    • Male data (4 males: 1 under 5; 1 5 up to 10; 1 10 up to 15; and 1 female 40 up to 50) might be stretched to fit family data from other sources however the female data (1 female: 30 up to 40) is too young for wife and too old for any of his daughters.

Children (Carper):—Jacob, Mary, Jenny Draper, William Foster (md. Elizabeth W. Spicer), Susannah Sawyers, and Alexander Sayers (or Sawyers) (md. Elizabeth Towry). (Note: both Jacob Carper (1753) and his brother Nicholas had sons Joseph born in the mid 1780's, and their respective sons Joseph have not been fully proven. However, based on Joseph of Nicholas reportedly still living in 1841 (Dll) and Joseph of Bledsoe Co. naming his eldest two children Jacob and Mary (D7, citing Jean Carper of Orangeville, Cal.), it is concluded that Joseph (1782-1832) must have been the son Joseph of Jacob and Mary.)
