• Notes

  HER SURNAME IS NOT BENNETT OR SEARLES. SOME CONTEMPORARY SOURCES DISPUTE BRIANT/BRYANT. PLEASE READ HUSBAND WILLIAM'S LIFE SKETCH. HER MAIDEN NAME IS BRIANT. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE IT. For more on Abigail's surname, see www.wikitree.com/wiki/Briant-35 She was baptized 27 May 1604 at St.Michael's and All Angels Church, then in the Berkshire section of Shalbourne, England, the daughter of John Briant and Alice ____ Briant. Some older sources give Abigail's maiden name as Bennett or Searles. The first represents unwarranted linkage to a Bennett family of Sway, Hampshire, and the second reflects apparent confusion with the maiden name of William Carpenter Jr's second wife, Miriam Sale(s). She married William Carpenter at St.Michael's and All Angels Church, then in the Berkshire section of Shalbourne, England, on 28 April 1625. The family resided in the Wiltshire section of Shalbourne. She and her husband arrived in New England on the "Bevis" in 1638, settling first at Weymouth, Massachusetts, and then, by 1645, Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. Abigail was buried in the Newman Cemetery in Old Rehoboth (now East Providence, Rhode Island) on 22 February 1687. Their children: John Carpenter, Abigail Carpenter Titus Palmer, William Carpenter, Joseph Carpenter, Samuel Carpenter, Samuel Carpenter, Hannah Carpenter Carpenter, and Abiah Carpenter.
