Margo, I can't do much right now but I will see what info I have might help you. A Carpenter went to the area of Hannibal and Louisiana Missouri and years ago I was aware that a father and his son had been the Sheriffs of the county there for many years. Lost touch as I have lived in the Southwest since the early '50's. I will get back to it and let you know. I think your great grand father was in Missouri about the time that part of the family left Indianapolis and moved West. One clue is I remember one of my grand uncles was six foot six or more as were several other men in the family. My grand father was closer to six foot but the very tall men are common in the family. Good Luck, Jack (John)
