Sarah Carpenter

Notes:

Notes from James Helms Lincoln, quoted from his father, Burr Buchanan Lincoln (grandson of Milton Lincoln).

My father (Burr B. Lincoln) said the Lincolns came from Connecticut. He listed his grandfather, Milton Lincoln, as being born in "Lanesborough." (No state after his name.) There does not appear to be a Lanesborough in Connecticut. There is a "Lanesville" in Connecticut. My father may have been in error on the name of the town. However, Sarah Carpenter, the wife of Milton, is listed as being born in Cheshire, Connecticut, on April 2, 1800. There is a Cheshire, CT. The records there, or in the County Court House, might give the address of Milton, if they were married in Cheshire. There is a good chance that they would have been married in the bride's home.

Notes from LDS library: Sarah Carpenter is listed as a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Ithaca, NY, 1821.

US Federal Census:

1825-- New York, Thompkins County, Groton.
Milton Lincoln is listed as head of the family with wife and one daughter.

1850-- New York, Thompkins County, Groton.
Milton Lincoln, age 54 - farmer; does not list Sarah (his wife).
Six children - Edgar, age 7, is youngest.

Notes from Phi(Lura) Lincoln Cook: Sarah Carpenter was born April 2, 1800, Cheshire, MA.
