    Notes:

    Please see: http://www.carpentercousins.com/carplink.htm

    There was another William Carpenter who immigrated in 1635 and settled in Providence, Rhode Island. THIS IS A DIFFERENT PERSON: a different father and a different family. See Group 2 of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project and the Carpenter Sketches.

    WILLIAM CARPENTER was born in England about 1575 and was still living a few days before 2 May 1638; he died probably in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, or Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. The identity of William's wife (or wives) has not been established.
    BIRTH: William was of Newtown, parish of Shalbourne, Wiltshire, England, by 1608, when he became a copyholder [semipermanent leaseholder] at Westcourt Manor. Shalbourne, completely in Wiltshire since 1895, previously straddled the line separating Wiltshire and Berkshire, with Westcourt comprising the Wiltshire part of the parish; the Hampshire border was/is about four miles away. It is likely that William was born in one of these three counties.
    The record of William's renewal of his Westcourt tenancy on 22 June 1614 gives his age as 40. The passenger list of the Bevis, the ship on which he left England, is dated 2 May 1638 and states William's age as 62. From these facts is calculated a birth year of about 1575.
    A William Carpenter, son of Henry Carpenter, was baptized about thirty miles north of Shalbourne in the parish of Great Coxwell, Berkshire, on 5 May 1576. About the same distance south-southwest of Shalbourne in Salisbury, Wiltshire, a William Carpenter, probable son of Thomas Carpenter, was baptized in the parish church of St. Thomas the Martyr on 1 May 1571. (The record of this baptism omits the father's name; however, St. Thomas records of John and Richard Carpenter, baptized 30 November 1572 and 17 December 1580, respectively, name Thomas Carpenter as their father.) Evidence that either of these persons was the eventual William Carpenter of Shalbourne has not been found.
    DEATH: The latest known record of William is the aforementioned Bevis passenger-list entry of 2 May 1638. His namesake son, William Carpenter, settled at Weymouth, probably in 1638 and certainly before 13 May 1640, when he was admitted as a freeman there. That his father William was not also made a freeman at this time was probably due either to his having died or to his station, which was modest when considered apart from his son's.
    MARRIAGE: William's having emigrated only three months after the death of Alice Carpenter, who was buried in Shalbourne on 25 January 1638, might be interpreted to suggest that she had been his wife (though not necessarily son William's mother); it is possible, of course, that she was an unmarried sister or daughter.
    A William Carpenter married Alice Swithen in St. Denys Church, parish of Warminster, Wiltshire, 14 January 1605. "Luis" [Louise?] (not Lillis, as indexed at familysearch.org) Carpenter, daughter of William Carpenter, was baptized at Warminster St. Denys 26 December 1607 and was buried there 11 August 1609. By the latter date, William had been in Shalbourne for more than a year. It is possible that the child had been returned from Shalbourne for burial, but available records fail to support such a hypothesis.
    Two other Warminster marriages in which the groom was named William Carpenter preceded the aforementioned one: on 2 December 1596, William Carpenter married Elinor Hunt, whose burial almost certainly occurred on 22 September 1597; on 11 July 1603, William Carpenter married Jane [Edwards]. Elizabeth, daughter of William (and presumably Jane) Carpenter, was baptized in Warminster on 26 October 1604 and probably married Richard Whittaker there on 9 April 1632. The only William Carpenter whose Warminster baptismal date raises the possibility that he married either or both Jane Edwards and Alice Swithen (but not Elinor Hunt) received the sacrament on 25 November 1582 as the son of Hugh Carpenter. While the man of that name, buried in Warminster 19 December 1616, might well have been the husband of Alice (Swithen), no ancillary records are found to verify it. (Baptized in Warminster 19 December 1562, William Carpenter "of the Laynes," hamlet of Bugley, was buried in Warminster 27 March 1625; on 29 January 1582, he had married there Dorothie Batt, who survived him. No Warminster baptismal record of a William Carpenter is any nearer to 1575 (William's calculated birth year) than that of 1582, above.
    The foregoing facts neither confirm nor refute that Alice Swithen was the wife of William of Shalbourne, but they tend toward the latter. It should be remembered that his relationship to the Alice Carpenter buried there is uncertain. But even if we accept for argument's sake that she was his wife, the only evidence pointing toward her having been the former Alice Swithen is matching, popular forenames; relative proximity of Shalbourne and Warminster (36? 40 miles); and a marriage date compatible with the approximate birth
    year (1605) of William Carpenter's only known child.
    A William Carpenter married at St. Thomas the Martyr, Salisbury, Wiltshire, 18 April 1605, Mary Bath (not Batt). Christopher Batt, a tanner of Salisbury, Wiltshire, was one of the Carpenters' fellow passengers on the Bevis. Records of the Batt family of Salisbury indicate that he and a Mary Batt of appropriate age (baptized at St. Thomas on 7 August 1584, daughter of Richard and Agnes (Danyell) Batt) "would be no more than distant cousins". It seems likely that this William Carpenter had been the infant of that name baptized at St. Thomas on 1 May 1571, and that he remained a Salisbury resident. Evidence that Mary Bath was the eventual wife of William Carpenter of Shalbourne has not been found.
    IMMIGRATION: William, with son William and the latter's family, embarked at Southampton, Hampshire, on the Bevis. The preamble to the ship's passenger list indicates that by 2 May 1638 "they [had been] some Dayes gone to sea." They landed probably at Boston (the point of all but a handful of Bay Colony arrivals) in June or July 1638 (the average ocean crossing took five to eight weeks).
    RESIDENCES: He was living at Newtown by 1 June 1608 and until at least about 18 September 1613; on the latter date a new family assumed tenancy of the parcels previously leased by the Carpenters. The last Carpenter record at Shalbourne is that of Alice Carpenter's burial, in 1637/8. Although her place in the Carpenter family is uncertain, we may be fairly confident that the others were present in or near Shalbourne at this time.
    Amos B. Carpenter's claim that William resided in London prior to emigrating is completely baseless. As above, William was at Shalbourne by 1608. In 2004, John R. Carpenter of La Mesa, California, requested a search by Guildhall Library, London, of that city's Carpenters' Company freemen's lists (begun in the sixteenth century) and of various catalogs; no reference to a William Carpenter was found.
    Despite the Bevis passenger list's description of William and son William as "of Horwell"? that is, Wherwell, Hampshire (about 15 air miles south-southeast of Shalbourne)? the aforementioned Shalbourne records make it clear that he was at the former place no more than a few months, perhaps only a day or two.
    Apparently based solely on the absence of any record of William in Massachusetts, Amos Carpenter claims that William returned to England on the ship that brought him. There is no evidence of this, however, and no reason to suppose it. His having endured the rigors of the voyage to Massachusetts (assuming he completed it), it is doubtful that William, an old man by the conditions and standards of the time, would have opted to face, unaccompanied, the physical demands of a return trip. And to what would he have returned? William was his eldest (perhaps only) son and heir. Where better for this father and grandfather to spend his last years than in the company of those with whom he had come? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence: considering his age (advanced), marital status (presumably a widower), and position in his family (almost certainly subordinate to his son), it is not significant that William fails to appear in Massachusetts records as a freeholder or town officer.
    OCCUPATION: The Bevis passenger list describes William as a carpenter. That his copyhold included not only a messuage (house and adjoining land) with a garden but also a small number of acres in nearby common fields, indicates that he was
    also a husbandman (subsistence farmer).
    CHILDREN: The only known child of William Carpenter is the son named with him in his record of tenancy at Shalbourne Westcourt and with whom he emigrated: the eventual William Carpenter of Rehoboth. (See also William of Rehoboth Life Sketch). The Carpenters' Encyclopedia of Carpenters 2009 main database's attribution to William of additional children through the alleged wife Mary "Batt" is baseless.

    Notes:

    http://www.carpentercousins.com/carplink.htm
    PLEASE DO NOT MERGE him with William Carpenter born about 1610 in Wiltshire. The Rehoboth, Massachusetts & Providence, Rhode Island lines are distinctly different genealogically and genetically, which is proven by a genetic study and genealogical research.

    This William was born about 1605, probably near the confluence of Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Berkshire Counties. No exact date of his birth in primary sources has been found. Some sources indicate 16 May 1605, or 23 May 1605, but these dates are known and proven fabrications.

    He was the son of William Carpenter of the Wiltshire portion of Shalbourne parish. His mother may have been the Alice Carpenter buried at Shalbourne on 25 January 1638. His father, William Carpenter, aged 62, was listed as a passenger on the "Bevis" in 1638, but he may have died during the voyage or shortly afterward. Certainly after 2 May 1638, when his name was recorded on the ship's passenger log. He married Abigail Briant at St. Michael's and All Angels Church, then in the Berkshire section of Shalbourne, England, on 28 April 1625.

    Both William and Abigail, along with four minor children and his father William, arrived in 1638 on the "Bevis." They were at Weymouth, Massachusetts, by 1640, and Rehoboth, Plymouth, by 1645.

    From Wikipedia "Rehoboth Carpenter Family"
    The first immigrant and founder of this line was William Carpenter (Gen. 1) (born about 1575 in England). With his namesake son, William Carpenter (Generation 2) (born about 1605 in England, and died in 1659 at Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony) and the son's wife and children (then numbering four), he arrived on the Bevis from Southampton, England, in 1638. Nothing more is known of the father, William (Gen. 1), in Massachusetts, and he is presumed to have perished either in passage, shortly after arriving in the new world, or, less likely, he returned to England.

    William Carpenter (Gen. 2) is buried in the Newman Congregational Church Cemetery with a simple fieldstone marked with a "W. C.". He first appears in New England records in 1640, as a resident of Weymouth, Massachusetts. He was among the founders (at Weymouth in late 1643) of the Plymouth Colony town of Rehoboth (settled 1644). His son, William (Gen. 3) Carpenter (born 1631 in England, and died in 1702/3 at Rehoboth, Bristol, Massachusetts), was for many years the Rehoboth town clerk, by virtue of which his name? not that of his father? appears with some frequency in Plymouth Colony records, in association with a number of local vital-records lists that he certified and forwarded to Colony authorities. The name William Carpenter appears in copious Plymouth Colony records and in the writings of John Winthrop and in other public records over the generations.

    William Carpenter, son of William Carpenter of Shalborough, was born in 1605, in England, and there married Abigail. On coming to America, he first settled in Weymouth, where he became a freeman in 1640. He was a representative from Weymouth in 1641 and 1643, and from Rehoboth in 1645, having been admitted an inhabitant of the latter town in 1645. He was also made a freeman in that same year. From 1643 to 1649, he served as proprietors' and town clerk. He died on 7 February 1659, in Rehoboth, Plymouth; his widow, Abigail, died on 22 February 1687. Five of their eight children were born in England, and the last three in Weymouth; they were: John, born about 1626; Abigail, 31 May 1629; William, 22 November 1631; Joseph, 6 April 1634; Samuel, 20 April 1637 (died 5 May 1637); Samuel, 3 April 1638; Hannah, 3 April 1640; and Abiah, 9 April 1643.

    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.
