Photo shown, now in my possession. The photo on the bottom says, "Yours truly, Isaac N. Carpenter" On the back is stamped Photographed by Tyler, Easton, Pa. In pencil is written "Pappy Carpenter".
Isaac would have been born in Sussex County, New Jersey, Warren County was not created till 1825. The middle initial of N. most likely stands for Nyce, his mother's maiden name but no proof has been found to substantiate it.
Census records lists he was a miller by trade and it appears a very successful one. In the 1870 census, he lists $16,000 as his real estate value, his personal value was listed as $20,000(which would be about $460,000 in today's money.) His will was filed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Shimer, daughter, Sarah Ann, wife of Isaac Riegel, grandson, Charles R. Carpenter, the son of his deceased son, Abraham. He nominated his son, Philip and his two sons-in-law as executor of his will.
