6 GGF Elihu CARPENTER (1752-1827)

Elihu CARPNETER memorial located at Newman Cemetery, East Providence, Povidence, RI (11 miles from Rehoboth, Massachusetts)

Elihu CARPENTER
Born: 18 Dec 1752 Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts
Married: 12 Jun 1783 Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts to Martha HUTCHINS (1758-1816) daughter of David HUTCHINS (1720-1794) and Jerusha PIERCE (1730-1798).
Died: 5 Jul 1827 Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts.

Elihu was the son of Eleazer CARPENTER (1704-1781) and Elizabeth WARFIELD (1717-1798).

History: Elihu CARPENTER did not attend school till he was 16 - was very tall - humiliating to have to attend class with small children. But soon mastered all and became a teacher - his success as a teacher very remarkable. It was a credit to a student of the state to say he had obtained his early schooling under Elihu Carpenter.

He also taught singing school, and as the old lady, Mrs. Perry, said in the 92d year of her age, "that he taught singing school for nothing and found candles." He used to sing when about the house and his work. Some one asked his mother one day what made him sing so much, when she replied: "To plague the devil." He sang pious hymns. He was also a deacon of the church.

In the funeral sermon of the Rev. Jacob Ide of Medway, Mass., in referring to his own conversion I find the following paragraph:

"A great change came over my mind - a delight in the services of God. To prepare myself to be useful in the world, became now an object of my most ardent desire. - was greatly encouraged in my purpose by the district school master, Dea. Elihu Carpenter to whom I confess myself under greater obligations than to any other man. The good layman held religious meetings, giving scripture expositions and exhortations. I so admired him as to make him my model of future usefulness. But Dea. Carpenter fired me with higher ambition and molded me to nobler issues. He urged upon me a preparation for the ministry. His words to me were fuel to the fire already kindling in my heart."

Military: Note: He enlisted and served as corporal in the Lexington scare, in Nathaniel Carpenter's (No. 607) Company; served eight days; he enlisted again as Corporal in Nathaniel Carpenter's Company, Col. Cary's Regiment, at New York and White Plains, five months; dismissed Dec 1, 1776; he enlisted again and served as Quartermaster-sergeant in Col. Hathaway's Regiment; April 21, 1777, and served 24 days in Rhode Island; he enlisted again as Sergeant in Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter's Company, in Col. Whitney's Regiment in the Rhode Island Alarm; May 13, 1777, served one month and twenty-five days and marched from Rehoboth to Point Judith.

Elihu and Martha CARPENTER were the parents of eleven children:
1- Oliver CARPENTER (1784-1814)
2- Ira CARPENTER (1786-1831) m. 1816 Elizabeth ABELL
3- Bela CARPENTER (1788-) m. Vesta SMITH
4- Betsy CARPENTER (1788-1862) m. 1809 Amariah RAWSON (1787-1854)
5- Ona CARPENTER (1792-1875) m. 1818 Sally READ
6- Lorring or Loring CARPENTER (1794-) m. 1820 Nancy WOLCOTT
7- Eleazer CARPENTER (1796-1814)
8- Alva CARPENTER (1798-1824)
9- Osmond CARPENTER (1800-1867) m. Clarissa LAKE
10- Jason CARPENTER (1802-Aft 1881) m. 1828 Mercy MERRITT
11- Galen CARPENTER (1804-) m. 1939 Louisa HOWLAND

Elihu's great grandfather William CARPENTER (1631-1703) of Rehoboth was born in England and at 7 years of age came to New England on the Bevis in 1638 with his father William CARPENTER (1605-1697) and grandfather William CARPENTER (1576-Aft 1638).

When the Revolutionary War started in 1775, Uriah was 181/2 years old. in working with old records and Lucretia's pension application, we have concluded he signed up as a Continental soldier in Windham County in a Connecticut Unit on 1 May 1775. His major was John Durkee of Norwich. Uriah's first big battle was Bunker Hill on 17 June 1775, where he served under General Putnam. (Shadrach and Betsey Roundy Their Roots and Their Legacy by Renee Rich Mounteer, p.16)

Grandfather 8th generation: Moses QUIMBY - fought in the famous battle of Bunker Hill, and was wounded there, and later received a pension because of service. Pension was to have started in 1832 and lasted for the last 8 years of his life.

Grandfather 9th generation: Abraham LUCAS - was a Revolutionary War soldier and applied for a pension but not successfully. He had no education, could not read or write and that for this reason was unable to recollect names and dates and was unable to substantiate his service sufficiently to obtain a pension.

Pension application on file in the National Archives:
On the seventh day of March eighteen hundred and thirty six, personally appeared in open court before the county commissioners court in and for the County and State aforesaid, now sitting Abram Lucas of Salt Creek in the County of Sangamon and state aforesaid, aged eighty years, being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed under the following named officers and served as now stated, that during the War of the Revolution (the year he cannot state) he volunteered in the company commanded by Capt. Brinton, which company was attached to the army commanded by General McIntosh., and as he now recollects to the regiment commanded by a son of General McIntosh. In the Red Stone country on the waters of the Monongahela River in the western part of the State of Pennsylvania -- That he was then living on the waters of the Monongahela and he supposed the country was not laid off into counties -- This was in the latter part of the fall or beginning of winter -- After he volunteered they marched and helped build Fort McIntosh on the Little Beaver Creek on the west side of the service aforesaid the orderly sergeant Jonathan Harnett (or Hamett) was removed by Capt. Brinton and his dependent (?) appointed in his stead?

Grandfather 9th generation: Johannes Michael HOBLIT (Habluzel) - served in the Revolutionary War according to several well informed and competent searchers. The fifth series of the Pennsylvania archives gives him as a "Soldier of the Revolution in the Continental Line."
