. ⭐ IT ALSO CONFIRMS A READING: the child enumerated 'Parny, 6' in the 1850 household is NANCY - she is 'Nancy C, 16' here. ⭐ AND IT SETTLES THE BIRTHPLACE QUESTION IN THE TREE'S FAVOUR: this census says KENTUCKY, as does 1870. Only 1850 said Tennessee. See his Audited note. ⚠️ [746] Larkin H. b. 1853 would be 7 and is ABSENT. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: he is listed in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census SLAVE SCHEDULES, and a Missouri probate record is indexed for him (he d. 1877).
