Royal Carpenter was one of five children born to Reuben Carpenter and Anna (Stacey) Carpenter, in Vermont. The Carpenter family left Vermont for Franklin Co. Ohio around 1805.

Royal married Roxena "Rosey" Thompson in Franklin Co. Ohio on 27 Dec 1819. They had two children before she died - Charles born 1820, and Minerva, born 1822.

Royal married Temperance Ayers in Franklin County, Ohio in 1833. Their six children are: Leander, Gustavus, Mary, Alonzo, Rebecca and Royal Jr.

Royal and Temperance and family left Ohio for Wisconsin in 1846. They also spent some time in Texas, where Royal's nephew resided. A brother may possibly have been in Texas. Royal Carpenter loved to travel, and went to many areas in the south. He would sell some of his Wisconsin land to pay for his trips, and roamed through the southern states. He always returned to Lafayette County, Wisconsin, where he had purchased his farmland and engaged in farming and building. Royal and Temperance raised their family on this farmland in the Darlington area. Royal died in 1880 and the family remained in the Darlington area for many years.

I would love further information on Royal's daughter Minerva. Please contact me if you have further info. Thanks!
