Search revisited! Frank Carpenter was Levi Frank Carpenter born 10 Apr 1867 in Morgan, KY to Levi Bonaparte Carpenter (4 Jun 1843 - 14 Aug 1912) and Sarah Ann (nee: Goodpaster) Carpenter (21 Mar 1841 - 1918). The parents wed 17 Jun 1863 in Morgan, KY and died in Oklahoma. Levi Frank Carpenter married, first, Martha J. McGuire 27 Oct 1885 in Morgan, KY. Their union produced Luther Woodson Carpenter (4 Mar 1889 - 21 Jul 1963) in Morgan, KY. Supposedly, Martha died 23 Jul 1892 and Levi Frank remarried to Margaret Goodpaster. The aforementioned events took place in Kentucky. At some point, ca. 1893-1900, Levi Frank and Margaret Carpenter relocated/visited Texas. Levi Frank's parents/siblings found 1900 TX-Liberty-Precinct 4-District 0038-Image 9. The comments about residency in Houston, TX are probably valid? The City of Houston is part of Harris County. Liberty County abuts the eastern boundary of Harris County. Luther Woodson Carpenter found with his grandparents/aunt/uncles in 1900 Liberty. That's reason to believe his father was no longer among the living. Luther's half-siblings found with their maternal grandparents in Kentucky. No idea of Luther's age when he visited his half-brother in Kentucky but he settled in Mitchell County, TX for 1910 census and duration of his life. http://texas.hometownlocator.com/maps/statecountymap.cfm
