Cyrus' father Benjamin had already moved "west" before heading to Vermont. Thus, Cyrus was born in Killingly, Windham Co., Connecticut (NOT Killingly, Windham Co., Rhode Island). [This info came from my genealogist aunt who got this information from her great uncle who had already had first hand information and done extensive research earlier and shared with her. Folks who are researching the Carpenters need to review recent TAG articles (within the past 10 years) on some errors in the early Carpenter family.]

1) Elizabeth "Betsey" BARNEY on 10 May 1792 in Guilford, Windham Co., VT.
