General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah Murry Carpenter

---

He was a teacher in his earlier years, then became a farmer and surveyor, and was also a scrivener or drawer of contracts. In political matters he was a Democrat, served many years as justice of the peace, and was a member of the militia. He was a staunch adherent of the Presbyterian faith, and was one of the ruling elders of the old Plum Creek Presbyterian Church.

He received his education at Murrysville, Pennsylvania, and spent his youth there until he was seventeen years of age. He then went to Ohio, where he after-ward engaged in the mercantile business, and also at Murrysville in the same business, until 1852, at which time he moved to his mother's farm, in Plum township, Allegheny County, where he remained.
