Asa Carpenter (he was 59 years old in the 1855 census) Born in Massachusetts

Betsy, Wife of Asa (she was 58 in the 1855 census) Born in Connecticut

Jerusha Moore, Betsy’s mother (she was 81 in the 1855 census) Born in Connecticut

There as small stones with initials “HG” and “HC”, the Carpenters lived on Gleason Hill from 1850 to 1865
