Their children were: Maria Almira (my g-g-grandmother), Elijah Carpenter, Lydia F. (who died at age 4), Phebe Lovinia (who died at 38) and Jane Frances.

Jeremiah was a mason and his brother James was the contractor to build "The Arcade" in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Jeremiah's son Elijah also worked with them on that job. The Arcade is still there and a great building of 3 floors with all interior balconies overlooking the center of the building. Although it is not in use and the owners are threatening to tear it down (2010).

According to 1860 & 1880 census, Jeremiah was living in Dighton, MA.
