Joyce, as I looked over the above, it made very little sense to me! And I note what I know  to be an error.- Walter Lee Carpenter was my father, Florence Ethyl and Margaret Louise were my Aunts, and their father, my paternal grandfather, was Benjamin F. Carpenter without a doubt. He lived until I was 6 or 7 years
old and I spent many pleasant hours with him, so I'm sure of my facts.I hope this information may be helpful to some researcher,someday. I have nothing more to add.
Best wishes,
Ben Carpenter
