WILLIAM H. CARPENTER was born in Boone County, Ky., July 30, 1815.  He is
a son of William and Polly (Aylor) Carpenter, both natives of Virginia.
William Carpenter was a prominent southern minister.  He came to Kentucky
in about 1812, and settled in Boone County, near where our subject now
resides; he died February 18, 1833, and his wife in 1835.  William H.
Carpenter was brought up on the farm, and received a common-school
education.  He has followed farming from boyhood.  In about 1863 he built
his present residence, where he has 312 acres of land; he has another fine
farm in Boone County, near Florence, of 115 acres, and also owns a farm in
Kenton County.  January 26, 1843, he married Emily A. Wilson, who was born
August 18, 1821, a daughter of Aquila Wilson, of Kenton County.  To this
union four children have been born: Columbus C., Hattie, Butler and
William Perry.  Hattie is dead.  The family are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
