John Carpenter was born in 1788 at Loyalsock, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.1 He was the son of James Carpenter. John Carpenter married Mary Campbell, age 19, daughter of John Campbell and Elizbeth Stauts, on Tuesday, 4 March 1806 at Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.1 John Carpenter died on 3 July 1865 at Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, at age 77 years.2 He was buried in the Woodward Township Cemetery, located in Woodward Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
He appeared on the census of 22 August 1860 in the household of Jesse Bowman Carpenter and Phoebe Ann Carpenter at Anthony Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
