Carpenter Genealogy - Telfair County Georgia

Carpenter Family, Telfair County Georgia
(click to enarge)

We think our Carpenter branch followed the Dodge Timber Company to Telfair County, Georgia perhaps from the Carolinas. According to David Delacy Carpenter Jr., there is a book (maybe the "Dodge Timber Book") that has some details. There is also a 1982 book entitled "Carpenters Aplenty" by Robert Carpenter that may have some leads but I emailed Robert and he looked and did not find any links to us.
