BIOGRAPHY: Portrait and biographical record of Rockland and Orange Counties New York, containing Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the Counties (New York and Chicago: Chapman Publishing Co., 1895). p. 870-871 ... John D. Carpenter married Catherine Westfall, daughter of Simon Westfall, of Sparrow Bush. Her grandfather, Simeon Westfall, was a son of Simon Westfall, who owned the old stone house and mill at Carpenter's Point. After his marriage Mr. Carpenter for many years made his home in Carpenter's Point, but the last years of himself and wife were passed in Farley, Dubuque County, Iowa, his two son's having removed to that state. His wife died at the age of Sixty-four, and he survived until in his ninetieth year. In religious belief he was identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church. His two daughters still live at Port Jervis; Margaret, the widow of George Cuddeback, of the town of Deerpark; and Asenath, who became the wife of Nathan Skinner, and is now living with her son, John N. At the age of fourteen years she became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but later she identified herself with the Reformed Church, and to this organization she has since belonged. The wife of John D. Carpenter was of Dutch decent, but the Westfall family was represented in America from an early period of its settlement. The first of the name to come here were two brothers, Julian and Symon, who emigrated from Holland and settled in New York. Julian, Jr., a son of Symon, was the father of Simon, and a son of the latter, Simeon by name, was the father of David. Simon married Jennette Westbrook, April 17, 1743, the ceremony being performed by Justice Peter Kuyckendall. As above stated, the stone house and mill at Carpenter's Point were erected by him. Later they were partially destroyed, but were rebuilt, and the house stood as a residence until about twenty years ago.
