Information from John Carpenter:James Tucker CARPENTER had at the time of his death, 5 farms of varying size totalling about 1,000 acres. Under the terms of his will, of which William Baker CARPENTER was one of the executors, he left one of the farms to two of his grandsons, Great Bradley to WBC, and various other bequests to his sisters, etc. The impression given by Alfred Money CARPENTER was that, to meet the terms of the will, WBC had to sell Gt. Bradley...
