The 1850 Federal Census for District 72 of Pulaski County shows the following persons living in the home of Solomon CARPENTER (misspelled as CAPESTANY): Nancy FRAMER b. TN ca 1821, Lucretia (COLLIER?) CARPENTER b. ca 1826 in AL or TN, Mary COLLIER b. ca 1834 in IL, Catherine COLLIER b. ca 1836 in IL, Davis COLLIER b. ca 1840 IL, and William T COLLIER b. ca 1846 in MO.

My gg-grandfather, Henry HARDESTER (HARDISTER) married Catherine COLLIER, 16 February 1854, in Pulaski County. After her death about 15 February 1856, he married her sister, Mary, about November 1856; she died 15 August 1861.

The marriage and death information comes from the Civil War pension file of my gg-grandfather - in there, Mary and Catherine are referred to as CARPENTER.

I'm trying to clear up these "little" inconsistences, but more so, I would like to know more about this family, as well as how Solomon CARPENTER fits in. The other lady in the household, Nancy FRAMER, is also unknown.

Any information will be welcome, and I have info to share. Thank you!
