    Notes:

    There is another Richard Carpenter married to another Susanna Trevilian, and the moderators of those pages insist that none of their kids moved to America. The child of THIS Richard and Susanna (Olive Carpenter-Starkweather) was thought to have moved to America, but the Starkweather family records say that Richard and Susanna's grandson Robert Starkweather traveled to America alone. A mystery..........

Alice (daughter of Thomas KNIGHT and Katheryn HOBCROFT) was born on 8 Oct 1583 in Wiltshire, England; was christened on 8 Oct 1583 in South Bersted, Sussex, England; died in 1607 in Wiltshire, England.

    JOSEPH2 CARPENTER (William1 of Providence) was born about 1638 (aged 26 in 1664), probably at Providence Plantation (not 1635, in England), and died intestate between 15 or 17 February 1682[/3] and 15 March 1683/4 at Musketa Cove (then a plantation in Oyster Bay Township; now the town of Glen Cove, Nassau County), Long Island, Province of New York. He married first, probably at Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, ca. 1658 (not on 21 April 1659), HANNAH3 CARPENTER, born at Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, on 3 2nd month [April] 1640 and died not long before 8 June 1673, probably at Musketa Cove, daughter of William2 and Abigail (Briant) Carpenter of Rehoboth. Joseph married second, probably at Oyster Bay, by 2 September 1674, ANN WEEKES, baptized at New Amsterdam (now New York City), Colony of New Netherland, on 9 July 1651 and died at Musketa Cove after 24 4th month [June] 1713 (perhaps by 12 6th month [August] 1713), daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (______) Weekes of Salem and Dorchester, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; New Amsterdam; Gravesend, Long Island; and Oyster Bay (NEHGR 159:64n47, 67-68; PrTR 6:138, 141, 144, 147-48; PubRIHS 4:197; TAG 70:201, 204; RILE 1:47, 50-51; NYChR 29; WMM-MM A:24; FMM-VR 78; OBTR 1:99, 411-12, 640-41, 642-44, 2:702; see also BIRTH, DEATH, MARRIAGES, and COMMENTS sections, below; Hannah3 notes, DEATH and COMMENTS). [While the foregoing genealogical data is presented in _Register_ style, the embedding, grouping, and severe abbreviating of source citations are conveniences that depart from it. Sources are cited in full in KEY TO SOURCES, at the end of these notes. The format below is patterned loosely after that used by Robert Charles Anderson in his _Great Migration_ series.]

    BIRTH: On 3 May 1656, Joseph2 Carpenter witnessed a deed of Pawtuxet (Providence) land from his maternal uncle Stephen Arnold to Joseph's father, William1 Carpenter (PrTR 1:44-45). It has been supposed that Joseph was then an adult and thus was born about 1635, prior to his parents' emigration from England (see, for example, Carpenter [1901] 8-9, 30, 31; Arnold Mem 9, 52; RI Roots 13:75). It is wrong, however, to assume that Joseph was an adult when he witnessed the deed. Witnesses as young as fourteen (the age of discretion) are found in early New England records. When on 9 February 1657 Joseph, his brother Ephraim, and sister Lydia witnessed a deed of land at Pawtuxet (Warwick) from an Indian sachem to their father, at least two and probably all three siblings were minors (see WarTR2 80-81; RESIDENCES, below). The most reliable approximation of Joseph's birth date is based on a deposition that he and Benjamin Smith gave on 16 October 1664 (HP 72-73). Its description of Joseph as "Aged 26 yeeres" implies a birth year of about 1638 and Providence as his probable birthplace (see William1 of Providence notes, RESIDENCES). For a detailed discussion of this and related issues--the immigration of William1 Carpenter of Providence (ca. 1636, as a single man) and his marriage to Elizabeth Arnold (ca. 1637, probably at Providence)--see William1 of Providence sketch, IMMIGRATION, which incorporates and supplements NEHGR 159:67-68..

    DEATH: On 22 November 1682, Joseph Carpenter, on behalf of Samuel Till(i)er, paid ?20 to John Robbins (OBTR 1:128-29). Two Musketa Cove proprietors' records, respectively dated 13 and 15 February 1682[/3], indicate that Joseph was then still living (OBTR 1:640-41). (Both follow on the same page a record dated 28 December 1682.) Three others, apparently recorded at or very near the same time as the foregoing ones, probably extend by two days the 15 February date, the latest on which Joseph is known with certainty to have been alive: all three are dated 17 February 1682 [probably 1682/3] (OBTR 1:642-44). On 15 March 1683/4, William1 Carpenter of Providence added to his will a codicil in which his son Joseph is described as deceased (PrTR 6:138-48, at 147-48).

    According to Daniel H. Carpenter, "[t]he records show that in September 1683, Ephraim Carpenter was absent from Musketa Cove, having gone to Rhode Island apparently on business connected with the death of his brother Joseph, who had died a little while earlier in 1683" (Carpenter [1901] 315n [see also 42]). While Joseph's death apparently did occur in 1683--perhaps by September (see below)--the records do not show what author Carpenter claims. A record listing Oyster Bay inhabitants (including those at Musketa Cove) and their respective estates, dated 29 September 1683, ends with a statement signed by Edmund Wright, deputy constable: "The Inhabytants being at this time sikly and not sending in their lists, According to order, the ouersears, _ye Constable being Absent at roadislond_ did laye A valewation upon Euery mans Eastate to ye best of there vnderstanding According to law" (emphasis added) (OBTR 1:691-92). Having been elected the previous 2 April, the Oyster Bay constable at this time was John Weeks (OBTR 1:264). The nearest Ephraim Carpenter came to being Oyster Bay constable was on 2 April 1681, when Caleb Wright was named to that office, and Ephraim became deputy constable for the plantation at Musketa Cove (OBTR 1:240-41). Thus it was John Weeks, not Ephraim Carpenter, who was "Absent at roadislond" in September 1683.

    Notes:

    William appeared in the will of his grandfather and by the advice of his family, in Deed on 2 September 1674, his estate at Providence, Rhode Island, he sold to his Uncle Stephen Arnold.

    In the DH Carpenter's book on the R.I.Branch
    "William acted as one of the proprietors after the death of his brother Joseph until 1706 when his nephew Joseph reached legal age. The Town Records shows very clearly that he was a large land owner and prominent in the affairs of the plantation.
    He was a blacksmith by trade, and had his homestead and shop in that part of town known as "Duck Pond." He sold this property in 1720, and probably moved to Westchester county, though he still had landed interests at Musketa Cove as late as 1734."
    William Carpenter was born about 1662/1666 in Pawtuxet, Bristol, RI. He died 2 February 1749 in NY. Number 13 in the book "The Carpenter Family" by Daniel H Carpenter. Pg 66
