Welcome to my Carpenter web pages! I am interested in most of the Carpenter families of Western North Carolina to some extent, but my primary interest is in my own line in Surry, Wilkes, Ashe, Cherokee and Graham Counties. I have three lines back to the same ancestor:

Mathias Carpenter (175?-1835) and Elizabeth Miller of Surry and Ashe Co., NC

- (1) Frances Carpenter (1771-1842) and William Davis of Burke and Yancey Co., NC

- (2) Jacob Carpenter (1779-1856) and Margaret --- of old Burke and Yancey Co., NC

-- David Carpenter (c1806-187?) and --- of Cherokee and Graham Co., NC

--- William Carpenter (1830-1885) and Margaret Davis of Cherokee and Graham Co., NC

---- Sarah Elvira Carpenter (1867-1939) and Thomas J. George of Graham Co., NC

- (3) Margaret Carpenter (1784-1865) and Jonathan Miller of Ashe Co., NC

I am also interested in other Carpenters in the region whether related to me or not (1700s through ca 1860). Check them out on my Documented Family Pages.
