William Carpenter and Elizabeth Wilson of Burke, Yancey, Mitchell and Avery Co, NC

William was apparently home with his parents for the 1810, 1820 and 1830 census in Burke County.

William Carpenter married Elizabeth Wilson on 15 Nov 1831 in Burke (later Yancey) Co, NC. I'm not sure where I got this marriage date. I'm sure it was shared by another researcher, but I didn't document it for some reason. I don't know what proof there is that Elizabeth was a Wilson, but many researchers list her that way, and as a child of William Wilson and wife Elizabeth ---. I have not attempted to prove her parents. However, Jacob Carpenter reported the death of "Elizabeth Wilison" age 82 on Oct 20, 1842. He stated she was his grandmother, and "Wm Wilison" age 86 on July 30 1847 as his grandfather. He was but a small child when they died, and undoubtedly wrote this much later, but it seems likely he would have gotten their names right, and death dates right, though possibly not their ages.

Regarding the Wilson family, they were quite numerous in old Burke and Yancey County. In 1790, there was Edward, Ezekiel, George, Ginral (General?), Greenberry, 106-110, James, James, James, John, John, John, John Jr, Michal, Samuel, Thomas, and William. This is quite a few there early on. Though only one William Wilson was listed. This might be too early for this to be Elizabeth's father, assuming the information about her father being named William is correct.

In 1800 Burke, the Wilsons were just as numerous, including William Wilson (1774/84), with wife (1755/74), 2 daughters 10-15 (1784/90), and 1 son under 10 (1790/1800).

In 1810 Burke, there were still quite a few Wilson families (and "Willson") in Burke County, including one William Willson. This William was born ca 1765/84, and wife in the younger category (1784/94). He had three girls under 10, (1800/10), which could include daughter Elizabeth (c1803), if this is her family.

In 1820 Burke, there were again several Wilson families, including three Williams. The first, William (1794/1804) seem to be a newlywed, with a wife his same age, and no children. He did seem to be in the Three Mile Creek area. The next one, William (1775/94) had a large family, and seem to be in the area that later became McDowell County. He had one daughter, age 10-15 (1804/10), which doesn't quite fit for Elizabeth (c1803), but could be anyway. The last one was listed as William Wilson Esq (Esquire, probably meaning he was a Justice of the Peace, or a Constable). He was born 1775/94, and had no apparent wife, unless she was the oldest of three girls, one under 10 (1810/20), one 10-15 (1804/10) and one 16-25 (1794/1804). My belief, is that this oldest girl was our Elizabeth Wilson (c1803), and that this William's wife must have died between 1810 and 1820. This all depends on William actually being Elizabeth's father, for which I have no proof.

In 1830 Burke, there were numerous Wilson families still, including two Williams. The first one was born ca 1780/90, with wife, or mother (1760/70) with him. He had no other females in his household, so this doesn't seem to be ours. The other William, listed as William "Sr" was obviously the same one from 1820 who appeared to be widowed then. In 1830 he was age 60-69, born ca 1760/70, with one female age 15-19 (1810/15), and one male the same age.

The above shows that although this elder William Wilson (1760/70) did have a daughter, approximately Elizabeth's age (c1803), she was not still with him in 1830. Since she didn't marry William Carpenter until 1831, this is suspicious. Though at her age, she certainly could have been residing with a married sibling somewhere. Was she not the daughter of "William and Elizabeth Wilson" as other researchers show? "Uncle Jake" Carpenter stated in his Diary that Elizabeth Wilson died 1842, and she was his grandmother, and that William Wilson died in 1847 and was his grandfather. However, it has been difficult to reconcile this with census records. Though it certainly can be correct.

In 1840 Yancey, there were four William Wilson's listed, including William Sr age 50-59 (c1780/90) wife wife the same age, and a William (1800/10), and a William (1790/1800) and a William A. Wilson (1810/20). Of these, only William Sr even comes close in age to be the father of Elizabeth. Of course, Elizabeth was married by 1840, so no longer with her parents.

Checking all other Wilsons in 1830 Burke, I find only a couple with a girl Elizabeth's age. She would have still been single, presumably at home, and been approximately 27 years old, so in the 20-29 age group. James Wilson (c1760/70) had one apparent daughter this age. Robert Wilson (1780/90) had one apparent daughter this age. Thomas Wilson (1790/1800) had someone her age, but it was probably his own wife instead. John Wilson (1790/1800) had someone her age, but probably his own spouse. Robert Wilson (1790/1800) had someone her age, but probably his own spouse. Joseph Wilson (1790/1800) had someone her age, but probably his own spouse. Jesse Wilson Sr (1780/90) had an apparent daughter her age with him. Samuel Wilson (1800/10) had someone her age, but probably his own spouse. James Wilson (1810/15) had someone her age, but probably his own spouse.

Disregarding other evidence, the 1830 census only shows James Wilson (1760/70), Robert Wilson (1780/90), and Jesse Wilson Sr (1780/90) as prime candidates to be Elizabeth's father. This ignores the fact that Elizabeth could easily have been away from home then.

Anyway, I'll leave Elizabeth as a child of William (d 1847) and Elizabeth (d 1842) until other evidence confirms, or refutes this. Now back to the Carpenter family study.

On 28 Dec 1836, William Carpenter received a State land grant for 50 acres in Yancey County on North East side of Doe Hill adjoining Jacob Carpenter (his father) and William C. Carpenter (himself? Or someone else?). (Yancey Co, NC Deed Book 1 page 196 from "Index and Abstract of Deeds of Yancey Co., NC Deed Book 1" by Sally Williams, 1985).

William Carpenter was listed on the 1840 census in Yancey County not too far from his brother David and not too far from his father Jacob.

William Carpenter was listed on the 1840 tax list in Yancey County in Captain Vance's Company. He was taxed for 250 acres, valued at $125, and he had one white poll (himself), and his tax was $2.12 1/2. (Toe Valley Genealogical Society Newsletter, Volume 5, Number 8, October 1993, 1840 Yancey County Tax List, Capt Vance's Company by Kathy Sullivan)

William's 250 acres (as of 1840) is not all accounted for. I found a 50 acre land grant to him in 1836, but no other records (so far). That leaves 200 more acres yet unaccounted for.

William Carpenter was listed on the 1841 tax list in Yancey County in Captain Swan's Company. He was taxed for 250 acres (same as in 1840), valued at $150, and he had one white poll (himself). (Toe Valley Genealogical Society Newsletter, Volume 5, Number 9, November 1993, 1841 Yancey County Tax List, Capt Swan's Company by Kathy Sullivan)

In the Spring 1848 term of Yancey County Court, the Valuations of Yancey County lands were all reduced by 33 1/3 cent per acre. William Carpenter was listed in North Toe River District with his land of $300 reduced to $200. (Toe Valley Genealogical Society Newsletter, Volume 2, Number 6, August 1990, "Yancey County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions Minutes to Spring Term 1848" extracted by Rhonda Gunter)

William was named as a son in his father Jacob's Will of 8 Sep 1849 in Yancey County.

For the 1850 census, William and family were listed just three houses from his parents, and near several siblings.

William and family were still in Yancey for the 1860 census, listed next to his brother Levi and two houses from his widowed mother.

In 1861, the area of Yancey County where the Carpenters lived was cut off to form Mitchell County.

William and family were listed on the 1870 census in Mitchell County, NC. They were listed next to Catherine, widow of William's brother Levi Carpenter.

William and Elizabeth were listed on the 1880 census in Mitchell County, in the household of their daughter Matilda and son-in-law David Franklin.

William Carpenter died in Mitchell County on 15 Nov 1881. His son Jacob wrote of his death in his "Anthology of Death":

Elizabeth Wilson Carpenter died in Mitchell County on 21 Jul 1886. For some reason, her son Jacob didn't mention her death.

Children

William and Elizabeth Wilson Carpenter had nine children as proven by the 1850 through 1880 census records.

Jacob Carpenter was born 4 Jan 1833 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

Jacob was known in his later years as "Uncle Jake" and is most famous for his diary, recording he deaths of his relatives and other neighbors, now referred to as "Uncle Jake Carpenter's Anthology of Death on Three Mile Creek", or just as his "Anthology of Death".

Jacob was apparently home with his parents for the 1840 census, and was with them in 1850 in Yancey Co, NC.

Jacob married Evaline Pyatte in Yancey Co, NC on 15 Mar 1855. She was a child of Joseph Pyatte Jr and Jean Brooks. Evaline's brother Leander Pyatte was married to Frances Matilda Carpenter, Jacob's Aunt.

Jacob and family were listed on the 1860 census in Yancey County, NC between his cousin Alfred Carpenter and his grandmother Margaret, widow of Jacob Sr. Jacob's parents were just three houses away.

In 1861, Mitchell County was formed from part of Yancey, including the Three Mile Creek area.

Jacob and family were listed on the 1870 census in Mitchell County, in Toe River Township, just two houses from his parents.

Jacob and family were still in Toe River Township in Mitchell for the 1880 census, just a few houses from his parents.

Jacob Carpenter died in Avery County, NC on 10 Mar 1920. Evaline Pyatte Carpenter died there on 7 Jan 1926. I don't know where they are buried.

Alexander L. Carpenter was born 5 Nov 1834 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911). I don't know who Alexander might have been named for, nor what his middle initial of "L" stands for.

Alexander was apparently home with his parents for the 1840 census, and with them in 1850.

Alexander Carpenter married Kesiah Vance on 2 Apr 1857 in Watauga Co, NC. She was a daughter of Flemming and Ellender Vance.

Alexander and family were in Mitchell County for the 1870 census, listed next to his parents.

Alexander and family were still in Mitchell for the 1880 census, just a few houses from his parents.

William N. Carpenter was born ca 1835/36 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

William was apparently with his parents for the 1840 census, and was with them in 1850.

William married Mary Wise on 1 Apr 1862 in Mitchell Co, NC. However, this date seems to contradict the fact that they already appeared to be married, and together on the 1860 census. It is possible that he was married to another woman named Mary, prior to Mary Wise. She was listed as "Mrs" on the marriage record, possibly indicating she was widowed from a Mr. Wise.

There was a curious marriage record in Burke County in 1860. On 6 Mar 1860, a "William Carpenter" obtained a marriage bond in Burke County to marry "Lousind Stamy". That is probably a badly misspelled "Lucinda", or possibly "Louisa". If her name was also "Mary", then that may be who is with William on the 1860 census. They did appear to be newlyweds, and to add to this, William's sister Sophia Carpenter married George Stamey in 1859 Yancey County. This could be a case of two siblings marrying two other siblings.

Regarding the Stamy / Stamey family, there were none in Yancey County in 1850, but the closest was in neighboring Caldwell County and several in neighboring Burke. None of those had a daughter "Mary" or "Lucinda" or anything close. Nor a son George. The next nearest ones were in Lincoln and Haywood County. None of those matched up either.

William and Mary were listed on the 1860 census in Yancey County, next to his parents.

Assuming that "Mary" of 1860 is a different person than "Mrs. Mary Wise" who William married in 1862, then that means the first Mary died before 1862.

Mary Wise Carpenter also apparently died in the 1860's in Mitchell County. I'm not at all sure if I have the spouses sorted out properly or not, so keep that in mind. One of the Mary's (assuming they are different people) was the mother of Thomas Carpenter, born ca 1862.

William was back home with his parents for the 1870 census. He had his young son Thomas living with him.

William apparently married his cousin Margaret Elizabeth Carpenter in the 1870/73 timeframe. She was a child of Samuel Carpenter. She was listed on the 1870 census with two children, and it seems like she was a widow, or perhaps single mother, since her kids were listed as "Carpenter" in 1870.

Levi Turner Carpenter was born ca 1839/40 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

Levi was apparently home with his parents for the 1840 census, and was with them in 1850 and 1860.

Levi served in Civil War for the Confederacy and was killed 5 Nov 1861. This death date was reported in the Civil War records, however, his brother Jacob recorded it as 10 Nov 1862:

Sophia L. Carpenter was born 19 Feb 1843 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

She married George H. Stamey on 1 Dec 1859 in Yancey Co, NC. See William Carpenter above for a discussion of the Stamey family.

Joseph L. Carpenter was born ca 1845/46 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

Joseph served in Civil War for the Confederacy and was killed 18 Aug 1862. His brother Jacob recorded his death as well:

Lydia E. Carpenter was born 25 Feb 1848 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911).

Lydia married Emsley Isaacs Jr on 10 Apr 1869 in Mitchell Co, NC. Their marriage record showed "Emsley Isaacs" son of "Emsley Isaacs and Jane Davis", and "Lydie Carpenter" daughter of "Wm and Betsy Carpenter". They were married by L. Buchanan, MG. (Toe Valley Genealogical Society Newsletter, Volume 2, Number 3, May 1990, "Mitchell County Marriage Records 1865-1889" extracted by Rhonda Gunter)

Nancy Matilda Carpenter was born 29 Oct 1851 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911). She was a twin sister to Elizabeth Carpenter.

Nancy married David S. Franklin in Mitchell County, on 10 Nov 1870. Their marriage record gave them as "David S. Franklin" and "Nancy Carpenter", married by Thomas D. Vance. (Toe Valley Genealogical Society Newsletter, Volume 4, Number 7, September 1992, "Mitchell County Marriage Records 1861-1902" extracted by Rhonda Gunter)

They were listed on the 1880 census in Mitchell, with Nancy's parents residing with them.

Elizabeth Carpenter was born 29 Oct 1851 in Yancey Co, NC in the area that later became Mitchell County (in 1861) and finally Avery County (in 1911). She was a twin sister to Nancy Matilda Carpenter.
