Note: This family being of English descent, is not in any way kin to the several French-Canadian people who have settled in the states within the last 40 years, who have illegally changed the spelling of their name from, Charpenter, Charpentier, De Char- pentier, etc., to Carpenter which has always been the form used in the United States by this family.
