Land Record between Samuel Carpenter & his wife Mary Carpenter and Rosel Goff.
Samuel Carpenter sold his farm and moved to Michigan in the early 1800s. He did not appear at the signing and delivery of this deed to the court in Tioga Co. NY.
Mary, his wife and a witness, Nathaniel Seely were there instead. Perhaps an early visit to land bought in Shelby Co. NY kept him away?
Rosel Goff, who purchased the farm from Samuel was the Baptist minister in Tioga County. Joshua, Samuel's father, also sold land to Rosel Goff for the building of his church. It appears that this land sold by Samuel to Rev, Goff and the deed below for the Rev. Goff's church land were written about the same time.
Return to
Land Record between Joshua Carpenter and Rosel Goff for 100 acres. This 100 acres was sold to Rosel Goff so that he could build his Baptist church.
The Date of this will is very important to Carpenter genealogy as it shows that Joshua was still living in 1811. Previous genealogists have given 1791 and 1800 as Joshua's possible date of death. Since Joshua did not have to appear at the recording of the deed we do not yet know if he was still living in 1813.
This Deed Excuted by Joshua Carpenter to Rosel Goff was recorded the 1st. Day of May 1813 at 9:O'clock P M
