This “enhanced” book version of the 1898 Carpenter Memorial has handwritten corrections made not only from the corrections pages therein, but also from various researchers. Hand written and typed supplemental data are also given.
Handwritten numbers represent record information numbers (RINs) near the names or heads of family. These RINs are in the Carpenter Cousins Project genealogical database and used in the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA (surname) Project as individual identifiers (aka C# ) in various online genealogical reports lineage tables and web pages.
If you want a clean version of the 1898 book, see "Other sources” below.
The Carpenter Cousins Project has identified over 106,000 Carpenter Cousins descendants from the two 1638 emigrants named William Carpenter as of July 2026. Many of these records have extensive notes from research efforts and personal histories. Some have very little data. The better the data the higher confidence the record has.
The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project has Y-DNA tested about 110 male Carpenter descendants from this Rehoboth Carpenter line with various Y-DNA kits up to 111 markers. Some have upgraded their kits to include Haplogroup testing for a better genetic ancestral history. This Carpenter Cousins surname project is referenced as Group 3 – The Rehoboth, MA Carpenters.
