    Other Events:

    • FamilySearch ID: M5Q2-FQL
    • Arrival: 1635, Massachusetts Bay, British Colonial America

    Notes:

    Daughter of William Arnold and Christian Peake Arnold.

    Her memorial in Mineral Spring Cemetery is a cenotaph commemorating her along with her brothers Stephen and Benedict Arnold. (He is not the same Benedict that is known as a traitor of America. Her brother Benedict succeeded Roger Williams, founder of RI, as president of the colony, becoming Govenor in 1644 under the charter granted by King Charles II. Roger Williams' family and Benedict were also related by marriage.)

    The Sep 7,1685 death date on her cenotaphic memorial is actually the date of death of her husband William Carpenter. Neither her death date nor place of burial is known, and she may have outlived her husband, having been named in his will of Feb 10,1679/80. (He wrote a codicil at the death of his son in 1683/4, so lack of a further codicil suggests the possibility she may have outlived him.) She and her husband were almost certainly buried on their homestead, located in present-day Cranston,RI.

    Children: Joseph Carpenter, Lydia Carpenter Smith, Ephraim Carpenter, Priscilla Carpenter Vincent, William Carpenter, Timothy Carpenter, Silas Carpenter, and Benjamin Carpenter.

    Notes:

    William Arnold (24 June 1587 ? c. 1676) was one of the founding settlers of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and he and his sons were among the wealthiest people in the colony. He was raised and educated in England where he was the warden of St. Mary's, the parish church of Ilchester in southeastern Somerset. He immigrated to New England with family and associates in 1635. He initially settled in Hingham in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but he soon relocated to the new settlement of Providence Plantation with Roger Williams. He was one of the 13 original proprietors of Providence, appearing on the deed signed by Roger Williams in 1638, and was one of the 12 founding members of the first Baptist church to be established in America.
    After living in Providence for about two years, Arnold moved with his family and others to the north side of the Pawtuxet River forming a settlement commonly called Pawtuxet, later a part of Cranston, Rhode Island. He and his fellow settlers had serious disputes with their Warwick neighbors on the south side of the river and, as a result, separated themselves from the Providence government, putting themselves under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This separation from Providence lasted for 16 years, and Arnold was appointed to keep the peace as the head of the settlement. He died sometime during the great turmoil of King Philip's War in 1675 or 1676. His son Benedict succeeded Roger Williams as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in 1657, and he became the first Governor of the colony under the royal charter of 1663.
