"Judith Horton died 26 JAN 1755. John was of Beekman and Crum Elbow, at least for a time, as is proved by Bible records in Revolution Pension Request R-1716 and W-18877. He was taxed as 'farm' in Beekman from Feb. 1761 through June the same year, after which he was taxed in Crum Elbow fron Feb. 1762 through Feb. 1763. His son Barnard stated in his pension application that he was born DEC 1756 in Nine Partners, indicating that John was here before 1762. Saratoga County NY surrogate records show that his will was dated 25 JAN 1804 and proved 13 MAR 1804. He mentioned a wife Ann which would indicate a 3rd marriage. He gave sons David, Barnard, Thomas, Benjamin and John $100 each and to children of daughter Sarah Robins, dec'd, $50. He gave to daughter Judith Weed $50; to daughter Ruinah Williams $10 and to her daughter Elizabeth Foster $40. To daughter Ruth Olney $50. Reuben Weed Jr. was executor. Data from Rev. Pens. R-1716."

Died young.

"Barnard was born on 21 DEC 1757 in Nine Partners, Dutchess Co., NY. Barnard was married (1) Jane Avery (probably the daughter of Nehemiah Avery, Jr. of Beekman and Nine Partners) on 30 NOV 1784. Jane Avery was born on 17 APR 1765 and died 29 JUL 1787 after having one child. Barnard Carpenter was married (2) by Rev. B. Kelley, Phebe Avery (sister of Jane Avery) on 6 MAR 1788 at Saratoga, Saratoga Co., NY. Phebe was born 29 NOV 1770. Barnard enlisted in the Revolution from Nine Partners and after the war lived in Saratoga, then in 1788 removed to Florida, Montgomery Co., NY. Barnard Carpenter was in Mohawk Town in Montgomery Co., NY in 1790 and was next to Thomas Carpenter and Andrew Kacky. An Augustus Carpenter was close by. Barnard Carpenter was noted in Saratoga Co. wills. Barnard finally settled in Booneville, Oneida Co., NY in 1832 where he died 8 MAY 1834. He was pensioned at $80 per annum and a further pension to his widow was denied because her husband had drawn $80 for three years which was the limit. His widow Phebe stated that her mother's name was also Phebe. The bible record with the pension claim notes a Mary Avery born 13 DEC 1729 whom we have assumed to be her aunt. Children: Rhoda, Jane, Nehemiah, Miranda, Esther, George, Benjamin, Phebe and Hannah."
