General Notes: Husband - Emanuel Carpenter

---

He became prominent in the history of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and at the time of his death was one of the justices of the Court of Common Pleas.

The pioneer settler of the northwestern part of Upper Leacock township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, -that bordering on the Conestoga- was the celebrated Emanuel Carpenter, who ventured from Lampeter Square when quite young. In 1747 he was appointed overseer of the poor, and held that position (no lucrative one) for a number of years. In 1756 he was elected to the Assembly, and was annually re-elected until 1772, when his health failed him, and he died in the year 1780. His remains repose in Carpenter's graveyard, along the Newport road, where a suitable monument many years afterwards was erected to his memory by his great-grandson, Mr. Reigart. [HLC 1883, 924]
