    I did not personally know Sophia, but our mothers were 1st cousins. My mother, Evelyne Wylie Morris just passed away in September 2017. I have been working on our family genealogy for years and mother and I were just going over her cousins a few months ago when she asked if I had ever found information on Annie or Sophie. Mother remembered that Benjamin Stapleton Carpenter and my grandmother Kathryn Carpenter were close as brother and sister despite the number
