Dr. Nathaniel Carpenter

1Virginia Historical Magazine, The. Vol 1. Number 1. July 1891, Jefferson Wallace, Richmond, Virginia, pg 12. Copied by Sarah Yeiser Mason Heerman. "(f3) Nathaniel Carpenter, Collector of Customs, and Nancy Fauntleroy, were married in March 1768. In the Richmond Enquirer, May 12, 1840, is an advertisement enquiring for the surviving children (if any) of Dr. Nathaniel Carpenter, late of King and queen county, Virginia, who died April 1778 leaving issue: 1. Coryndon; 2. William Fauntleroy; 3. Nathaniel; 4. Bushrod. It is signed by lawyers in Launceston, Cornwall, England; London and the British consul at York. It appears from a list of members of a volunteer cavalry Company in Gloucester, that Coryndon Carpenter was living in that county about 1800.  In the Gentleman's Magazine for 1796 (page 709) is a notice of the death, on August 12, at the age of twenty-one, of William Fauntleroy Carpenter, son of a Devonshire gentleman, who removed to Essex county, Virginia, where at the time of writing young Mr. Carpenter's mother and three brothers resided, and whence he had recently come to England to receive a fortune bequeathed him many years before by his uncle, Coryndon Carpenter, Esq. of Launceston, Cornwall. He was killed in a duel with Mr. John Pride, aged about twenty-five years, also a native of Virginia. The duel took place in consequence of a conversation at the Virginia Coffee House, in which Carpenter condemned those members of Congress who had opposed the treaty with England, and Pride took the other side. The meeting took place in Hyde Park, at five paces, and Carpenter was shot in the side and died next day. He begged that Pride and the seconds might not be prosecuted, and was, says the magazine, "an uncommonly fine young man." John Pride was probably of Amelia county, and son of John Pride, who was at one time president of the State Senate. Can  anyone inform us what was the result of his trial?."
