Sixth Generation


66. Carpenter Winslow was born on Jan 3, 1793 in Pittston, Lincoln(now Kennebec), Maine, died on Dec 20, 1875 in Benezette, Elk Co., PA, and was buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery, Winslow Hill , Benezette, PA.

General Notes: Carpenter and Beulah had 10 boys and 4 girls. They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA in 1821. They lived one year there, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they moved to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven ( a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream. Carpenter chose a small farm about a quarter mile east of Benezette. Carpenter had a son George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Carpenter raised his family on a 600 acre farm in Benezette. The cemetery on Winslow Hill is a part of this farm. Winslow Hill is the most scenic spot in the Benezette area because of the view from the top of the hill. In approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.

He was elected supervisor in the first Benezette Township elections of 1846. In 1844 was listed a resident taxpayer of Jay township along with Reuben , E.C. and Charles Winslow. Carpenter and Beulah lived with son George during the latter years of their life.

General Notes: Reuben Colburn Winslow came to Benezette with his brothers- Carpenter and Ebenezer, – ( brother James and Joseph stayed in the Punxsutawney area) before 1830 and is considered the official founder of the Town and Township of Benezette. He became an extensive landowner by purchasing several hundred acres of land in and near Benezette- located from Spring and Trout Runs to Austern’s and Dent’s Runs.

Reuben and his brothers operated their lumbering business along the Bennett’s Branch lands.

The coal veins – called the Winslow Colliery- in this area were among the first and the best. He was also a prominent merchant and one of Elk County’s first commissioners in 1843. On April 26, 1871 Reuben C Winslow was killed in a train wreck near Cook’s Run between Philadelphia and Benezette. Being on business for his railroad- the Winslow Colliery Railroad- at the time, he was the first one to be rescued. However realizing himself he was too badly wounded he told the rescuers to try and instead save the lives of the other passengers. Benezette’s first election was held in February 1846. E. E. Winslow was chosen Justice, Carpenter Winslow as Supervisor; R. C. Winslow as school director; Charles Winslow as fence viewer. The first coal veins that were worked were the Winslow’s at the location where Spring Run empties into Trout Run. In 1870 one of Benezette’s lumberman was D. B. Winslow. Also in 1870 the “Winslow” hotel was in business. The best known farming area early in Benezette was Winslow Hill.

Excerpts from the Winslow Colliery Railroad by Samuel King

The story of the Winslow Colliery Railroad which was intended as a link in a transcontinental system by English capitalists is a fascinating chapter in the history of this region. The story was originally by Herman MacMinn whose father was chief engineer of the ill -started project.

The Winslow family originally came to Pennsylvania at an early date from the state of Maine. Of the four brothers James settled near Punxsutawney and Carpenter, Ebenezer, and Reuben came to Bennett’s Valley before 1830. Carpenter choose a small farm about a quarter mile ease of Benezette, Reuben became the founder of the community of Benezette, and Ebenezer lived a mile west where Julius Jones later did. Carpenter had a son named George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Eben and his family went west in 1858.

Reuben became an extensive landowner, and the Pennsylvania Archives list purchases made by him and his brother Eben as early as 1833 and 1837. Shortly after these dates, surveys were made up the Bennett’s Branch and Trout Run for the Sunbury and Eric Railroad. Again in 1855 a second survey was made, and Reuben Winslow had high expectations that his coal and timber would soon have a way to reach urban markets. To his disappointment , the railroad was built up Driftwood Branch to Emporium. His first thought was to build a sixteen mile spur to the Philadelphia and Eric (as the railroad was now called) at Driftwood. With the legal assistance of his son-in-law, Rush Petrikin, an attorney at Bellefonte and perhaps the only graduate of West Point from Benezette Township. Winslow applied in 1862 to the legislature for a charter. Under the provisions of this incorporation , the Winslow Colliery Railroad was capitalized at $200,000. Before work could begin on construction, however, other events altered the original purpose of this project.

They both appear in the 1860 Michigan Census in Blissfield, Lenawee Co., MI along with their daughter Ida Alma Winslow age 4. Shortly after 1860, Ebenezer C. Winslow and Laura Thayer Winslow moved to Coleta, Whiteside Co., IL. There is an old tombstone inscription that is impossible to make out due to wear today, but earlier listings have a transcription of “Eva Winslow d. July 18, 1858. This is most probably a very worn tombstone for Eben Winslow . The date was probably worn when the transcription was done. It probably should be July 18, 1863 or July 18, 1868. Laura Thayer Winslow (widow) marries James Hannah on September 8, 1868 in Whiteside, IL. 1880 Whiteside Co, IL census shows James Hannah, Laura Winslow Hannah, and Ida Winslow. By 1880 Laura (Thayer) Winslow Hannah is widowed and living with here son-in-law George Lawrence and daughter Ida Winslow Lawrence. No sign of Laura (Thayer) Winslow Hannah after that. George Lawrence can be found in the 1900 South Dakota Census as a widower meaning that Ida Winslow Lawrence has died by this time.

Carpenter Winslow died in November, 1827, his wife surviving him about eighteen years. Both are buried in the cemetery near Punxsutawney. Only two of his sons, James and Joseph W., father of R. C. Winslow, still survive. The rest have all passed away, leaving however, a large posterity, who are among the most prominent and best citizens of Jefferson and Elk counties. Joseph W. Winslow the youngest son of Carpenter Winslow, was born at Wiscasset, Me., December 10, 1804, and in 1832 married Christena Long, youngest daughter of Joseph Long, of Punxsutawney. Their family consisted of eleven children, four sons and seven daughters, who were all born at the old homestead, and who all survive, except a son and daughter who died in infancy. Mr. Winslow has resided on his farm for almost seventy years, and is now one of the patriarchs of the county. Two of his sons, Augustus G. and Joseph Clark Winslow, reside with their venerable parent at the homestead.

General Notes: He died in New York on his return from visiting his son in California.

Choosing a seafaring life as a profession, he soon rose to the command of a vessel, sailing out of Boston many years in the European and China trades. His last command was the ship Levant, owned by Messrs. James and Thomas- II. Perkins, stationed at Luton, China, where he remained some three years, retiring in 1830, when he settled in Maiden, now Everett, Mass. In 1819, while crossing the Atlantic, he sighted and defined the position of a rock that had been considered doubtful.

In Malden, Mr. Winslow soon became identified with the interests of the town, but invariably declined public office. He was, however, induced to accept the appointment from Governor Briggs as state commissioner under an act incorporating the proprietors of Maiden bridge. A brief extract from an article written by his minister, Rev. John G. Adams, will convoy to the readers the esteem in which he was held by the town of his adoption.

“Nine mouths ago our friend left his home for California, taken there by business and a desire to meet his only son, who had been absent from home some years, and who had crossed the Pacific from China to take up his residence in the new land of success and failure. His death is an affliction to us all: to the town, to the neighborhood in which he lived, to our church, to his dear family, and to many other families and friends. He had resided here more than twenty years. He was one of our most efficient citizens. His retiring from business was not retiring from active life. He was still the busy man, taking care of what he had accumulated, and doing good with it. His generous-heartedness was proverbial. On many an occasion has it been evidenced to his credit, and to the credit of us all. His good taste, his love of order, his prudence as well as liberality in expenditure, his integrity and honesty, are all but so many other commendations of his character as a public citizen. In these respects he has left the good impression of himself in many ways, in many a mind. He was one of the most able, faithful, and steadfast friends of our society.

“There are those here who have known him longer than myself, who, when aid has been most needed in times of past trial and exertion, have known most his liberality. It was constant and unchanging. His friendships were many and highly valued. Fresh and fragrant will be the remembrance of him in many hearts.”

He married in Maiden, Mass., 13 Feb. 1821, Elizabeth Reid, b. 13 July 1799, Boston, who removed to Maiden in her first year.

General Notes: Carpenter and Beulah had 10 boys and 4 girls. They were early pioneers to Elk County. Natives of Maine, they came to Clearfield County, PA in 1821. They lived one year there, then went to Punxsutawney, PA until 1828, when they moved to Benezette Township, Elk County. They apparently endured many hardships incident to pioneer life, bringing all their provisions in a canoe from Lock Haven ( a distance of 75 miles), taking two and a half days to push the canoe up the stream. Carpenter chose a small farm about a quarter mile east of Benezette. Carpenter had a son George who gave his name to Winslow Hill before he died in 1905. Carpenter raised his family on a 600 acre farm in Benezette. The cemetery on Winslow Hill is a part of this farm. Winslow Hill is the most scenic spot in the Benezette area because of the view from the top of the hill. In approximately 1818, Carpenter and Elizabeth Colburn Winslow and their extended families traveled from Maine on the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay; to the Susquehanna River; and following the West Branch of the Susquehanna arrived in Clearfield, PA. Here Carpenter built a bridge across the Susquehanna, and after a short time, the families moved overland to Gaskill Township, just outside Punxsutawney, PA, where they established a homestead. In 1828, Carpenter Winslow, Jr. and his wife, Beulah Keene Winslow, along with his brothers, Reuben and Ebenezer Winslow, moved on to what is now Winslow Hill in Benezette, Elk County, PA.

He was elected supervisor in the first Benezette Township elections of 1846. In 1844 was listed a resident taxpayer of Jay township along with Reuben , E.C. and Charles Winslow. Carpenter and Beulah lived with son George during the latter years of their life.
