Notes

8. Joseph Carpenter

INTRO: (This is a recap of the data below!)
Joseph Carpenter (William ) was born about 1638 in Providence, Providence Plantation. He died between 15/17 Mar 1682[/3] and 15 Mar 1683/4 in Musketa Cove, Queens County, Long Island, NY.
Joseph married Hannah Carpenter, daughter of  William2 and Abigail (Briant) Carpenter, about 1658 probably in Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. Hannah was born on 3 Apr 1640 in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony. She died by 8 Jun 1673 in Musketa Cove, Long Island, NY.

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.

The Musketa Cove proprietors' records dated 13 and 15 February 1682[/3], respectively, and one of the three dated probably within days of them (see above) refer to Joseph2 as "Sr:" or "Sen:" (OBTR 1:640-41, 642-44). The term _Senior_ was not generally applied to the elder of two same-named males of a locality until the younger one reached adulthood. The references to Joseph Sr. therefore suggest that Joseph2's namesake son had come of age by mid-February 1682/3. The record dated 15 February 1682/[3] appears to make a distinction between Joseph Sr. and his son Joseph: the town orders that a road separating the home lots of Joseph Carpenter and Nathaniel Coles shall be laid out by Joseph Carpenter Sr. and Robert Coles (OBTR 1:640). The aforementioned list of inhabitants--a virtual census of Oyster Bay freeholders as of 29 September 1683--names only one Joseph Carpenter, with no generational indicator, raising the possibility that Joseph2 had died by then, leaving Joseph3 (child no. iii, below) and the latter's uncle Ephraim as the only Carpenter freeholders then in Oyster Bay Township.

MARRIAGES: The secondary literature's oft-repeated date of Joseph2's marriage to Hannah Carpenter, 21 April 1659, is highly suspect. Supporting evidence is never presented, nor has any been found. It is, moreover, the date on which the will of Hannah's father, William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth, was proved at Plymouth, presumably upon presentation by her mother, as "Exequitrice" (PCPR 2:1:80, 83; MD 14:231, 233). Initial confusion and subsequent repetition have thus given Hannah's marriage a widely accepted date that actually pertains to another event--one that would have absented her mother (and probably one or more brothers) from Rehoboth on the alleged date of the marriage.

References in the will of William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth to "Cozen Carpenter" and "my brother Carpenter"--presumably Joseph2 and his father, William1 of Providence, respectively--have given rise to claims that Joseph and Hannah were first or second cousins. Recent Y-DNA test results virtually eliminate either possibility, however, showing with 95 percent certainty that the couple's nearest common Carpenter ancestor preceded their respective fathers by between two and twenty generations (Carpenter Cousins; William1 of Providence notes, COMMENTS). The term _cousin_ was used broadly at this time, often to denote _kinsman_, or relative by marriage. _Brother_ was sometimes used similarly: in two letters written in 1636 to his namesake son, for example, Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop calls the stepfather of the younger Winthrop's then wife, Elizabeth Reade, "my brother [Hugh] Peter" (WP 269, 275; Davis 212-13, 215; NEHGR 88:301). The quoted phrases thus almost certainly reflect relationships created by the couple's having married _before_ the partially dated will was made, no later than 10 December 1658 (see William2 of Rehoboth notes, WILL/ESTATE).

Joseph's having remarried by 2 September 1674 is implied in a deed of that date in which he, "of Muskeata Cove neer Oyster Bay on Long Island[,] . . . Formerly Inhabitant on the south of Pawtuxet River within . . . Warwick . . . For mony . . . paid . . . me by my uncle Stephen Arnold of Pawtuxet within . . . Towne-shipp of Providence . . . with . . . consent of my Father William Carpenter . . . of . . . Pawtuxet . . . sell[s] . . . unto . . . uncle Stephen Arnold, . . . one halfe of all my . . . Lands . . . on the South side of . . .  Pawtuxet river, Exceptinge only my dwellinge house, lott and pasture and meddow adjoyninge to it"; also mentioned is "Hannah [sic], my now wife" (RILE 50-51). The deed is signed by Joseph Carpenter, William Carpenter Sr., and-by the mark A-"Ana" Carpenter (Carpenter [1901] n.p. [376 (facsimile of original deed)]; RILE 51). That An[n]a was not Joseph's first wife, Hannah (of which Anna was a variant), is apparent from the phrase "my now wife" (implying one or more previous marriages) and the fact that Hannah had been literate and would not have signed by mark (see Hannah3 notes, EDUCATION). Francis Weekes's will and a codicil thereto, dated 25 June 1687 and 3 February 1688/9, respectively, identify his daughter Ann as the widow of Joseph Carpenter (OBTR 1:412, 2:702).

RESIDENCES: Providence Plantation; Warwick (Pawtuxet section), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (ca. 1658); Musketa Cove (probably late 1668: Joseph was of Pawtuxet on 7 November and of Musketa Cove on 30 November). It was presumably when Joseph married Hannah3 Carpenter that they left the homes of their respective families of origin--his at Providence (Pawtuxet section), hers at Rehoboth--and settled on the southern, Warwick side of the Pawtuxet River, which at its mouth bisects the village that is its namesake (WarTR1 162-63, 176-77; WarTR2 153-54; RILE 50-51; OBTR 1:42-43, 629-32, 641, 2:682-83; NEHGR 159:56n4; PawWeb; Carpenter [1901] 31-32).

OCCUPATION: Miller and yeoman (RILE 50-51; NYColDocs 606; OBTR 1:629-30; Glen Cove Hist; Carpenter [1901] 31, 33). D. H. Carpenter states that Joseph had a corn mill at Warwick when he was an inhabitant there (see Carpenter [1901] 31). In fact, the mill was in the part of Pawtuxet village lying on the north side of the river of that name, in the township of Providence; John Sweet had the corn mill at Warwick (RILE 50-51; WarTR1 157, 160). At Musketa Cove, "Carpenter and his friends . . . constructed a saw mill and a gristmill across what is now known as Glen Cove Creek. The harbor was ideal for shipping lumber to New York City and the creek was dammed to provide power for the mills. Their goal was [to] furnish New York City with lumber for the construction of housing. The site for the saw mill had many congenial conditions--a fine stream, opportunity for a short dam, and easy access to navigable water at high tide. . . . The lumber produced by the saw mill found a ready market in New York City. By 1679, two years after Carpenter's purchase from the Indians was officially ratified by the colonial New York government, the mill was producing nine different thickness[es] of boards and timber, as well as tile laths, shingle laths, wainscot, 'feather-edged' boards for paneling, and custom-cut walnut for cabinet-making" (Glen Cove Hist).

FREEMAN: Although there is no record of Joseph's having been admitted a freeman in either Rhode Island or New York, that status (comparatively easily achieved in Rhode Island) was a prerequisite to his being chosen for public office at Warwick (see Abiah3 sketch, FREEMAN). It is therefore virtually certain that he had been admitted a freeman of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations by 1662 (see OFFICES, below).

EDUCATION: He signed his deeds and other documents (see WarTR2 81; RILE 47, 51; OBTR 1:43-655 passim).

OFFICES: Warwick: juror, Court of Trials, 1662; grand juror, 1666; constable, 1667. Oyster Bay: appointed by Court of Sessions to arbitrate property-line dispute, 1678; on committee to receive deed of Unqua Neck from Indians, 1678[/9?] (RICT 2:5 [date], 8, 42 [date], 45; WarTR1 162-63, 176-77; OBTR 120-21, 129-30).

CHILDREN: Numbers i-iv born probably at Pawtuxet (Warwick), vi-viii at Musketa Cove; birth order uncertain.

    With first wife:

i. HANNAH3 CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 (parents m. ca. 1658) and say 1661/2, living Musketa Cove 19 March 1719/20 (husband's will); m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 17 Feb. 1682[/3?] (probably by 14 Jan. 1681[/2?]), WILLIAM THORNYCRAFT, b. probably Warwick, d. Musketa Cove between 6 April 1720 (sold land) and 19 Dec. 1728 (will proved), son of Thomas and Jean? (______) Thornycraft of Warwick (by 1647) and Maspeth Kills, Newtown (now Elmhurst, Queens Co.), L.I. (NYWills 11:80; MARRIAGE, above; WarTR1 1-296 passim [215, 217]; WarTR2 29, 141, 251, 252, 329; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357; OBTR 1:378, 6:654; NYGBR 64:31, citing NTR [1:]158).
On 17 February 1682 [probably 1682/3], William Thornycraft conveyed "twenty Accars of Land unto _his father in Law_ Joseph Carpenter . . . for and in Consideration of fifty Accars of Land in hand and reseaved, of _his father_ Joseph Carpenter" (emphases added) (OBTR 1:643; Carpenter [1901] 45 omits portion of quoted passage following ellipsis points). On the same date, Carpenter, in an exchange of fifty-acre lots with Nicholas Simkins, obtained the parcel he gave to Thornycraft, abutting the twenty acres his son-in-law gave him in return (OBTR 1:642-44). Thornycraft's right to the twenty acres of woodland he traded to Joseph Carpenter had been granted to him on 14 Jan. 1681[/2?] by a deed from the five Musketa Cove proprietors, including Carpenter (OBTR 1:639-40). It is doubtful that this grant to Thornycraft--also including "A sartin peece or parsell of Land whare hee now Inhabitts and Builtt upon for A home Lott as within fenc Allredy InClosed" and a parcel of upland--would have been made until he had married (in which case he need not have been twenty-one to receive it). The lots Thornycraft and Carpenter exchanged were adjacent and thus presumably of comparable quality. From this, the transfers' transaction date, and a gift of land made by Joseph Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) earlier (see no. ii, below), it is reasonable to conclude that the thirty acres Thornycraft gained from the trade was a marriage settlement from his father-in-law. The will of William Thorneycraft Sr. of Musketa Cove, dated 19 March 1719/20 and proved 19 Dec. 1728, names wife Hannah; sons William, Joseph, and Thomas; and daughters Hannah Washburn, Elizabeth Pellam (Pelham), Mary Thorneycraft, Jane Carpenter [m. cousin Silas, son of William (no. iv, below)], and Phebe Thorneycraft; the witnesses were Mary Carpenter, Thomas Pearsall, and Joseph Carpenter (NYWills 11:80, 85).
ii. THOMASIN/TAM(A)SIN CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and say 1662/3, living Madnan's Neck, Hempstead (now Great Neck, North Hempstead), L.I., 30 Jan. 1710, 9 Anne [regnal year], i.e., 30 Jan. 1710/11; m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 13 Feb. 1682[/3], as his second wife, JOHN WILLIAMS, d. Madnan's Neck shortly before 4 April 1705 (widow granted letters of adm.), son of Robert and Sarah (Washburn) Williams of Hempstead and Lusum (Jericho, in Oyster Bay) (HempTR 2:395-97; OBTR 1:187-88, 272, 458-60, 625-27, 641; Cock-Cocks-Cox 371; NYWills 1:118, 403-4; TAG 36:62; Washburn Gen 95-99, citing HempCtR 78-83).
The evidence that Thomasin (Mrs. John) Williams was Joseph and Hannah Carpenter's daughter is circumstantial: On 13 Feb. 1682[/3], Joseph Carpenter Sr. conveyed by a deed of gift to John Williams, a cordwainer (shoemaker) "now Residing on ye same place[,] foure Accars of Land . . . on ye north side of the highwaye Against my now dwelling house" (OBTR 1:641). Taken together, the nature of the transfer, the lot's location and Williams's prior occupation of it, and a similar transaction made by Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) later (see no. i, above) strongly suggest that the gift was a marriage settlement. On 13 May 1686, John Williams of Madnan's Neck sold to Joseph Carpenter fifty acres at Matinecock, "w[i]thin ye pattent & Township of Oysterbay"; John and Tamsun Williams signed the deed by mark (OBTR 1:483-84). Letters of administration on the estate of John Williams of Madnan's Neck, deceased, were granted to wife Tamasan on 4 April 1705; his estate inventory was exhibited by Thomasan Williams, administratrix, on 15 Sept. 1705 (NYWills 1:322, 403-4, 16:35 [corrections]). On 19 March 1705/6, Tamson Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, purchased fifty acres of woodland in Oyster Bay (OBTR 3:188-90). "Tamisen Williams the widow & Relick [sic] of John Williams of madnans neck," purchased 300 acres of woodland on the Byram River in Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., on 20 May 1707 (not 12 May 1706) (WeLR C:430; NYGBR 51:254; Carpenter [1901] 47 [12 May 1706]). On 30 Jan. 1710[/11], the town of Hempstead quitclaimed to Thomasin Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, 66 acres "in her full and peaceable posesion being" (HempTR 2:395-97).
D. H. Carpenter says that Thomasin "was probably named for her great-aunt 'Tomazin'" who "came over in 1635 . . . [and] is believed to have been an elder sister of William of Providence" (see Carpenter [1901] 45-46, 46n). This statement is presumably based on the tenuous assumption that because a Carpenter woman of that forename and a male Carpenter from William1's English home were recorded as emigrants about a week apart--William1 arrived in New England probably the following year (though not under the circumstances stated by D. H. Carpenter)--all three must be closely related (see Carpenter [1901] 5, 9, 46n; NEHGR 159:67-68). On 13 April (not 15 May) 1635, Tomazin Carpenter, aged 35, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the _Susan & Ellen_ (Hotten 57 [13 April], 59; Carpenter [1901] 5 [15 May]). Thomas Carpenter of Amesbury [in Wiltshire], carpenter, was among those who registered at Southampton "in and aboute" 6 April 1635 for passage to New England on the _James_ (PRO/TNA CO1/8/183-85, at 185; Coldham 133-34; NEHGR 14:332-33 and Carpenter [1901] 5 erroneously have 5 April). The _Susan & Ellen_'s passenger list gives no indication of Tomazin's origin, however, and nothing more is known of her (or of Thomas--unless he was actually the eventual William1 of Providence [in whose sketch see IMMIGRATION]). But if she was closely related to William of Providence, it is reasonable to suppose that she, too, was from Amesbury or thereabout. In that case, one would expect her and so-called Thomas of Amesbury to have sailed together or at least to have embarked from the same port. That they did neither renders what was never more than a possibility all the more remote. Ironically, Joseph's daughter Thomasin may well have been named after a slightly more-distant aunt on the other side of his family: his maternal grandfather, William1 Arnold, had a sister Thomasine/Tamzen, who remained in England (NEHGR 33:427-28, 69:67).
iii. JOSEPH CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and 9 July 1663 (perhaps by 13 Feb. 1661/2), d. Musketa Cove between 9 Sept. 1687 (quitrent payment) and 6 Jan. 1691 [probably 1691/2]; m. by 1685 (1st known child b. 16 Oct.) (OBTR 2:337, 350-51).
That records dated in mid-Feb. 1682[/3] call his father Joseph "Sr:" or "Sen:" suggests that Joseph (Jr.) was by then of age (OBTR 1:640-41; DEATH, par. 3, above). He was certainly so by 9 July 1684, when he and his mother were named administrators of his father's estate (Hist Mss 130). He was "late deceased" when a "memorandum" of the birth, on 16 Oct. 1685, of his "Eldest son and Heire," Joseph, was recorded at the top of a page also containing a record dated 6 Jan. 1691 (OBTR 2:350-51).
The identity of Joseph's wife is at best uncertain. The wife Ann(e) that D. H. Carpenter attributes to him was probably his stepmother, Ann (Weekes) Carpenter (see Carpenter [1901] 44; OBTR 1:644-47, 2:127-29, 650-51). Hinshaw gives Joseph's namesake son's mother as Anne, but while his main sources are original Quaker records, they are supplemented by others, some secondary (see Quaker Gen 1, 391). The younger Joseph's Musketa Cove birth record does not name his mother, and the otherwise informative Quaker record of his death names neither parent (see OBTR 2:350; Carpenter [1901] 64n and Hazard Index, both citing WMM-VR A:159). It is therefore probable that Hinshaw's identification of the younger man's mother as Anne derives ultimately from the D. H. Carpenter volume. Note, however, that the younger Joseph's first daughter was named Ann (Quaker Genealogy 391; Carpenter [1901] 66, 93). D. H. Carpenter's further supposition concerning the elder Joseph's wife--(having previously thought she was a daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Weekes) Simpkins)-- "we now think she was daughter of Thomas Thornycraft and sister to William Thornycraft"--is unsupported, as is the assertion of another author (whose Carpenter section builds upon Carpenter [1901]) that she was probably Mary Thornycraft (see Carpenter [1901] 44; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357).
Joseph3 had a second son, Thomas, who is said by D. H. Carpenter to have been born on 16 Aug. 1687 (OBTR 3:344-45 [1708 quitclaim, Joseph to "my Brother Thomas"]; Carpenter [1901] 44 [b. 15 Aug.], 67; Haviland Gen 110). Seeming to confirm this is the 1 Jan. 1859 account by Sarah C. Field (1797-1879) of a family record then in her possession or that of her mother, Jane (Haviland) Field (1765-1860), giving Thomas's birth date as "8 mo., 16th day, 1687" (Haviland Gen 186). Prior to 1752, however, the eighth month was not August but October (as consistent with the latter's Latin origin). Without informing the reader of his translations, D. H. Carpenter expresses with named months many dates that are actually recorded with numbered ones (including all those from Quaker records). Because his conversions of pre-1752 numbered-month dates are mistakenly based on modern reckoning, they are consistently off by two months. Note, however, that Thomas's corrected birth date, 16 October 1687, contains the same day and month as his brother Joseph's (see above). So while the October date is more reliable than the August one, the former should nevertheless be regarded with some caution. Thomas certainly had been born by 26 Nov. 1687: he and brother Joseph sold land to their uncle Nathaniel on 26 Nov. 1708 (OBTR 3:310-12).
The aforementioned family record gives the date of Joseph3's son Thomas's marriage as "10 mo., 14th day, 1708" [14 Dec. (not Oct.) 1708] (Haviland Gen 110 [Oct.], 186 [10 mo.]; see also Carpenter [1901] 67 [Oct.]). While his wife is identified therein only as Hannah, several secondary sources have her as Hannah Alsop, daughter of Thomas [sic] and Hannah (Underwood) Alsop (see, for example, Haviland Gen 110; Carpenter [1901] 67). This is doubly incorrect, however: First, the secondary literature has long accepted (albeit without documentation) that Hannah Underwood married the immigrant Richard Alsop; the earliest Thomas Alsop was their son, born in 1687 (also Thomas Carpenter's birth year), who married Susannah Blackwell (GMB 3:1862, 1863; Alsop Gen 3, 4; Underhill Gen 65). And second, Richard and Hannah Alsop's daughter Hannah married Joseph Sackett (Alsop Gen 2 [Richard Alsop will (transcr.), naming dau. Hannah Sackett], 4; Underhill Gen 66). There was a marriage between a Thomas Carpenter, son of Joseph, and a Hannah Alsop, daughter of Richard, but it occurred in 1777 (Hazard Index, citing WMM-VR A:250). The identity of Hannah, wife of the subject Thomas Carpenter, is unknown.
iv. WILLIAM CARPENTER, b. by 3 Sept. 1666 (freeholder by 3 Sept. 1687), living Oyster Bay Township 5 Aug. 1734; m. ELIZABETH _______ (OBTR 2:337, 3:429-31, 5:623-25; Carpenter [1901] 49n, 73).
On 13 May 1720, William sold his 81-acre Musketa Cove farm, "Reserveing to my Self Three Acres" (OBTR 3:429-31). On 8 May 1722, with son Silas (about whom more below), William purchased 375 acres on the Byram River at North Castle and Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., of which William was then "in possession" (Carpenter [1901] 49n, 73, both citing WeLR G:215-17). Subsequent records put William on Long Island in 1728/9 and in Oyster Bay Township from 1730/1 to 1734 (NYWills 11:85 [William Jr. of Long Island (implies presence at same place of Wm. Sr.)], 3 Jan. 1728/9]; OBTR 4:366-68 [William Jr., 5 March 1730/1], 5:75 [William Jr., 5 Aug. 1734], 623-25 [William Sr., 2 April 1734]).
William sold his farm (see above) "with ye ffree will and Consent of my Wife Elizabeth Carpenter," who added her signature (by mark) to his (OBTR 3:431). D. H. Carpenter calls it "a _possibility_ amounting to a _probability_" (his emphases) that Elizabeth was the daughter of William's uncle Ephraim Carpenter and says that she died about 1743 (Carpenter [1901] 50); he fails to support either assertion, however. G. W. Cocks says that Elizabeth's parentage is "not certainly known, but may have been Moses and Elizabeth (Weeden) Mudge, then of Musketa Cove, who had a dau. Elizabeth, b. 28/12 mo. (Feb.) 1674" (Cock-Cocks-Cox 358, 385). Note that this is expressed as no more than a possibility. There is, moreover, no known basis for the assertion that Moses and Elizabeth Mudge had a daughter Elizabeth, let alone that she was born on the date stated (which is not to say that either is necessarily false). An Elizabeth Mudge was born at Northampton, Mass., 10 Oct. 1673 and another at Charlestown, Mass., 12 March 1674, but their respective parents and husbands are not those of the same-named woman mentioned by Cocks (see Mudge Gen 46, 49; TAG 81:25; Charlestown Gens 2:693). In the most recent and authoritative account of Moses Mudge and his family, Gale Ion Harris, FASG (citing an unpublished typescript by Harry Macy Jr., FASG) presents Mudge's issue as consisting of two sons and no daughters (see TAG 81:18-30, at 24 [24n38 corrects Mudge Gen 48]). Elizabeth (Mrs. William) Carpenter's maiden name is unknown. And in any case, since the one known record in which her forename appears as William's wife is dated in 1720 (see above), it is not certain that she was the mother of his children.
The will of William's son Silas Carpenter of North Castle, dated 3 Jan. 1728/9 and proved 13 Feb. 1728[/9], names wife Jane [his cousin, dau. of William and Hannah (Carpenter) Thornycraft (see no. i, above)]; daughters Hannah and Phebe; sons William, Timothy, and Silas; and executors [brother-in-law] William Craft [formerly Thornycraft], [brother] William Carpenter Jr., both of Long Island, and wife Hannah [sic]; witnesses include [uncle] Nathaniel Carpenter (no. v, below) (NYWills 11:80, 85 [_Silas_ transcr. as _Giles_]). The will of William's son Joseph Carpenter of Oyster Bay, dated 25 Feb. 1727[/8?] and proved 21 March 1727/8, names wife Abigail [nee Robbins]; sons Joseph and John; and executors "my wife and her brother, John Robbins" (NYWills 11:101).
v. NATHANIEL CARPENTER, b. Pawtuxet (Warwick) or Musketa Cove between say 1668 and 10 Feb. 1672[/3?] (grantee 10 Feb. 1693[/4?]), d. North Castle 25 2nd mo. [April (not Feb.)] 1730; m. Musketa Cove 5 Nov. 1690, TAMAR COLES, b. 18 May 1673, dau. of Robert and Mercy (Wright?) Coles (OBTR 1:652-53, 655, 2:101-3; FMM-VR 220; MacDonough-Hackstaff 455).
Nathaniel is said to have been probably the first white child born at Musketa Cove (see Carpenter [1901] 43, 50). This, however, is based on the unsupported assertion that he was born in the summer of 1668 and the questionable assumption that both parents had settled on Long Island by that time (see Carpenter [1901] 50; OBTR 2:682; RESIDENCES, above). The record of his death calls him Nathaniel "Juner," but the only other man of that name known to have been residing at North Castle at the time was his son, who died in late 1758 (see FMM-VR 220; Quaker Gen 63; NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85). An item in the 1 Jan. 1759 issue of the _New-York Mercury_ is often said online to refer to the elder Nathaniel but in fact concerns the estate settlement of his recently deceased son. Naming "Captain Nathaniel Carpenter, deceas'd, of North-Castle, in Westchester County, and Province of New-York," the notice was placed by Caleb Fowler and Caleb Green, "Executors, in said County" (Hist Newspapers). The latter two men were brothers-in-law of the younger Nathaniel, whose will names them as executors (NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85-86).

D. H. Carpenter gives Joseph and Hannah a sixth child: Hannah, "born 1672-3, married Jacob Hicks in 1690" (Carpenter [1901] 43). A few secondary sources state that the maiden name of Jacob Hicks's wife was Carpenter, but not all give her parentage, and none presents supporting evidence (see, for example, Mott Gen 372; Shotwell Gen 237, 280; Cornell Gen 383; Seaman-Husband 84). In his will, dated in 1751, Jacob Hicks's bequests to wife Hannah include "all the goods she brought with her when married" (NYWills 5:93-94). The quoted phrase implies that Hannah (whatever her maiden name) was not Hicks's first wife and probably married him long after his children were born (at Hempstead between 1702-making a 1690 marriage date unlikely [see above]-and about 1718) (see Colonial Fams 3:1330). More to the point, however, the Carpenter daughter whom D. H. Carpenter is unable to identify by forename but correctly describes as having married William Thornycraft is almost certainly the woman whom Thornycraft's will calls "my wife Hannah" (see Carpenter [1901] 43; NYWills 11:80; child no. i, above).

    With second wife:

vi. ANN CARPENTER (unconfirmed), b. say 1676; m. JOSEPH?/SAMUEL? WEEKS (see Carpenter [1901] 43; Davol-Willets 191, Joseph Weeks m. Hannah Crooker; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357, 385, 386).
vii. BENJAMIN CARPENTER, b. say 1676?/1680?, d. Oyster Bay between 2 Dec. 1729 (will) and 13 April 1730 (will proved); m. Musketa Cove ca. 1704 (1st child b. 15 Sept. 1705), MERCY/MARCY COLES, b. 24 March 1683/4, living Oyster Bay 2 Dec. 1729 (Benjamin's will), dau. of Robert and Mercy (Wright?) Coles (OBTR 1:652-53, 654, 655, 3:349-50; Carpenter [1901] 43 [Benj. b. 1680], 55 [b. ca. 1676]; NYWills 11:128; MacDonough-Hackstaff 455). Among children named in Benjamin's will is a son Robert, not named in the secondary literature.
viii. JOHN CARPENTER, b. by ca. 1683 (father's death), living Musketa Cove 4 June 1759; m. Westbury (Quaker Meeting House), Hempstead (now Old Westbury, in North Hempstead and Oyster Bay), 12 6th mo. [August (not June)] 1713, MARTHA FEAKE, b. Killingworth, Oyster Bay, 27 8th mo. [October] 1688, dau. of John and Elizabeth (Prior) Feake (Carpenter [1901] 58 [m. June], 59-60 [citing orig. Oyster Bay recs., 10:410]; FMM-VR 78, 125; GMB 1:658, citing NYGBR 87:107-8).

COMMENTS: That Joseph's first wife, Hannah, had died by 8 June 1673 is deduced from his deed of that date, in which he, "of Muskeeto Cove In Longe-Island," conveys to "my Brother in Law Abyah Carpenter of Pawtuxet in Rhode-Island Collony . . . Lands and Commonage [there] which Fell to me by my wife . . . from her father"; Hannah is not a cosignatory (RILE 1:47). (For bequests to Hannah from her father, William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth, see PCPR 2:1:80-81 or MD 14:231-32 [transcr.].)

On 10 and 27 December 1692, Musketa Cove proprietors Nicholas Simkins, Robert Coles, and Nathaniel Coles, "w[i]th ye consent of ye Overseers & Administrat[o]rs of ye Deceased Joseph Carpenter and Daniel Coles," divided certain lands among themselves and the estates of the two deceased proprietors. In the first of these divisions, "The ffourth Lott" went to the estate of Joseph Carpenter, represented by Ann Carpenter, who signed, as she had in 1674 (see MARRIAGES, above), with the mark A (OBTR 1:644-47, 2:127-29). On 19 September 1703, "upon the Request of Anne Carpenter the Relict or widdow of Joseph Carpenter Deceased of the Township of Oysterbay," Simkins and Coles brothers Robert and Nathaniel quitclaimed to her "the fourth Lott of Land Lying In the Neck Within the Limitts of Musketacove pattent" (OBTR 2:650-51). At a Quaker monthly meeting held at Jericho [in Oyster Bay Township] on 24 4th month [June] 1713, "John Carpenter [son] of Joseph Carpenter deceased and of Ann his wife, and Martha Feak Daughter of John Feak of Matiniconck [village of Oyster Bay] & of Elizth his Wife decd appeared & declared their intentions of Marriage" (WMM-MM A:24). It is possible, though by no means certain, that Ann had died by 12 6th month [August] 1713, the date of her son John's marriage (see FMM-VR 78; child no. viii, above). By Quaker custom, all adults present at the ceremony sign the wedding certificate (presented to the newlyweds), typically beginning with the bride and groom's parents. Ann's name, however, is not among those of the first sixteen witnesses (there were "Ten Others"), copied into the Flushing Monthly Meeting record of the event (FMM-VR 78). Note, however, that although the bride's father, John Feake, lived until 1724, his name is also missing from the record (FMM-VR 218).

In a testamentary deed to his son Daniel, dated 29 January 167[2/]3, Francis Weekes mentions wife Elizabeth (OBTR 1:99). While there is no direct evidence that Elizabeth was Ann (Weekes) Carpenter's mother, Ann's older, only known sister was also named Elizabeth (baptized at New Amsterdam on 31 March 1647 with her three quadruplet brothers) (NYChR 22). And in 1655, Elizabeth Weekes, under power of attorney, sold husband Francis's property in Gravesend (now in Brooklyn) (Davol-Willets 190). Without explanation, an important (though hardly infallible) nineteenth-century Rhode Island source gives the forename of Ann's mother as Alice (see Austin 36); in light of the above, however, this seems unlikely.

Several secondary sources assert, without proof, that Francis Weekes's wife Elizabeth's maiden name was Luther (see, for example, LIGens 323; Cock-Cocks-Cox 295, 354, 383; Davol-Willets 190-91; Carpenter [1901] 35). The earliest known Elizabeth Luther in New England, however, was more than twenty years younger than Ann Weekes. The daughter of Samuel2 Luther of Swansea, Plymouth Colony, she was born there on 2 February 1672 (see SwVR A:5). Since Samuel2 Luther, the eldest known child of John1 Luther, was himself born about 1636, it is likely that an unrecorded older sister Elizabeth would also have been too young to have been Ann's mother (see NEHGR 48:443, 70:30). A recent genealogy published "under patronage of The Luther Family Association" concludes a detailed discussion of this matter by saying  that "[c]ontinued research has not produced any further evidence that the Elizabeth Luther who married Francis Weeks has any connection with our Captain John Luther line" (Luther Gen 37). The most authoritative Weekes genealogy goes further: "It has been reported that the wife of Francis Weekes was Elizabeth Luther. The late George W. Cocks, in the Cocks [g]enealogy, said that she was a daughter of Samuel Luther, of Swansea, R.I. [sic], &c. Mr. Clarence A. Torrey, of Dorchester, Mass., a professional genealogist and a descendant of Francis Weekes, says: 'I feel doubtful about the Luther line. Capt. John Luther's known children were born after 1634. Elizabeth, wife of Francis Weekes, was born, it is supposed, about 1620. I have never seen proof that her name was Luther'" (Weekes Gen 25-26). In his posthumously published _New England Marriages Prior to 1700_, the aforementioned Clarence Almon Torrey lists Francis Weekes's marriage without a surname for his wife, despite his having included in his source notes for this item several volumes that give her maiden name as Luther (Torrey [CD]).

On 13 July 1663, Joseph Carpenter, [brother-in-law] Abiah Carpenter, Benjamin Smith, and Mr. Henry Reddock, all of "Pautuxett in Warwicke," asked that the Warwick Court of Trials transfer their prosecution "concerning a Riot" to the General Court of Trials held at Portsmouth the following October (WarCT 230; RICT1 2:22; NEHGR 159:58).

D. H. Carpenter describes the land that Joseph Carpenter bought from the Matinecock Indians on 24 May 1668 as comprising about 3,000 acres, but this is inaccurate (see Carpenter [1901] 32, also n.p. [374 (map)]). (Neither the original deed nor a copy is extant, but the date of purchase is mentioned in several subsequent records [see OBTR 1:65-67, 322-23, 641-42, 2:65].) Joseph granted a share of his acquisition to brother-in-law Abiah Carpenter on 30 November 1668, describing the latter's portion as twenty acres and "a fifth parte of Three Square Miles" (all of which Abiah deeded back to him about six months later) (OBTR 1:42-43, 49, 629-30). The Indians' acknowledgement of the sale to Joseph, dated 7 November 1668, describes it more precisely: "[W]e the Indian Proprietors of Matinicock upon Long Islan . . . do acknowledg to have . . . sould . . . unto Joseph Carpenter of Potuxen of Rhoade Island Colony . . . a certaine parcell of Woodland containing a hundred acres, lying upon the North side of Musketooe Cove, w[i]th a square myle of timber & grazing, on the North side of this hundred acres, & also a square myle of timber and grasing on the South side of the said Cove, the meadows & all the Creeke Thatch excepted, lying . . . about the said Cove, & also a square myle of timber & grasing at the head of the said Cove, ioyning to the said hundred acres" (OBTR 2:682-83). This and other records make it clear that Joseph had actually acquired only one hundred acres, with the privilege of harvesting timber from and grazing animals upon the remaining three square miles. On 6 March 1670 [probably 1670/1], he conveyed a one-fifth interest in land and privileges to each of four others (see below) (OBTR 1:65-67, 2:65).

On 27 February 1675 [probably 1675/6], the inhabitants of Musketa Cove and "Mattinicock" [Oyster Bay plantation] petitioned colonial authorities "for a preference in purchasing land near them" (Hist Mss 34; OBTR 2:683). Governor's Council minutes dated 17 May 1676 describe what followed: "The Matinicock Indyans being sent for, The Governor proposes the buying of their Land, and particularly of three parcels of Land of a mile square each, about Muskitoe Cove, of which the Inhabitants have already the herbage and trees. They aske an Extravagant Rate. Att length come to an Agreement for six hundred Guilders [equivalent to £50] Seawant [wampum]" (NYColDocs 720; OBTR 2:684; Money). The Musketa Cove patent, issued by Governor Edmund Andros on 29 September 1677, describes the tract--laid out to Joseph Carpenter, Nicholas Simkins, and Coles brothers Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert--as "Contayning in all one Thousand & Seven hundred Acres as by ye Returne under ye hand of ye Surveyors doth & maye appeare" (OBTR 1:309-10 [also 635]). In return, the five patentees are to pay "Yearly and every Yeare unto his Royall Highness use as a Quitrent one Bushel of good Winter Wheat unto Such officer or officers as Shall be empowered to receive the Same." The patent thus brought Joseph Carpenter's actual land holdings at Musketa Cove from 16 acres (one-fifth of 100, minus 4 acres he had sold to Moses Mudge in 1674) to 356 acres (one-fifth of 1,800, minus the aforementioned 4 acres) (OBTR 1:322-23).

Also on 29 September 1677, a separate patent was issued to Joseph Carpenter and six others, "as patentees for and on ye behalf of themselves and their Associates the Freeholders & Inhabitants of [Oyster Bay]"; the annual quitrent was to be "one Good fatt lamb on ye 25th Day of March" (OBTR 1:307-8). On 9 September 1687, Joseph Carpenter [son of the patentee], "in behalfe of the Town of Oysterbay for Quit Rents doe," paid provincial authorities "Three Lambs being for Quit Rent for three Years to ye 25th of March Last past" (OBTR 2:337).

NOTE: Some 20 children are credited to him by at least two possibly three wifes. Which child is which and which is duplicated is unknown at this time.

In the Carpenter Chronicles, Vol 26, (Sept. 1996) a Signe. N. Parrish claims decent from this Joseph.  From age of children et cetera, Amos as child to Joseph is probably wrong.  He most likely was a grandchild, but by whom is unknown.  Temporary connection.

AFN 30Z7-PN and RJSH-H1 are the same person.  AF has him dying in Oyster Bay, Nassau, NY.

The 1898 book also indicates he died at Musceta Cove, an indian word for Mosquito Cove, in 1693 and that his wife Hannah died there too.
The five purchasers of Musketa Cove were Joseph Carpenter, Nicholas Simpkins and the brothers Daniel, Robert and Nathaniel Coles, sons of Robert Coles of Pawtuxet, RI.  A Map drawn in 1677 showed that the only Carpenters on Musketa Cove were the brothers Joseph and Ephraim Carpenter.  Joseph owned the site of the first house built in Musketa Cove about 1668. Adjacent to his land was the land of Daniel Coles, son of robert Coles of Pawtuxet.
Amos B. Carpenter stated in the Carpenter Memorial he was never ever able to substantiate any migration from Wales to Long Island in 1678, supporting the determination that the brothers had orginated in Providence.  James Usher indicates in his 1883 record a Carpenter family that was descendant of Caleb Zimmerman of Prussia that went to England as a "Friend" and his descendants went to Wales then America to Long Island.

A map drawn in 1718 shows a Survey of Westchester County, NY for a Joseph Carpenter and a Bennonah Merit.  Joseph the largest landowner shown, had two tracts, the first and second purchases.  Timothy Carpenter's land was shown below Joseph's last purchase, where the town of Armonk now is located.  The land of William and Silas Carpenter was further south.
If Joseph died in 1693 or 1695 it could not have been him who requested the survey above.  His son Joseph died abt the same time period.  It had to be his grandson Joseph (B. 1685) or another non-related Joseph Carpenter.

John,
I have a number of unanswered questions about the establishment of the Long Island Quaker colonies myself. I have read several versions that vary, hopefully some day a person, unbiased, will set down with a good
translation of the Dutch records, and pertinent genealogical records, and set the story to pen. There seem to be quite a number of players in the story, such as John Bowne, a number of passengers of the Woodhouse, Roger
Williams, Captian John Underhill, at least two Dutch Govenors, both Dutch and English soldiers and the Indians of the Island, and still many more, but I have as yet to hear the whole sotry told.
Larry More.
Here is a short history of Joseph Carpenter and a few decendants, refferences are at the end.
(II) Joseph, eldest son of William and Elizabeth (Arnold) Carpenter, was born at Amesbury, Wiltshire, England, about 1635. The first mention made of him is at Providence, Rhode Island, where on May 3, 1656, he is witness to
a deed from his uncle, Stephen Arnold, to his father, which indicates that he was then of legal age. The town records of Warwick, Rhode Island, show that he had a "corne mill" at the wading place near the Falls on the Pawtuxet river. Here he remained until 1677, although as early as 1663 he was at Long Island making negotiations for the purchase of land from the Indians at Oyster Bay. The Hempstead colony on Long Island resisted the attempts to settle at Oyster Bay, but finally allowed them to remain in peace. Joseph Carpenter is recorded as having purchased 3000 acres of land at Musketa Cove. Associated with him were Nathaniel Coles, Abia Carpenter, Thomas Townsend and Robert Coles. They styled themselves "The Five Proprietors of Musketa Plantations," which name and style was continued until after the revolution. Each proprietor had a "home lott" of five acres set off on which to erect a dwelling. These home lots were situated on a street or highway that they called "The Place." The site of these homes on this street, which still bears the name, are very readily identified. On the "lott of Joseph Carpenter" the first house was built after the erection of a saw mill. It was occupied by him all his lifetime, was the birthplace
of nearly all his children, and continued in the family for several generations. The plantation prospered, although its growth was retarded by King Philip's war. Following the erection of a saw mill he burt a grist and
fulling mill, agreeing with the other proprietors to grind their grain in return for the use of water power. In a few years the Oyster Bay settlement had its own town government, constable, overseers, justice of the peace and
recorder. They held their own town meetings and elected their own officers until the organization of Queens county in 1683. They had many industries, and the records show Joseph Carpenter to have been the prime mover in their
establishment, and that his energy and ability had made a thriving community from an humble beginning. He died during the "sickly season" of 1683. The place of his burial is not known. He married (first) April 21, 1659, Hannah, daughter of William Carpenter, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts; she was born at Weymouth, Massachusetts, February 3, 1640, died about 1673.
He married (second) Ann (or Anna), baptized in the Dutch Church at New York in 1647, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Luther) Weeks. Francis Weeks was with Roger Williams in the canoe when he first landed at Providence. He and his wife were early settlers of Hempstead, Long Island, where they were heavily fined for "entertaining Quakers," and soon after removed to Oyster Bay.
Children by first wife: 1. Joseph, "the eldest son," inherited the estate and title of his father. 2. A daughter, married William Thornecraft, 3. Tamsen, married John Williams. 4. William, born about 1666. 5. Nathaniel, said to have been the first white child born at Musketa Cove, Oyster Bay, Long Island; married Tamar, eldest daughter of Robert and Mercy (Wright) Coles. 6. Hannah, married Jacob Hicks. Children of second wife: 7. Ann, married Joseph Weeks. 8. Benjamin, married Mercy, daughter of Robert and Mercy (Wright) Coles, sister of the wife of his half brother, Nathaniel. 9. John (posthumous child), married Martha Feake. These children were all prominent in the plantation, and some of them joined in the exodus from Oyster Bay to "the Main," as Westchester county was then called, and were among the first settlers at Rye, North Castle, Bedford, Harrison and Mamaroneck. Other families leaving about 1700 were the Coles, Weeks, Lallings, Wrights, Townsends, Cocks and many others.
(III) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (1) and Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter, was born about 1660, at Pawtuxet, and inherited the paternal estate, operating a mill and the plantation. There is a tradition that he was drowned trying to save the mill in a freshet. At any rate he died between September 9, 1687, and 1692. His wife Ann was probably a daughter of Thomas Thornycraft. Record of two sons is found: Joseph, mentioned below; Thomas, born August 15, 1687. (IV) Joseph (3), eldest son of Joseph (2) and Ann Carpenter, was born October 16, 1685, at Pawtuxet, the date being recorded at Oyster Bay, New York, probably to authenticate his heirship to one-fifth of the Musketa Cove patent. Five days after he came of age he deeded to his uncles, William and Nathaniel, farms in that section. His adult life was passed at Oyster Bay, and in 1707 he instituted suit to recover property in Rhode
Island formerly belonging to his greatgrandfather, William Carpenter. This suit was successful. He resided on the homestead at Pawtuxet until about 1715, when he sold out and moved across the Cove to Lot No. 1, in the
division of 1681, which is now in the village of Sea Cliff. His house was burned by lightning in 1747-8, after which he sold the land for o225 and retired to the village of Jericho, where he died June 3, 1776, at the house of his grandson, Joseph Carpenter. He was a sincere member of the Friends Society, often occupying places of trust and responsibility in the town and was noted for his charitable character. To his benevolence many worthy
persons were indebted for substantial aid at the proper time.
He married (first) in 1707, Ann, daughter of Captain Andrew and Ann (Coddington) Willett. She died February 9, 1709, and he married (second) in 1711, her sister Mary, born September 21, 1691. She was a granddaughter of Colonel Thomas Willett, born 1610, at Borley, Hertfordshire, England, and came to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1629. Later he was at New Amsterdam, and was the first English mayor appointed over the city of New York, 1665. The Dutch soon after reoccupied New Amsterdam, and he retired to Swansea, Massachusetts, where he died August 4, 1674. He was a man of much character and ability and still has numerous descendants in the vicinity of New York. He married (third) in 1636, Mary, daughter of John Brown, a pioneer of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Andrew, son of Thomas and Mary (Brown) Willett, was born at Plymouth, and was a merchant at Boston, whence he removed about 1680 to Rhode Island. As early as 1692 he returned to Boston and occupied a residence on Boston Neck which was built by his brother-in-law, John Saffin, speaker of Massachusetts assembly. While residing in Rhode Island he represented Westerly in the general court. He married Ann, daughter of Hon. William
Coddington, of Newport, and among their children were daughters Ann and Mary, who married successively Joseph Carpenter, as above noted.
(V) Ann, daughter of Joseph (3) and Mary (Willett) Carpenter, born September 24, 1716, died 1803, married October 8, or December 23, 1737, at Oyster Bay, Samuel Underhill of that town (see Underhill IV).

A bit of the Hamlet of Musketa Cove, Town of Oyster Bay (now known as the City of Glen Cove) early history concerning a young Rhode Island inhabitant named Joseph Carpenter who purchased 2,000 acres of land on May 24, 1668 in the then northwest section of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock Indians in order to erect a saw mill. "On May 24, 1668, a young Rhode Island inhabitant named Joseph Carpenter purchased 2,000 acres of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock Indians. His intention was to erect a saw mill and furnish New York City with lumber desperately needed for the construction of housing.
Carpenter took in as partners in his venture three brothers: Robert, Daniel and Nathaniel Coles, who were also former inhabitants of Rhode Island living in Oyster Bay; and Nicholas Simkins, also of Oyster Bay.
These five businessmen chose to retain the place-name by which the Matinecock Indians had known the area, and therefore styled themselves "The Five Proprietors of Musketa Cove Plantation." Musketa (also spelled
"rnusquito") translates from the Matinecock's language to roughly mean "the place of  rushes."
Within a rather short time, the "Five Proprietors" had dammed a small stream that ran through the valley, whose course is roughly paralleled by Glen Street today. This dam was located near the foot of Mill Hill, slightly northeast of the present fire department on a spot marked by a memorial plaque.
On the dam was erected the saw mill, which by an early. covenant between the "Five Proprietors" was jointly owned by each of them, and a small grist mill which was constructed by Joseph Carpenter under the condition that he grind the grain of the other proprietors "well and tolle free for ever."
(Millers were remunerated for their services by receiving a percentage of the finished flour as payment... usually about 10 per cent).
The lumber produced by the saw mill found a ready market in New York City, which had used up most of the indigenous trees on Manhattan Island rather quickly. By l679, just two years after Carpenter's purchase from the
Indians was officially ratified by the colonial New York govemment, the mill was producing nine different thicknesses of boards and timber, as well as tile laths, shingle laths, wainscott, "feather-edged" boards for
panelling, and custom-cut walnut for cabinet-making.
A small portion of the mill's accounts were recorded in the "Musketa Cove Proprietor's Book," a hand- written record of the early settlers' land transactions and agreements. The accounts indicate that one of the major
purchasers of Musketa Cove lumber was Jacob Leisler, a prosperous New York City merchant who would, in 1689, overthrow the colonial government of the colony and, in 1691, would be executed for treason.
However, it appears that Leisler did not forget his acquaintances in Musketa Cove during his reign as ad-hoc governor in New York, he appointed Robert Coles as Captain in the Oyster Bay Militia."

History of Glen Cove
By Antonia Petrash, Carol Stern, and Carol McCrossen
The history of Glen Cove, like that of most other settlements on the North Shore of Long Island is closely associated with the history of its waterfront. Surrounded by water of three sides, Glen Cove presently has over ten miles of waterfront including: three public beaches, two nature preserves, a public golf course and a public park. It was the waterfront that first attracted the Native Americans, the City’s founding fathers and ultimately the wealthy families who would later create the Gold Coast of Glen Cove.
I - A Settlement is Founded
On May 24, 1668 Joseph Carpenter of Warwick Rhode Island purchased about 2,000 acres of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock Indians. Later in that year he admitted four co-partners into the project - three brothers, Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert Coles, and Nicholas Simkins, all residents of Oyster Bay. The five young men named the settlement “Musketa Cove,” which in the Matinecock language means “this place of rushes.” These settlers have been known forever after as the five original proprietors of Musketa Cove Plantation.
Carpenter and his friends saw great potential in their new community. They constructed a saw mill and a gristmill across what is now known as Glen Cove Creek. The harbor was ideal for shipping lumber to New York City and the creek was dammed to provide power for the mills. Their goal was furnish New York City with lumber for the construction of housing. The site for the saw mill had many congenial conditions - a fine stream, opportunity for a short dam, and easy access to navigable water at high tide.
The proprietors and their families built their homes near the campfires of the Indians along a street atop a hill overlooking the saw mill. They were blessed with the brave spirit of the pioneer. They were not afraid to work long hours to mold the raw materials of nature into the finished products needed to build a civilization. While each had land for his own homestead, much of the land was maintained as common space for the grazing of cattle. The first settled street in Glen Cove, called "The Place" still survives today.
The lumber produced by the saw mill found a ready market in New York City. By 1679, two years after Carpenter's purchase from the Indians was officially ratified by the colonial New York government, the mill was producing nine different thickness of boards and timber, as well as tile laths, shingle laths, wainscot, "feather-edged" boards for paneling, and custom-cut walnut for cabinet-making.
By this time the tiny group of settlers had grown considerably. A contributing factor to the sudden influx of settlers was King Philips’s War, which drove many out of New England for fear of their lives. In less than a decade after its settlement, the community of Musketa Cove had among its population carpenters, weavers, wool spinners, saddlers, tailors, millers, shipbuilders, and many tradesmen. They had their own town government, constable, overseers, Justice of the Peace and Recorder.
Some of the mill's accounts were recorded in the Musketa Cove Proprietor's Book, a hand- written record of the early settlers' land transactions and agreements. Musketa Cove Proprietor’s Book is an outstanding primary record; its pages contain a copy of the Andros Patent of 1677; references to minor land disputes with the Matinecock Indians, and family records of the Coles, Thornycraft and Carpenter families.
Some of the earliest entries are dated November 30, 1668; listed are certain Articles of Agreement signed by the five proprietors. The Proprietors agreed that “no trees shall be cut for pipe staves except as agreed upon by vote of the majority; no one shall put out hogs or cattle for summering except as agreed on by majority vote; only by vote of the majority shall any highway be built, lots laid out or fences erected.”
The saw mill built by the proprietors provided a major influx of capital from outside Glen Cove. A gristmill was built in 1677. The exports of the lumber industry were not the sole source of income, however. Colonial Governor Lord Bellomont wrote in 1699 to the Board of Trade in London describing Musketa Cove as one of the top four ports for smuggling on all of Long Island. Goods smuggled to avoid the high import taxes demanded by Mother England included brandy, rum and wine.
II - A Country Goes to War
Most Musketa Cove residents were at first uninterested in taking an active part in the Revolution. Prior to the incredible rout of the Patriot Army during the Battle of Long Island in August of 1776, more than 70 per cent of the local inhabitants attempted to remain neutral; of the remainder, only 12 per cent took the Patriot side, the other 18 per cent remaining loyal to English rule. But after the defeat of Washington's army at the Battle of Long Island in 1776, the fires of patriotism were lit. The local militia was reorganized as the "Musketa Cove Company of the Loyal Queens County Militia." Its officers wore red uniforms, with blue facings and silver buttons.
Long Island was one of the few places in North America that the British held uncontested throughout the Revolution, and as a result, dozens of British Provincial Corps (armed loyalists) and Hessian regiments were stationed on Long Island, housed in homes abandoned by Patriots who had fled the area. The population of Musketa Cove in the decade after the Revolution grew to nearly 250.
III – The Growth of Industry
The second major "industry," in Glen Cove, following the mills of the 17th and 18th century, was the mining of clay. About 1810, a local physician named Thomas Garvie, a native of Scotland, discovered that the large deposits of clay on his property (now called "Garvie's Point") were of sufficient quality for use in manufacturing pottery. Within a short time clay was being dug, and marketed in New York City, with some finding its way to the potteries of Huntington and Greenport. The discovery of clay furthered the use of the waterfront for both commercial shipping and commuter transportation.
In 1827, Dr. Thomas Garvie opened negotiations with Cornelius Vanderbilt to begin operating a steamboat between Glen Cove and New York City on a regular basis. In 1829 a daily steamboat run was made between Glen Cove and New York City. But many New York residents were reluctant to visit the town because they didn't realize that there was a difference between "mus-kee-tah" (this place of rushes) and "mosquito" (a rather pesky insect). A public meeting was held in 1834 to discuss the matter. Several possible names were suggested as alternatives. Local legend has always claimed that someone had suggested "Glen Coe," after a rather pretty spot in Scotland, which was misheard as "Glen Cove." The residents agreed to change the name to Glen Cove.
By the late 1850’s steamboat operation between New York and Glen Cove was in full swing. Glen Cove became a resort community. By the time of the Civil War there were half a dozen major hotels in Glen Cove, most centered near the steamboat landing (which was at the foot of Landing Road, within present day Morgan's Park). The largest of these was the Pavilion Hotel, which was used as a convalescent home during the Civil War for wounded soldiers. In addition to the hotels themselves, a number of "oyster saloons," taverns, and boarding houses opened in the Landing. The community catered to wealthy New York City residents who were beginning to build summer estate homes.
The Industrial Revolution did not reach Glen Cove until the 1850’s around the same time the Duryea Corn Starch Manufacturing Company relocated their main plant from Oswego to Glen Cove. The Duryea Starch Works sprawled over more than an acre and employed nearly 600 people. Employees lived in company-owned apartments, bought their food and clothes from the company store, and read the Glen Cove Gazette, which was printed at least part of its life on a press owned by the starch company. The Starch Works was not well loved by those Glen Cove residents who had no financial interest in it. The volumes of waste produced by converting corn into corn starch was flushed into Glen Cove Creek, where it settled to form a layer of putrefying, obnoxious-smelling organic detritus. The smell, pervasive in both the Glen Cove Landing and Sea Cliff, depending upon the wind, was irritating to resident and visitor alike.
IV – A Community Moves into the Twentieth Century
As with most of Glen Cove’s public institutions, the Glen Cove Public Library came from modest beginnings. It was founded in 1894, chartered in 1897, and housed in the public school building that had been built in 1893. The first librarian was Carolyn S. Reed, who would later marry another Coles descendant and would become the mother of the Robert R. Coles who established the library’s present historical collection. The library’s location changed over the years, and finally found its current home in 1959 next door to the Post Office. It now houses over 130,000 books, many videos, DVDs, music CDs, and offers an array of services to a community of over 25,000 residents.
By the beginning of the 20th Century the Glen Cove began to see an influx of wealthy industrialists, bankers and business people who built lavish estates, many along the waterfront. Some of the families had already established businesses in the City, including the Ladew family who built the Ladew Leather works, and the Duryeas of the Duryea Starch Works, but other wealthy residents came as well. JP Morgan, son of the industrialist, purchased an entire island, East Island where he established a palatial home. Charles Pratt of Standard Oil built a home in Glen Cove, as well as homes for seven of his eight children. Department store magnate Woolworth built Winfield Hall on Crescent Beach Road. These wealthy residents drew upon the rich pool of skilled and unskilled labor that was abundant in Glen Cove, and often built housing for their workers. Many of these estates are still standing and are in use today as schools, houses of worship and executive retreats.
For 250 years Glen Cove was part of the Town of Oyster Bay. But as the population grew to over 10,000 residents it became evident that the existing machinery of government was no longer adequate. On June 8, 1917 the Governor signed into law a bill proclaiming Glen Cove to be a City.
Since the time of the first settlers the Glen Cove community has progressed beyond anything its five original proprietors could have possibly imagined. Through wars, industrial revolutions, and changes in government it remains a thriving, growing City moving steadily into the Twenty-first Century.

WIKIPEDIA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Cove,_New_York
Glen Cove is a city in Nassau County, New York on the North Shore of Long Island.

Glen Cove was used as a port by English migrants from New England and named "Moscheto" before 1668. On May 24, 1668 Joseph Carpenter of Warwick, Rhode Island purchased about 2,000 acres (8.1 km) of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay from the Matinecock. Later in that year he admitted four co-partners into the project: three Coles brothers, Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert; and Nicholas Simkins, all residents of Oyster Bay. The five young men named the settlement Musketa Cove. In the Lenape language musketa meant “place of rushes.” The five men are considered the five original proprietors of Musketa Cove Plantation.

In the 1830s, steamboats started regular service on Long Island Sound between New York City and Musketa Cove, arriving at a point still called "The Landing." As "Musketa" was negatively associated with mosquito, in 1834 village residents changed the name to Glen Cove (said to be the misheard suggestion "Glencoe", after the Scottish glen) now Glencoe, Scotland. The village added population as workers arrived for jobs at the Duryea Corn Starch factory, which operated until 1900. The name "Duryea" was once suggested as a village name to replace Mosquito Cove but rejected.

By 1850 the village of Glen Cove had become a popular summer resort community for New York City residents. The Long Island Railroad was extended to Glen Cove in 1867, providing quicker, more frequent service to New York City. The availability of the train and the town's location on Long Island Sound made it attractive to year-round residents, and the population increased. On June 8, 1917, Glen Cove became an independent city, separating from the Town of Oyster Bay after 250 years.

Hannah Carpenter

INTRO: (A recap of the info below)
Hannah Carpenter (William ) was born on 3 Apr 1640 in Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony. She died not long before 8 Jun 1673 in Musketa Cove (a plantation in Oyster Bay Township; now in the town of Glen Cove, Nassau Co.), Long Island, NY.
Hannah married Joseph Carpenter, about 1658 (not 21 Apr 1659) in Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. Joseph was born about 1638 in Providence Plantation (now in Providence Co., RI), son of William1 and Elizabeth (Arnold) Carpenter of Providence. He died between 15/17 Feb 1682/3 and 15 Mar 1683/4 in Musketa Cove.

HANNAH3 CARPENTER (William2 of Rehoboth, William1) was born at Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, on 3 2nd month [April] 1640 and died not long before 8 June 1673, probably at Musketa Cove (then a plantation in Oyster Bay Township; now the town of Glen Cove, Nassau County), Long Island, Province of New York. She married probably at Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, ca. 1658 (not on 21 April 1659), JOSEPH2 CARPENTER, born about 1638 (aged 26 in 1664), probably at Providence Plantation (not 1635, in England), and died intestate at Musketa Cove between 15 or 17 February 1682[/3] and 15 March 1683/4, son of William1 and Elizabeth (Arnold) Carpenter of Providence (Pawtuxet section, now in Cranston), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. 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; New Amsterdam; Gravesend, Long Island; and Oyster Bay (TAG 70:201, 204; RILE 1:47, 50-51; NEHGR 159:64n47, 67-68; PrTR 6:138, 141, 144, 147-48; PubRIHS 4:197; NYChR 29; WMM-MM A:24; FMM-VR 78; OBTR 1:99, 411-12, 640-41, 642-44, 2:702; see also DEATH, MARRIAGE, and COMMENTS sections, below; Joseph2 Carpenter notes, BIRTH, DEATH, MARRIAGES, 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.]

DEATH: That Hannah Carpenter had died by 8 June 1673 is deduced from husband Joseph's deed of that date, in which he, "of Muskeeto Cove In Longe-Island," conveys to "my Brother in Law Abyah Carpenter of Pawtuxet in Rhode-Island Collony . . . Lands and Commonage [there] which Fell to me by my wife . . . from her father"; Hannah is not a cosignatory (RILE 1:47). (For bequests to Hannah from her father, William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth, see PCPR 2:1:80-81 or MD 14:231-32 [transcr.].)

MARRIAGE: The secondary literature's oft-repeated date of Hannah's marriage, 21 April 1659, is highly suspect. Supporting evidence is never presented, nor has any been found. It is, moreover, the date on which the will of Hannah's father, William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth, was proved at Plymouth, presumably upon presentation by her mother, as "Exequitrice" (PCPR 2:1:80, 83; MD 14:231, 233). Initial confusion and subsequent repetition have thus given Hannah's marriage a widely accepted date that actually pertains to another event--one that would have absented her mother (and probably one or more brothers) from Rehoboth on the alleged date of the marriage.

References in the will of William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth to "Cozen Carpenter" and "my brother Carpenter"-presumably Joseph2 and his father, William1 of Providence, respectively-have given rise to claims that Hannah and Joseph were first or second cousins. Recent Y-DNA test results virtually eliminate either possibility, however, showing with 95 percent certainty that the couple's nearest common Carpenter ancestor preceded their respective fathers by between two and twenty generations (Carpenter Cousins; William2 of Rehoboth notes, COMMENTS). The term _cousin_ was used broadly at this time, often to denote _kinsman_, or relative by marriage. _Brother_ was sometimes used similarly: in two letters written in 1636 to his namesake son, for example, Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop calls the stepfather of the younger Winthrop's then wife, Elizabeth Reade, "my brother [Hugh] Peter" (WP 269, 275; Davis 212-13, 215; NEHGR 88:301). The quoted phrases above thus almost certainly reflect relationships created by the couple's having married _before_ the partially dated will was made, no later than 10 December 1658 (see William2 of Rehoboth notes, WILL/ESTATE).

RESIDENCES: Weymouth; Rehoboth (1644); Warwick (Pawtuxet section), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (ca. 1658); Musketa Cove (probably late 1668: husband Joseph was of Pawtuxet on 7 November and of Musketa Cove on 30 November). It was presumably when Hannah married Joseph2 Carpenter that they left the homes of their respective families of origin--hers at Rehoboth, his at Providence (Pawtuxet section)--and settled on the southern, Warwick side of the Pawtuxet River, which at its mouth bisects the village that is its namesake (WarTR1 162-63, 176-77; WarTR2 153-54; RILE 50-51; OBTR 1:42-43, 629-32, 641, 2:682-83; NEHGR 159:56n4; PawWeb; Carpenter [1901] 31-32).

EDUCATION: Among the bequests to Hannah from her father are three books: "her Bible; the practice of Pietie and the Returne of Prayers" (MD 14:231-32). (Lewis Bayly's _The Practice of Piety: A Puritan Devotional Manual, Directing a Christian How to Live, That He May Please God_ was first published in 1611; Thomas Goodwin's _The Return of Prayers: A Treatise, Wherein This Case, How To Discern God's Answers to Our Prayers, Is Briefly Resolved . . ._ first appeared in 1651.)

CHILDREN: Numbers i-iv born probably at Pawtuxet (Warwick); birth order uncertain.

i. HANNAH3 CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 (parents m. ca. 1658) and say 1661/2, living Musketa Cove 19 March 1719/20 (husband's will); m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 17 Feb. 1682[/3?] (probably by 14 Jan. 1681[/2?]), WILLIAM THORNYCRAFT, b. probably Warwick, d. Musketa Cove between 6 April 1720 (sold land) and 19 Dec. 1728 (will proved), son of Thomas and Jean? (______) Thornycraft of Warwick (by 1647) and Maspeth Kills, Newtown (now Elmhurst, Queens Co.), L.I. (NYWills 11:80; MARRIAGE, above; WarTR1 1-296 passim [215, 217]; WarTR2 29, 141, 251, 252, 329; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357; OBTR 1:378, 6:654; NYGBR 64:31, citing NTR [1:]158).
On 17 February 1682 [probably 1682/3], William Thornycraft conveyed "twenty Accars of Land unto _his father in Law_ Joseph Carpenter . . . for and in Consideration of fifty Accars of Land in hand and reseaved, of _his father_ Joseph Carpenter" (emphases added) (OBTR 1:643; Carpenter [1901] 45 omits portion of quoted passage following ellipsis points). On the same date, Carpenter, in an exchange of fifty-acre lots with Nicholas Simkins, obtained the parcel he gave to Thornycraft, abutting the twenty acres his son-in-law gave him in return (OBTR 1:642-44). Thornycraft's right to the twenty acres of woodland he traded to Joseph Carpenter had been granted to him on 14 Jan. 1681[/2?] by a deed from the five Musketa Cove proprietors, including Carpenter (OBTR 1:639-40). It is doubtful that this grant to Thornycraft--also including "A sartin peece or parsell of Land whare hee now Inhabitts and Builtt upon for A home Lott as within fenc Allredy InClosed" and a parcel of upland--would have been made until he had married (in which case he need not have been twenty-one to receive it). The lots Thornycraft and Carpenter exchanged were adjacent and thus presumably of comparable quality. From this, the transfers' transaction date, and a gift of land made by Joseph Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) earlier (see no. ii, below), it is reasonable to conclude that the thirty acres Thornycraft gained from the trade was a marriage settlement from his father-in-law. The will of William Thorneycraft Sr. of Musketa Cove, dated 19 March 1719/20 and proved 19 Dec. 1728, names wife Hannah; sons William, Joseph, and Thomas; and daughters Hannah Washburn, Elizabeth Pellam (Pelham), Mary Thorneycraft, Jane Carpenter [m. cousin Silas, son of William (no. iv, below)], and Phebe Thorneycraft; the witnesses were Mary Carpenter, Thomas Pearsall, and Joseph Carpenter (NYWills 11:80, 85).
ii. THOMASIN/TAM(A)SIN CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and say 1662/3, living Madnan's Neck, Hempstead (now Great Neck, North Hempstead), L.I., 30 Jan. 1710, 9 Anne [regnal year], i.e., 30 Jan. 1710/11; m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 13 Feb. 1682[/3], as his second wife, JOHN WILLIAMS, d. Madnan's Neck shortly before 4 April 1705 (widow granted letters of adm.), son of Robert and Sarah (Washburn) Williams of Hempstead and Lusum (Jericho, in Oyster Bay) (HempTR 2:395-97; OBTR 1:187-88, 272, 458-60, 625-27, 641; Cock-Cocks-Cox 371; NYWills 1:118, 403-4; TAG 36:62; Washburn Gen 95-99, citing HempCtR 78-83).
The evidence that Thomasin (Mrs. John) Williams was Joseph and Hannah Carpenter's daughter is circumstantial: On 13 Feb. 1682[/3], Joseph Carpenter Sr. conveyed by a deed of gift to John Williams, a cordwainer (shoemaker) "now Residing on ye same place[,] foure Accars of Land . . . on ye north side of the highwaye Against my now dwelling house" (OBTR 1:641). Taken together, the nature of the transfer, the lot's location and Williams's prior occupation of it, and a similar transaction made by Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) later (see no. i, above) strongly suggest that the gift was a marriage settlement. On 13 May 1686, John Williams of Madnan's Neck sold to Joseph Carpenter fifty acres at Matinecock, "w[i]thin ye pattent & Township of Oysterbay"; John and Tamsun Williams signed the deed by mark (OBTR 1:483-84). Letters of administration on the estate of John Williams of Madnan's Neck, deceased, were granted to wife Tamasan on 4 April 1705; his estate inventory was exhibited by Thomasan Williams, administratrix, on 15 Sept. 1705 (NYWills 1:322, 403-4, 16:35 [corrections]). On 19 March 1705/6, Tamson Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, purchased fifty acres of woodland in Oyster Bay (OBTR 3:188-90). "Tamisen Williams the widow & Relick [sic] of John Williams of madnans neck," purchased 300 acres of woodland on the Byram River in Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., on 20 May 1707 (not 12 May 1706) (WeLR C:430; NYGBR 51:254; Carpenter [1901] 47 [12 May 1706]). On 30 Jan. 1710[/11], the town of Hempstead quitclaimed to Thomasin Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, 66 acres "in her full and peaceable posesion being" (HempTR 2:395-97).
Daniel H. Carpenter says that Thomasin "was probably named for her great-aunt 'Tomazin'" who "came over in 1635 . . . [and] is believed to have been an elder sister of William of Providence" (see Carpenter [1901] 45-46, 46n). This statement is presumably based on the tenuous assumption that because a Carpenter woman of that forename and a male Carpenter from William1's English home were recorded as emigrants about a week apart--William1 arrived in New England probably the following year (though not under the circumstances stated by D. H. Carpenter)--all three must be closely related (see Carpenter [1901] 5, 9, 46n; NEHGR 159:67-68). On 13 April (not 15 May) 1635, Tomazin Carpenter, aged 35, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the _Susan & Ellen_ (Hotten 57 [13 April], 59; Carpenter [1901] 5 [15 May]). Thomas Carpenter of Amesbury [in Wiltshire], carpenter, was among those who registered at Southampton "in and aboute" 6 April 1635 for passage to New England on the _James_ (PRO/TNA CO1/8/183-85, at 185; Coldham 133-34; NEHGR 14:332-33 and Carpenter [1901] 5 erroneously have 5 April). The _Susan & Ellen_'s passenger list gives no indication of Tomazin's origin, however, and nothing more is known of her (or of Thomas--unless he was actually the eventual William1 of Providence [in whose sketch see IMMIGRATION]). But if she was closely related to William of Providence, it is reasonable to suppose that she, too, was from Amesbury or thereabout. In that case, one would expect her and so-called Thomas of Amesbury to have sailed together or at least to have embarked from the same port. That they did neither renders what was never more than a possibility all the more remote. Ironically, Joseph's daughter Thomasin may well have been named after a slightly more-distant aunt on the other side of his family: his maternal grandfather, William1 Arnold, had a sister Thomasine/Tamzen, who remained in England (NEHGR 33:427-28, 69:67).
iii. JOSEPH CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and 9 July 1663 (perhaps by 13 Feb. 1661/2), d. Musketa Cove between 9 Sept. 1687 (quitrent payment) and 6 Jan. 1691 [probably 1691/2]; m. by 1685 (1st known child b. 16 Oct.) (OBTR 2:337, 350-51).
That records dated in mid-Feb. 1682[/3] call his father Joseph "Sr:" or "Sen:" suggests that Joseph (Jr.) was by then of age (OBTR 1:640-41; DEATH, par. 3, above). He was certainly so by 9 July 1684, when he and his mother were named administrators of his father's estate (Hist Mss 130). He was "late deceased" when a "memorandum" of the birth, on 16 Oct. 1685, of his "Eldest son and Heire," Joseph, was recorded at the top of a page also containing a record dated 6 Jan. 1691 (OBTR 2:350-51).
The identity of Joseph's wife is at best uncertain. The wife Ann(e) that D. H. Carpenter attributes to him was probably his stepmother, Ann (Weekes) Carpenter (see Carpenter [1901] 44; OBTR 1:644-47, 2:127-29, 650-51). Hinshaw gives Joseph's namesake son's mother as Anne, but while his main sources are original Quaker records, they are supplemented by others, some secondary (see Quaker Gen 1, 391). The younger Joseph's Musketa Cove birth record does not name his mother, and the otherwise informative Quaker record of his death names neither parent (see OBTR 2:350; Carpenter [1901] 64n and Hazard Index, both citing WMM-VR A:159). It is therefore probable that Hinshaw's identification of the younger man's mother as Anne derives ultimately from the D. H. Carpenter volume. Note, however, that the younger Joseph's first daughter was named Ann (Quaker Genealogy 391; Carpenter [1901] 66, 93). D. H. Carpenter's further supposition concerning the elder Joseph's wife--(having previously thought she was a daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Weekes) Simpkins)-- "we now think she was daughter of Thomas Thornycraft and sister to William Thornycraft"--is unsupported, as is the assertion of another author (whose Carpenter section builds upon Carpenter [1901]) that she was probably Mary Thornycraft (see Carpenter [1901] 44; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357).
The subject Joseph had a second son, Thomas, who is said by D. H. Carpenter to have been born on 16 Aug. 1687 (OBTR 3:344-45 [1708 quitclaim, Joseph to "my Brother Thomas"]; Carpenter [1901] 44 [b. 15 Aug.], 67; Haviland Gen 110). Seeming to confirm this is the 1 Jan. 1859 account by Sarah C. Field (1797-1879) of a family record then in her possession or that of her mother, Jane (Haviland) Field (1765-1860), giving Thomas's birth date as "8 mo., 16th day, 1687" (Haviland Gen 186). Prior to 1752, however, the eighth month was not August but October (as consistent with the latter's Latin origin). Without informing the reader of his translations, D. H. Carpenter expresses with named months many dates that are actually recorded with numbered ones (including all those from Quaker records). Because his conversions of pre-1752 numbered-month dates are mistakenly based on modern reckoning, they are consistently off by two months. Note, however, that Thomas's corrected birth date, 16 October 1687, contains the same day and month as his brother Joseph's (see above). So while the October date is more reliable than the August one, the former should nevertheless be regarded with some caution. Thomas certainly had been born by 26 Nov. 1687: he and brother Joseph sold land to their uncle Nathaniel on 26 Nov. 1708 (OBTR 3:310-12).
The aforementioned family record gives the date of Joseph3's son Thomas's marriage as "10 mo., 14th day, 1708" [14 Dec. (not Oct.) 1708] (Haviland Gen 110 [Oct.], 186 [10 mo.]; see also Carpenter [1901] 67 [Oct.]). While his wife is identified therein only as Hannah, several secondary sources have her as Hannah Alsop, daughter of Thomas [sic] and Hannah (Underwood) Alsop (see, for example, Haviland Gen 110; Carpenter [1901] 67). This is doubly incorrect, however: First, the secondary literature has long accepted (albeit without documentation) that Hannah Underwood married the immigrant Richard Alsop; the earliest Thomas Alsop was their son, born in 1687 (also Thomas Carpenter's birth year), who married Susannah Blackwell (GMB 3:1862, 1863; Alsop Gen 3, 4; Underhill Gen 65). And second, Richard and Hannah Alsop's daughter Hannah married Joseph Sackett (Alsop Gen 2 [Richard Alsop will (transcr.), naming dau. Hannah Sackett], 4; Underhill Gen 66). There was a marriage between a Thomas Carpenter, son of Joseph, and a Hannah Alsop, daughter of Richard, but it occurred in 1777 (Hazard Index, citing WMM-VR A:250). The identity of Hannah, wife of the subject Thomas Carpenter, is unknown.
iv. WILLIAM CARPENTER, b. by 3 Sept. 1666 (freeholder by 3 Sept. 1687), living Oyster Bay Township 5 Aug. 1734; m. ELIZABETH _______ (OBTR 2:337, 3:429-31, 5:623-25; Carpenter [1901] 49n, 73).
On 13 May 1720, William sold his 81-acre Musketa Cove farm, "Reserveing to my Self Three Acres" (OBTR 3:429-31). On 8 May 1722, with son Silas (about whom more below), William purchased 375 acres on the Byram River at North Castle and Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., of which William was then "in possession" (Carpenter [1901] 49n, 73, both citing WeLR G:215-17). Subsequent records put William on Long Island in 1728/9 and in Oyster Bay Township from 1730/1 to 1734 (NYWills 11:85 [William Jr. of Long Island (implies presence at same place of Wm. Sr.)], 3 Jan. 1728/9]; OBTR 4:366-68 [William Jr., 5 March 1730/1], 5:75 [William Jr., 5 Aug. 1734], 623-25 [William Sr., 2 April 1734]).
William sold his farm (see above) "with ye ffree will and Consent of my Wife Elizabeth Carpenter," who added her signature (by mark) to his (OBTR 3:431). D. H. Carpenter calls it "a _possibility_ amounting to a _probability_" (his emphases) that Elizabeth was the daughter of William's uncle Ephraim Carpenter and says that she died about 1743 (Carpenter [1901] 50); he fails to support either assertion, however. G. W. Cocks says that Elizabeth's parentage is "not certainly known, but may have been Moses and Elizabeth (Weeden) Mudge, then of Musketa Cove, who had a dau. Elizabeth, b. 28/12 mo. (Feb.) 1674" (Cock-Cocks-Cox 358, 385). Note that this is expressed as no more than a possibility. There is, moreover, no known basis for the assertion that Moses and Elizabeth Mudge had a daughter Elizabeth, let alone that she was born on the date stated (which is not to say that either is necessarily false). An Elizabeth Mudge was born at Northampton, Mass., 10 Oct. 1673 and another at Charlestown, Mass., 12 March 1674, but their respective parents and husbands are not those of the same-named woman mentioned by Cocks (see Mudge Gen 46, 49; TAG 81:25; Charlestown Gens 2:693). In the most recent and authoritative account of Moses Mudge and his family, Gale Ion Harris, FASG (citing an unpublished typescript by Harry Macy Jr., FASG) presents Mudge's issue as consisting of two sons and no daughters (see TAG 81:18-30, at 24 [24n38 corrects Mudge Gen 48]). Elizabeth (Mrs. William) Carpenter's maiden name is unknown. And in any case, since the one known record in which her forename appears as William's wife is dated in 1720 (see above), it is not certain that she was the mother of his children.
The will of William's son Silas Carpenter of North Castle, dated 3 Jan. 1728/9 and proved 13 Feb. 1728[/9], names wife Jane [his cousin, dau. of William and Hannah (Carpenter) Thornycraft (see no. i, above)]; daughters Hannah and Phebe; sons William, Timothy, and Silas; and executors [brother-in-law] William Craft [formerly Thornycraft], [brother] William Carpenter Jr., both of Long Island, and wife Hannah [sic]; witnesses include [uncle] Nathaniel Carpenter (no. v, below) (NYWills 11:80, 85 [_Silas_ transcr. as _Giles_]). The will of William's son Joseph Carpenter of Oyster Bay, dated 25 Feb. 1727[/8?] and proved 21 March 1727/8, names wife Abigail [nee Robbins]; sons Joseph and John; and executors "my wife and her brother, John Robbins" (NYWills 11:101).
v. NATHANIEL CARPENTER, b. Pawtuxet (Warwick) or Musketa Cove between say 1668 and 10 Feb. 1672[/3?] (grantee 10 Feb. 1693[/4?]), d. North Castle 25 2nd mo. [April (not Feb.)] 1730; m. Musketa Cove 5 Nov. 1690, TAMAR COLES, b. 18 May 1673, dau. of Robert and Mercy (Wright?) Coles (OBTR 1:652-53, 655, 2:101-3; FMM-VR 220; MacDonough-Hackstaff 455).
Nathaniel is said to have been probably the first white child born at Musketa Cove (see Carpenter [1901] 43, 50). This, however, is based on the unsupported assertion that he was born in the summer of 1668 and the questionable assumption that both parents had settled on Long Island by that time (see Carpenter [1901] 50; OBTR 2:682; RESIDENCES, above). The record of his death calls him Nathaniel "Juner," but the only other man of that name known to have been residing at North Castle at the time was his son, who died in late 1758 (see FMM-VR 220; Quaker Gen 63; NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85). An item in the 1 Jan. 1759 issue of the _New-York Mercury_ is often said online to refer to the elder Nathaniel but in fact concerns the estate settlement of his recently deceased son. Naming "Captain Nathaniel Carpenter, deceas'd, of North-Castle, in Westchester County, and Province of New-York," the notice was placed by Caleb Fowler and Caleb Green, "Executors, in said County" (Hist Newspapers). The latter two men were brothers-in-law of the younger Nathaniel, whose will names them as executors (NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85-86).

D. H. Carpenter gives Joseph and Hannah a sixth child: Hannah, "born 1672-3, married Jacob Hicks in 1690" (Carpenter [1901] 43). A few secondary sources state that the maiden name of Jacob Hicks's wife was Carpenter, but not all give her parentage, and none presents supporting evidence (see, for example, Mott Gen 372; Shotwell Gen 237, 280; Cornell Gen 383; Seaman-Husband 84). In his will, dated in 1751, Jacob Hicks's bequests to wife Hannah include "all the goods she brought with her when married" (NYWills 5:93-94). The quoted phrase implies that Hannah (whatever her maiden name) was not Hicks's first wife and probably married him long after his children were born (at Hempstead between 1702--making a 1690 marriage date unlikely [see above]--and about 1718) (see Colonial Fams 3:1330). More to the point, however, the Carpenter daughter whom D. H. Carpenter is unable to identify by forename but correctly describes as having married William Thornycraft is almost certainly the woman whom Thornycraft's will calls "my wife Hannah" (see Carpenter [1901] 43; NYWills 11:80; child no. i, above).

For Joseph's children with Ann Weekes, see Joseph2 Carpenter (William1 of Providence) notes.

COMMENTS: 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 Pawtuxet (Warwick) land from an Indian sachem to their father, at least two and probably all three siblings were minors (see WarTR2 80-81). 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 NEHGR 159:67-68.

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 still living at this time (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).

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: See, for example, Bill Bleyer, "The Daily Grind," online at ; Howard Chapin, "Early House Lots in the Town of Warwick," _Rhode Island Historical Society Collections_ 12:4(Oct. 1919):129-36; Robert Reed Coles and Peter Luyster Van Santvoord, _A History of Glen Cove_ (Glen Cove, 1967); Don D'Amato, "Warwick's Villages & Historic Places: Conimicut Village," links to pts. 2 and 3, online at ; Oliver P. Fuller, _The History of Warwick, Rhode Island_ (Providence, 1875) (caveat [see below]); _Harris Papers_, Collections of the Rhode Island Historical Society, vol. 10 (Providence, 1902); Antonia Petrash, Carol Stern, and Carol McCrossen, "History of Glen Cove," online at . The Fuller volume is useful but contains inaccuracies: Hannah's mother-in-law, Elizabeth (Arnold) Carpenter, for example, is omitted from an account of the family of William1 Arnold, to whom is attributed a nonexistent son Thomas (p. 16); William1 Arnold and William1 Carpenter of Pawtuxet village, Providence, are mistakenly listed with Robert Coles and Benedict Arnold as residents of the Warwick part of the village (p. 137).

29. Thomasin or Tam"a"sin or Tamsen Carpenter

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky Ojai, California, 2009

Children of Joseph2 and Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter, i-iv born probably at Pawtuxet (Warwick) (birth order uncertain):

ii. THOMASIN/TAM(A)SIN CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and say 1662/3, living Madnan's Neck, Hempstead (now Great Neck, North Hempstead), L.I., 30 Jan. 1710, 9 Anne [regnal year], i.e., 30 Jan. 1710/11; m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 13 Feb. 1682[/3], as his second wife, JOHN WILLIAMS, d. Madnan's Neck shortly before 4 April 1705 (widow granted letters of adm.), son of Robert and Sarah (Washburn) Williams of Hempstead and Lusum (Jericho, in Oyster Bay) (HempTR 2:395-97; OBTR 1:187-88, 272, 458-60, 625-27, 641; Cock-Cocks-Cox 371; NYWills 1:118, 403-4; TAG 36:62; Washburn Gen 95-99, citing HempCtR 78-83).
The evidence that Thomasin (Mrs. John) Williams was Joseph and Hannah Carpenter's daughter is circumstantial: On 13 Feb. 1682[/3], Joseph Carpenter Sr. conveyed by a deed of gift to John Williams, a cordwainer (shoemaker) "now Residing on ye same place[,] foure Accars of Land . . . on ye north side of the highwaye Against my now dwelling house" (OBTR 1:641). Taken together, the nature of the transfer, the lot's location and Williams's prior occupation of it, and a similar transaction made by Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) later (see no. i, above) strongly suggest that the gift was a marriage settlement. On 13 May 1686, John Williams of Madnan's Neck sold to Joseph Carpenter fifty acres at Matinecock, "w[i]thin ye pattent & Township of Oysterbay"; John and Tamsun Williams signed the deed by mark (OBTR 1:483-84). Letters of administration on the estate of John Williams of Madnan's Neck, deceased, were granted to wife Tamasan on 4 April 1705; his estate inventory was exhibited by Thomasan Williams, administratrix, on 15 Sept. 1705 (NYWills 1:322, 403-4, 16:35 [corrections]). On 19 March 1705/6, Tamson Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, purchased fifty acres of woodland in Oyster Bay (OBTR 3:188-90). "Tamisen Williams the widow & Relick [sic] of John Williams of madnans neck," purchased 300 acres of woodland on the Byram River in Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., on 20 May 1707 (not 12 May 1706) (WeLR C:430; NYGBR 51:254; Carpenter [1901] 47 [12 May 1706]). On 30 Jan. 1710[/11], the town of Hempstead quitclaimed to Thomasin Williams of Madnan's Neck, widow, 66 acres "in her full and peaceable posesion being" (HempTR 2:395-97).
D. H. Carpenter says that Thomasin "was probably named for her great-aunt 'Tomazin'" who "came over in 1635 . . . [and] is believed to have been an elder sister of William of Providence" (see Carpenter [1901] 45-46, 46n). This statement is presumably based on the tenuous assumption that because a Carpenter woman of that forename and a male Carpenter from William1's English home were recorded as emigrants about a week apart--William1 arrived in New England probably the following year (though not under the circumstances stated by D. H. Carpenter)--all three must be closely related (see Carpenter [1901] 5, 9, 46n; NEHGR 159:67-68). On 13 April (not 15 May) 1635, Tomazin Carpenter, aged 35, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the _Susan & Ellen_ (Hotten 57 [13 April], 59; Carpenter [1901] 5 [15 May]). Thomas Carpenter of Amesbury [in Wiltshire], carpenter, was among those who registered at Southampton "in and aboute" 6 April 1635 for passage to New England on the _James_ (PRO/TNA CO1/8/183-85, at 185; Coldham 133-34; NEHGR 14:332-33 and Carpenter [1901] 5 erroneously have 5 April). The _Susan & Ellen_'s passenger list gives no indication of Tomazin's origin, however, and nothing more is known of her (or of Thomas--unless he was actually the eventual William1 of Providence [in whose sketch see IMMIGRATION]). But if she was closely related to William of Providence, it is reasonable to suppose that she, too, was from Amesbury or thereabout. In that case, one would expect her and so-called Thomas of Amesbury to have sailed together or at least to have embarked from the same port. That they did neither renders what was never more than a possibility all the more remote. Ironically, Joseph's daughter Thomasin may well have been named after a slightly more-distant aunt on the other side of his family: his maternal grandfather, William1 Arnold, had a sister Thomasine/Tamzen, who remained in England (NEHGR 33:427-28, 69:67).

EPHRAIM2 CARPENTER (William1 of Providence), b. Providence Plantation say 1642, d. probably West Neck (in south Oyster Bay), between 20 Feb. 1697/8 and 8 Jan. 1702/3; m. (1) probably Pawtuxet (Providence), by 1666 (perhaps by 1663), SUSANNAH HARRIS, d. before 3 Dec. 1677, dau. of William1 and Susannah (Hyde) Harris; (2) Oyster Bay, 3 Dec. 1677, SUSANNAH (WOOD) ENGLAND (widow of Josiah), d. probably Musketa Cove, before 1 July 1693 (in 1684?), dau. of John1 and Elizabeth (______) Wood of Portsmouth, R.I.; (3) by 1 July 1693, LYDIA _______, said (not proved) to be Lydia Dickinson, b. 5 Oct. 1662, dau. of John and Elizabeth (Howland) Dickinson (OBTR 1:235, 2:41-43, 71-73, 76-77, 613-14, 624-25; PrTR 5:42-44, 7:190-96, 10:43-44, 14:61, 202; TG 20:168-69; John Wood 10-16; MD 54:27-28; Austin 36).

D. H. Carpenter mistakenly asserts that Ephraim's first recorded appearance is as a witness to a Providence deed on 5 Feb. 1661 (see Carpenter [1901] 314; PrTR 1:82-83). Implicit in author Carpenter's estimate of Ephraim's birth year as about 1640 is the false assumption that to have witnessed this deed he must have been at least 21 years old. On 9 Feb. 1657[/8?], he witnessed (with siblings Joseph and Lydia) a deed of Pawtuxet (Warwick) land to his father; Ephraim was unquestionably a teenager at the time (as above, children as young as 14 could witness documents) (see WarTR 80-81). He was most likely still a minor when he witnessed a deed in each of May and August 1660 and March 1660[/1?] (WarTR 81; PrTR 4:112-13, 14:254). Ephraim had certainly come of age, however, by the time he was admitted a Providence freeman, on 2 May 1666 (PrTR 15:73). Ephraim and his father were the only Carpenters among Providence householders who swore allegiance to King Charles II on 31 May 1666 (PrTR 3:101, 15:104-5).

In his will, dated 20 Feb. 1697/8, Ephraim2's namesake son, of Pawtuxet (Providence), bequeaths all his real estate to "my Honrd: ffather Ephraim Carpenter, now inhabetant at long Jsland" (PrTR 7:190-91). Except for his clothing, horse, saddle, bridle, and 4 bushels of oats (all willed to his uncle Silas's widow, Sarah), he also leaves his personal estate to his father. On 8 Jan. 1702/3, however, "Susannah Arnold sister of . . . [testator] Ephraim Carpenter, & wife of Elisha Arnold of Providence . . . the Reall, true, & lawfull heires of the Estate of ye deceased Testator" acknowledged receipt of "all ye Remnant of the Estate . . . which was left after all charges was Defraied" (PrTR 5:42-44). Although Ephraim2 is not mentioned, it seems clear that his son's bequests to him had been invalidated by the father's death and intestacy, prompting the distribution of Ephraim3's estate to his sister and only surviving heir at law. Supporting this interpretation is that on 4 Sept. 1703, Josias Carpenter (presumably Ephraim3's half-brother, named for the latter's mother's first husband, Josiah England) sold several parcels of land at West Neck whose descriptions match those of lots previously acquired by Ephraim2 Carpenter (OBTR 1:387-89, 2:41-43, 71-73, 76-78, 624-25). And on 2 Nov. 1703, George Hewlett of Hempstead, L.I., deeded to Capt. Thomas Jones of Fort Neck (in south Oyster Bay) 1 3/4 meadow lots at the latter place that were "formerly Daniel Harcuts and after In possession of Ephraim Carpenter Deceased" (OBTR 2:613-14).

D. H. Carpenter states that Ephraim3 Carpenter was admitted a Musketa Cove [sic] inhabitant "in 1683 (at 21 years of age)" (see Carpenter [1901] 316). This is apparently the author's basis for estimating the younger Ephraim's birth date as about 1662 and his father's marriage date as about 1661 (see Carpenter [1901] 314, 316). Despite Ephraim2's having settled permanently in Oyster Bay about 1676, however, Ephraim3 was in Providence by 1684 and lived there (probably on land his father gave him in 1685) until 1693, when he took up residence at Musketa Cove; he was admitted an inhabitant of Oyster Bay on 5 Sept. 1694 ("to settle here at his own cost and Charge in order to Trading or [      ]") (PrTR 5:278-79, 14:202-3, 217-18, 259-63, 15:147, 17:44, 47, 48, 52, 102, 103, 21:33-35; OBTR 1:235, 575-76, 2:362). He bought a dwelling house and parcels of land in Oyster Bay on 30 March 1695 and sold them on 29 June 1696 (OBTR 2:192-93, 279-80). He then returned to Pawtuxet, where he died about a year and a half later (PrTR 7:190-96).

The earliest records of Ephraim3 at Providence are in 1684 tax lists and a 1685 deed of Providence lands from his father (of Musketa Cove), which "I . . . deliver into the actual possession of my [eldest] son Ephraim Carpenter" (PrTR 14:202-3, 17:44, 47, 48, 52 [compare relative amounts with 17:102, 103]). Ephraim3's taxation and receipt of land in these years, however, do not rule out the possibility that he was then a minor. Not until 27 May 1687, when Ephraim Carpenter of Providence sold to Clement King land left to Ephraim by his grandfather, William Carpenter, was he unquestionably 21, the legal age for disposing of property (PrTR 21:33-35; Blackstone 1:451). Based on these considerations, we infer that Ephraim3 had been born by 1666, perhaps by 1663. Logic dictates that we estimate the first marriage of our subject, Ephraim2, as having occurred by the same time.

In a testamentary deed dated 10 Nov. 1670, William Harris calls his daughter Susannah the wife of Ephraim Carpenter (PrTR 14:61). On 1 July 1693, Ephraim--with his then wife Lydia consenting--sold his Musketa Cove lands, including his home-lot (OBTR 2:72-73).

Ephraim is said to have been constable at Oyster Bay from 1681 or 1682 to 1687, but the township's records indicate otherwise (see Austin 36; Carpenter [1901] 315; OBTR 1:240, 253, 264, 265; 2:323, 330, 334). The only occasion on which he was named to a related office was on 2 April 1681, when Caleb Wright was named constable, and Ephraim became deputy constable for the plantation at Musketa Cove (OBTR 1:240-41).

OLD NOTES:

Number 4 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901.

Death: PLACE - "OysterBay, Queens, Long Island, NY"
!MARRIAGE: second marriage date Oct. 3 1677 or Dec. 3, 1677 at Oyster Bay
His marriage in 1677 to Susannah England was performed by Thomas Townsend
a Justice in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

CHILDREN: Children not proven: Elizabeth b. abt 1655 who married John Wheaton
on Sept. 14, 1674. and Timothy Carpenter who married Mercy Coles.

In 1666 he was a freeman of Rhode Island.  He moved to Musketa Cove in 1676
where on July 1, 1693 he and his wife Lydia (Dickinson) sold their home lot to
Derrick Albertson, reserving a right to the burial plot.  On Feb. 5, 1661 he
witnessed a deed from his father to William Vincent.  On Dec. 8, 1670, he had
a deed from his father at his farm at Rocky Hill, Rhode Island.  He served as a
Deputy in 1671-1672.  On Jan. 14, 1681 he began building a dwelling on land in
North Cove.  From 1681 to 1687 he served as a constable.  On Jan 11, 1684,
his wife Susannah received a legacy from the estate of her stepfather Hugh
Parsons.  See John O. Austin, "Genealogical dictionary of Rhode Island

49. Timothy Carpenter See Notes

For descendants see the "other" Timothy Carpenter born 19 Dec 1665 (RIN 12552)  in this
computer record.  See Notes below.
The descendants of Cotleb Zimmerman per James Usher and by 20th century
genealogists differ as to who his parents were.
Timothy as a child in this family is not proven, yet circumstantial evidence
is given by Amos B. Carpenter (1898 Carpenter Memorial) and by Charles L.
Carpenter, Rear Admiral USN Ret. (1976 Records) and the belief of
Raymond George Carpenter, Genealogist of the Carpenter Family.

MARRIAGE: He alledgedly married Mercy Coles, granddaughter of Robert and
Mary (Hawkhurst) Coles and possibly a daughter of John Coles.

Timothy was only 13 when he arrived in America and was too young to purchase
land or participate in municipal affairs.  It appears he engaged in the
cooperage business, in which his grandson, William and his great-grandson,
Seaman, also engaged in.
Timothy was a Quaker or Friend, was not allowed to have any kind of monument
erected to mark his place of burial.  No family plots for burial were allowed,
the dead were interred in rows, without regard to relationship, side by side.
For this reason it is inpossible to find his burial place.
The town records of Hempstead (ajoining north of Oyster Bay), Long Island were
destroyed by fire on the 31st of October 1797.

50. Elizabeth Carpenter See Notes

Elizabeth is not proven as a daughter in this family.
See the other Elizabeth Carpenter born abt 1655 in this record for spouse.
Raymond George Carpenter and others believe she is a daughter of Ephraim BUT...
Ephraim would have been about 15 years old and before any of his marriages.
Elizabeth did exist however and married John, son of Robert Wheaton of
Rehoboth, on Sept. 14, 1674 in Providence.
SOURCE: Records of Marriages in Providence, Rhode Island.
She would fit in as a sister to Ephraim, but she is not found in any known
record to that family.

MARRIAGE: Source is Providence, RI records of marriage.
SPOUSE; Elizabeth's parentage is uncertain.  Thus the double marriage.

11. Priscilla Carpenter

INTRO:
Priscilla Carpenter (William ) was born say 1644 in Pawtuxet (Providence), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. She died about 15 Nov 1690 probably in Providence, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Priscilla married William Vincent, son of Nicholas (not Thomas) and Frideswide (Carpenter) Vincent, on 31 May 1670 probably in Pawtuxet (Providence). William was christened on 17 Jun 1638 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England. He died after 21 Dec 1695 and before 1 Feb 1695/6 in Providence.

(The online version will be updated when appropriate; check the revision date.)  **Where other information herein conflicts with Zubrinsky's notes, his notes take precedence.**]

PRISCILLA2 CARPENTER (William1 of Providence), b. Pawtuxet (Providence) say 1644, d. probably Providence about 15 Nov. 1690; m. Providence (probably Pawtuxet section), 31 May 1670, [her cousin] WILLIAM VINCENT, bp. Amesbury, Wiltshire, 17 June 1638, d. Providence between 21 Dec. 1695 (will) and 1 Feb. 1695/6 (estate inv.), son of Nicholas (not Thomas) and Frideswide (Carpenter) Vincent. William m. (2) before 21 Dec. 1695, JEMIMA ______ (PrTR 5:294, 7:176-79, 20:231-33; RIVR 2:1[Providence]:37; AmParReg 1:n.p; Austin 213-14, 459).

The deed by which William Vincent sold to Timothy Carpenter a quarter share of a meadow lot inherited by William's wife Priscilla from her father, William1 Carpenter, ends with the following: "In Wittness . . . I the said William Vinsent & Priscilla My Wife doe hereunto set our handes & seales this fifteene day of November . . . 1690" (PrTR 6:144, 20:231-33; PrLR 2:95-96). Only William's name is subscribed, however, suggesting that Priscilla had died before she could formally consent to the sale of her legacy.

William Vincent's will, dated 21 Dec. 1695 and proved 3 March 1695/6, names "my wife Jemima" and "my three sonns, Thomas Nicholas & the youngest [William]" (PrTR 7:176-77). D. H. Carpenter claims that Vincent made another will, also dated in 1695 but previous to the official one, naming a son Jonas before the three children listed above (see Carpenter [1901] 321). No such document is found, however. (Perhaps Carpenter viewed both the "original," clerk's copy and the published transcription, misread _Thomas_ as _Jonas_ in the former, and in reviewing his notes, concluded that the two copies were of separate origin.)

In a deed of 64 acres to William Vincent, dated 5 Feb. 1661[/2?], William Carpenter calls Vincent his "Cousen" (i.e., nephew) (PrTR 1:82-83, 21:86).

12. Timothy Carpenter

INTRO:
Timothy Carpenter (William ) was born say 1646 in Pawtuxet (Providence), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. He died on 19 Aug 1726 in Pawtuxet (Providence).
Timothy married Hannah Burton, daughter of William and Hannah (Wickes) Burton, probably 1670 or 1671 in Providence. She died before Dec 1724 probably in Pawtuxet (Providence).

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2009

[These notes contain the most-authoritative information available as of January 2009. They appear in fully formatted form in the "Gene Zubrinsky" folder of the CE 2009 and also online at . (The online version will be updated when appropriate; check the revision date.)  **Where other information herein conflicts with Zubrinsky's notes, his notes take precedence.**]

TIMOTHY2 CARPENTER (William1 of Providence), b. Pawtuxet (Providence) say 1646, d. Pawtuxet (Providence) 19 August 1726; m. probably Providence 1670-1671, HANNAH BURTON, d. probably Pawtuxet (Providence) before 1 Dec. 1724 (not mentioned in husband's will), dau. of William and Hannah (Wickes) Burton (RIVR 2:1[Providence]:263; PrTR 7:170-73; WarTR 19, 140; PrPR 3:3-6; Austin 36, 266, 268, 420-21).

Timothy's three eldest siblings were minors when they witnessed a deed to their father on 9 Feb. 1657[/8?] (PrTR 80-81). Had Timothy then been at least 14 (the legal minimum age for witnessing documents), he, as a male, almost certainly would have replaced his sister Lydia in attesting to the document's legitimacy (see William1 of Providence notes, IMMIGRATION, par. 4, above). Timothy fails to appear on Providence freemen's lists (the last dated in 1669) and was not among that township's householders who swore allegiance to the king between 31 May 1666 and 29 April 1670 (PrTR 3:101-2; 15:104-5). He evidently became a householder sometime between the latter date and the last Monday in May 1671, when he (along with his brothers Silas and Benjamin and 20 other young men) affirmed his loyalty to the crown (see PrTR 3:199-200). That Timothy appears first in all documents in which he and his brothers Silas and Benjamin are named in succession (including their father's will and codicil) implies that he was older than they (PrTR 4:21-22, 5:115-16, 201-2, 6:141, 142, 143, 147, 21:33).

In his will, dated 30 (not 20) March 1703, William Burton mentions daughters Hannah Carpenter and Ethlannah Clarke (PrTR 7:170-72). In Timothy Carpenter's will, dated 1 Dec. 1724 and proved 19 Sept. 1726, he names daughters Ethalannah Sweet and Hannah Arnold among his legatees (PrPR 3:3-5; Austin 36).

(The online version will be updated when appropriate; check the revision date.)  **Where other information herein conflicts with Zubrinsky's notes, his notes take precedence.**]

SILAS2 CARPENTER (twin?) (William1 of Providence), b. Pawtuxet (Providence) ca. 1650-1651 (24 in 1675), d. Pawtuxet (Providence) 25 Dec. 1695 (leaving 4 children, all minors); m. probably Pawtuxet (Providence) say 1685-1688, his cousin SARAH ARNOLD, b. 26 June 1665, d. Pawtuxet (Providence), widow, 22 April 1742 (not 26 Nov. 1727), dau. of Stephen and Sarah (Smith) Arnold (PrTR 6:156-59, 194-209, 7:157-59, 10:61-62, 15:146; RIVR 2:1[Providence]:7, 209, 263). For evidence suggesting that Silas and his brother Benjamin were twins, see the latter's listing below.

Silas was a householder--though not necessarily 21 and evidently not married--when he made oath of his fidelity to the king on the last Monday in May 1671 (PrTR 3:199-200, 15:104-5 ["all hovse hovlderes inhabiting this Colloney take the : oath of allegiance . . . March : 4th : 1664"]). In a deposition taken on 28 April 1675 (not in 1674, as per D. H. Carpenter), Silas describes himself as aged 24 (PrTR 15:146; see also Carpenter [1901] 30n). He was admitted a Rhode Island freeman on 3 May 1681 (RICR 3:98). Despite D. H. Carpenter's claim that both the aforementioned deposition and Silas's gravestone give his birth year as 1650, the former simply has his age in 1675, and the latter's location, let alone inscription, is unknown (see Carpenter [1901] 30n; no mention of gravestone at 322-23 [Silas's detail pages]).

In his will, dated 22 Dec. 1695 (three days before his death) and belatedly presented for probate by widow Sarah on 8 April 1701, Silas calls Stephen Arnold his father-in-law (PrTR 6:157, 7:157-58, 10:61-62). Stephen Arnold's will, dated 2 June 1698, mentions daughter Sarah Carpenter (PrTR 6:205, 206, 210). D. H. Carpenter gives Sarah's date of death as 26 Nov. 1727 (see Carpenter [1901] 323). This, however, was another Sarah (Arnold) Carpenter: the daughter of Israel and Mary (Barker) (Smith) Arnold, she had married Silas's namesake son on 21 Dec. 1708 (RIVR 2:1[Providence]:7; PrBMD, citing PrVR 1:86, 434).

Pawtuxet means "Little Falls" in the native language, and this area was originally occupied by the members of the Sononoce Pawtuxet tribe, part of the larger Narragansett Indian nation, who used the area we know as Pawtuxet Neck as a feasting ground. In 1638, Rhode Island founder, Roger Williams,  purchased the property extending south from Providence to the Pawtuxet River. Shortly thereafter his followers; William Arnold, William Harris, William Carpenter, and Zachariah Rhodes, settled along the fertile meadows of the Pawtuxet.  Pawtuxet Village remains unique in that its northern section is in the town of Cranston, while its southern section is in another town, Warwick.

Priscilla Carpenter

INTRO:
Priscilla Carpenter (William ) was born say 1644 in Pawtuxet (Providence), Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. She died about 15 Nov 1690 probably in Providence, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Priscilla married William Vincent, son of Nicholas (not Thomas) and Frideswide (Carpenter) Vincent, on 31 May 1670 probably in Pawtuxet (Providence). William was christened on 17 Jun 1638 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England. He died after 21 Dec 1695 and before 1 Feb 1695/6 in Providence.

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2009

[These notes contain the most-authoritative information available as of January 2009. They appear in fully formatted form in the "Gene Zubrinsky" folder of the CE 2009 and also online at . (The online version will be updated when appropriate; check the revision date.)  **Where other information herein conflicts with Zubrinsky's notes, his notes take precedence.**]

PRISCILLA2 CARPENTER (William1 of Providence), b. Pawtuxet (Providence) say 1644, d. probably Providence about 15 Nov. 1690; m. Providence (probably Pawtuxet section), 31 May 1670, [her cousin] WILLIAM VINCENT, bp. Amesbury, Wiltshire, 17 June 1638, d. Providence between 21 Dec. 1695 (will) and 1 Feb. 1695/6 (estate inv.), son of Nicholas (not Thomas) and Frideswide (Carpenter) Vincent. William m. (2) before 21 Dec. 1695, JEMIMA ______ (PrTR 5:294, 7:176-79, 20:231-33; RIVR 2:1[Providence]:37; AmParReg 1:n.p; Austin 213-14, 459).

The deed by which William Vincent sold to Timothy Carpenter a quarter share of a meadow lot inherited by William's wife Priscilla from her father, William1 Carpenter, ends with the following: "In Wittness . . . I the said William Vinsent & Priscilla My Wife doe hereunto set our handes & seales this fifteene day of November . . . 1690" (PrTR 6:144, 20:231-33; PrLR 2:95-96). Only William's name is subscribed, however, suggesting that Priscilla had died before she could formally consent to the sale of her legacy.

William Vincent's will, dated 21 Dec. 1695 and proved 3 March 1695/6, names "my wife Jemima" and "my three sonns, Thomas Nicholas & the youngest [William]" (PrTR 7:176-77). D. H. Carpenter claims that Vincent made another will, also dated in 1695 but previous to the official one, naming a son Jonas before the three children listed above (see Carpenter [1901] 321). No such document is found, however. (Perhaps Carpenter viewed both the "original," clerk's copy and the published transcription, misread _Thomas_ as _Jonas_ in the former, and in reviewing his notes, concluded that the two copies were of separate origin.)

In a deed of 64 acres to William Vincent, dated 5 Feb. 1661[/2?], William Carpenter calls Vincent his "Cousen" (i.e., nephew) (PrTR 1:82-83, 21:86).

OLD NOTES:

Carpenter, 1901. Alternate marriage date: 31 May 1670.
It is possible she did not have any children with William Vincent.  Was she divorced?

BIRTH:
Born in NY per the 1850 and 1860 US Census
Born in RI per the 1870 and 1880 US Census
And born in CT per several of his children on their census records!

MARRIAGE:  abt 1828
No data on FSFT - no documentation found - maybe a bogus marriage? Likely.
BUT, see 1840 US Census where a family of 1 male, 2 females and 2 adults are present in what looks like a normal family unit.
NOTE:  In the 1850 US Census we have what appears to be 3 daughters from a previous marriage. Could one of those daughters be from the 2nd wife's previous marriage?  Or was the son listed in 1840 a female?  The last comment is because no male child has been identified.

22. Joseph Carpenter

A supposed James Joseph (more likely just Joseph) had a father named Aaron C. Carpenter and just as Aaron on the info below.  It has been assumed, but not proven that A. C. Carpenter, Number 1702 in the Carpenter Memorial was the father.  However, Y-DNA evidence does not support this.  Thus A.C. Carpenter and Aaron Carpenter are not the same person and had to be unmerged.

James Joseph Carpenter is not mentioned as a son in the CM.  See: page 408-409 (# 559).
Census and other records have him as ONLY as Joseph.  Compare RIN 184938
James was a son of A. C. Carpenter and they were merged into James Joseph Carpenter AND they are now unmerged.

NOTE:
Present day Lorain and Cuyahoga Counties are adjacent to each other.
Lorain County was created in 1822 from Cuyahoga, Huron and Medina counties.
Cuyahoga County was created in 1808 from Geauga County.
