We are researching the following surnames: CARPENTER, CODY, GIBBS,POITINGER, WATSON and many others. Jack's family surnames include Cody, Gibbs, and Poitinger. There is a link between the Cody and Gibbs lines to Buffalo Bill Cody. Jack's gggrandmother was Lucinda Cody Gibbs, as cousin to William Fredrick Cody aka Buffalo Bill Cody.
My family surnames include Carpenter and Watson. Our Carpenter History begins with Lord William Carpenter, born about 1709 in Hampshire, England. After the death of Lord William Carpenter, his three sons immigrated to the Colonies. Our family descends from his son John Carpenter. John Carpenter first lived in Virginia, near the home of Gen. George Washington. He fought with Washington in both the Revolutionary and French and Indian Wars. He later moved with his family to Ohio, being one of its first settlers. The Carpenter Family has a very eventful and interesting history.
If you think you maybe related to any of these famlies, please feel free to contact us. We are still searching and would love to find some new cousins.
