MARRIAGE1:  The first given marriage to Abigail Rhodes is wrong per Gene Zubrinky. He writes: "..., you attribute to John4 a previous marriage, to Abigail Rhodes, dau. of John.  But you give the year of her death as 1684, which is four years AFTER his marriage to Mary, his only known wife.  There is, moreover, no record of an Abigail Rhodes, certainly not a daughter of John.  Someone apparently began substituting Abigail's name for Mary's, and the mistake has acquired a life of its own."  This marriage should be dismissed.

E-MAIL: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 From: Robin Carpenter .
I finally received from the NYS Archives a photocopy of John Carpenter's 1732 will (Jamaica LI NY).  [This is John #24 in Carpenter Memorial, 1658-1732.]  The copy quality of the will is very bad--so bad that the state
declined to cash my check--and a number of words are undecipherable.
This will was abstracted in the NY Gen & Biog Record, Vol 65 p.38, transcript of which abstract I have from "The Ancestry & Descendant of Col. Solomon Carpenter of Goshen NY" of 1974.  I'm sure the abstract has appeared elsewhere as well.
Overall, the abstract is a pretty good representation of the will (although it omits all the introductory pieties).  My interest in seeing the actual will was to clarify a confusion over the number and sequence of John's sons.  The abstract refers to sons Nehemiah, John of Goshen, Solomon of Goshen, Joseph, Increase, Nehemiah (again).  The abstract THEN paraphrases the will's reference to "my three sons."  HUH?  Is it three sons (reference), five (name count), or conceiveably six (if there were two Nehemiahs)?
The will makes it all pretty clear.  One item bequeaths to wife (Mary) and son Nehemiah.  Another item bequeaths to son "John Carpenter belonging to Goshen."  Another item bequeaths to "Solomon Carpenter belonging to Goshen."  Then an item bequeaths "...unto three sons Joseph Increase & Nehemiah Carpenter after the end of my Wifes Widdowhood all my meadow lying on Nether East Neck and my lot of land lying down(?) the Neck joining to the land of Jeremiah Denton to be equally divided between them to them and their heirs and assigns forever."
(The will literally says "Item" initiating each bequeathal statement separately.)
Later reference is made to "...equal charge with my three sons Joseph Increase & Nehemiah in sharing(?) my building as long as my Wife & I shall live."  Finally, after the homestead is (later) to be sold, there is reference to "...my three sons and four daughters Joseph Increase & Nehemiah & Mary Hannah Susanna & Phebe..." to split the proceeds equally.
Very clearly there are five sons.  Almost as clearly, John and Solomon are eldest and gone off on their own.  Finally, the sequence of the three youngest sons is pretty surely Joseph-Increase-Nehemiah.  (The sequence in ABC's Carpenter Memorial has Nehemiah first--which I would guess is because he is named first in John's Item #1, as described above, but which sequence I conclude is plainly wrong.)
Genealogist Raymond George Carpenter says that John #24 was married twice, 1st to Abigail Rhodes and 2nd to Mary who is named in the will.  John is 74 yrs old at his death, with one daughter (Hannah) who is unmarried although there are two younger sisters, and with three sons living at home.
Presumably they are all young adults.  It adds up, in my view, to wife Mary likely being the mother of these offspring, and Abigail Rhodes the mother of John & Solomon of Goshen.
Does anyone wish to concur with me in this?
Robin Carpenter.

...
Herbert F. Seversmith (one of the most respected genealogists of the first half or so of the 20th century) did an extensive revision of Amos B. Carpenter's work on John3 Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass., and Huntington, Hempstead, and Jamaica, L.I., and some of his descendants (_Colonial Families of Long Island, New York and Connecticut, _ 5 vols. [Washington, D.C., 1939-1958] 2:535-551; see also _The American Genealogist_ [TAG] 70[1995]:197n27, par. 2).  John3, incidentally, was baptized in the parish of Shalbourne, Wiltshire/Berkshire, England, 8 Oct. 1626, son of William2 and Abigail (Briant [not Bennett, Searles, etc.]) Carpenter (TAG 70:194, 203).
Seversmith presents evidence that John3's widow (and only known wife) Hannah was not a Hope but was the daughter of William1 Smith of Weymouth and Rehoboth, Mass., and Huntington and Jamaica, L.I. (2:549-50).  The widow (and only known wife) of John4 Carpenter (b. probably Huntington, L.I. [not Conn.], ca. 1655, son of John3) was not Abigail but Mary (as named in his will), presumably the daughter of John1 Rhodes, "who in his will named his daughter wife of John Carpenter" (Seversmith, 2:536, 550).  Seversmith estimates that their daughter Susannah--she is named in her father's will, which fails to mention a daughter Sarah--was born at Jamaica, L.I., about 1699 and says that she "is considered to have married Joshua Pettit of Hempstead" (2:543).

Mary Elizabeth "Elizabeth" Rhodes

AFN CVG1-23 (Elizabeth or Mary Rhodes) and NXGL-2V (Mary Rhodes) are the same
person.

NAME:
Mary Elizabeth Rhodes (abt 1663 of Long Island, NY - d. aft 1731), daughter of John Rhodes, Sr. married Captain John Carpenter, Jr. (b. abt 1655/1656 - d. 10 Jun 1732 Jamacia, Queens, LI, NY). While she is often referred to as Mary, her father used her middle name. This leads credance to her mother being named Mary.


91. Joseph Carpenter

Number 76 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 61.
He bought land in Jamacia in 1718; he bought land of his father in 1709, which
indicates he was born previous to 1668; he also buys and sells land in Jamacia
in 1720.  No family listed. Probably married Phebe, daughter of Wait Smith.

DEATH:
Not mentioned in his father's 10 June 1732 will. Nor is mention of any children from him. The assumption then is that he died sometime between 1709 and 1732 without children. Sadly we have no idea where or when he died other that this supposition.
Some genealogies give the death date of 16 Dec 1709 (undocumented). But this is inconsistent with him buying land from his father in 1718 and 1720 as reported above.
One online genealogy claims his deathwas 26 Feb 1718 but this have been disproven since that Joseph was the son of Joseph Carpenter and Margaret Sutton in addition being born in MA!

Top of Form 1 John Carpenter named in 1685 Jamaica, LI, NY will
Posted by: Fonda Baselt  (ID *****2419) Date: July 28, 2011 at 09:18:33
Does anyone have access to the following will? "Daughter Elizabeth, and son-in-law John Carpenter" are named in the will of John Rodes, Sr., of Jamaica, in his 4 Jul 1685 will. Also mentioned are his neighbors Nehemiah Smith and Daniel Denton. Did John and Elizabeth have children? Who is the father of this John Carpenter? History states tha many residents of Jamaica moved to Orange County, NY. An extraction of this will can be seen at

John Rodes, Sr., of Jamaica, on Long Island, being on bed of sickness. I leave to my son John my meadow and land notdivided, "and ye little house Goody Davis keeps schoole in," which he shall remove for a shop. I also leave him theremainder of the 10 acre lot I gave him part of, lying next to Nathaniel Denton's lot. I leave to my son Richard myhomestead, house, barn, and orchard, and 1/2 of my meadow and land undivided, in Jamaica, and 10 acres which I boughtof John Everett, lying next to my son John. Mentions his daughter Elizabeth, and son-in-law John Carpenter, and son-in-lawJohn Wood. I make my wife executor, and "she is to be comfortably maintained, she being weakly and unable to helpherself." "And I leave to my son Richard as my last charge to be careful and tender of his mother." I leave to my wife's sonJeremiah Hubbard, 20 shillings, and "I desire my children to keep peace, love and amity between them." I make myneighbors Nehemiah Smith and Daniel Denton, overseers. [Proved] July 4, 1685.


20. Capt. Hope Carpenter

NOTE: See father's notes for Gene Zubrinsky's data on this individual.

Number 25 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 50.
Family is number 14 on page 61.   He resided at Jamaica, LI.

WILL:
His will was dated 8 Jan 1712 and proved 23 Mar 1712.  An abstract of his will reads as follows: "Hope Carpenter, second son of first Captain John, by will gives to his wife Mary; and to his son Hope, five shillings, because he hath done so much for him already.  Sons Ashman, Hezekiah and John, land at Hopewell, near Burlington, NJ and also land in Jamaica.  Daughter  Hannah."
Hope had in his family from 1671 to 1688, one christianing and one burial.  Hope and his brother Samuel, among others refused to pay a tax in support of the Episcopal church and were arrested Feb. 25, 1703 and the matter kept in court till March 31, 1705 when it was dismissed.
Hope and Samuel were both Captains of the Militia in 1700, and appointed Ensigns by the Lt. Gov. on 10 Jan 1690.

AF has death date as 23 May 1712 but this is incorrect.  Also AF has father as Joseph but this is incorrect.

Farm and land in Hopewell, Burlington Co., [now Mercer Co.], and land in Jamaica Township; personal property. Executors--the wife, sons Asmon, Hezekiah, John, with Samuel Firl and Thos.

16 Aug 1713 Administration of the estate granted to John Muirhead, [husband of his daughter Hannah born in 1696] of Hopewell, who has purchased from the widow, Mary, and the three younger sons, Ashman, Hezekiah and John Carpenter, their several rights in the estate under the will.
13 Oct 1713 Hezekiah Carpenter, Hopewell, Burlington Co. [now Mercer Co.], blacksmith; will of. Wife Abigail and an expected child to inherit "All my estate." Executors: the wife, Thos. Byris and Jonathan Roberts. Witnesses: James Fitch, Edward Hart, Alexander Lockart. Proved 09 Dec 1713.
Hope Carpenter, Jr., settled in Elizabethtown, NJ. He had a daughter named Hannah or Nancy (both variations of Anne) born about 1741. The other family members all settled in Hopewell. Neither John nor Asmun appear to have had a daughter, Nancy. I think Nancy Carpenter, wife of William Updike, was the "expected" child of Hezekiah and Abigail Carpenter. William was born in Maidenhead, NJ, near Hopewell. William and Nancy Carpenter Updike had a son named Hope.
Can anyone confirm this theory?
Thanks for your help.

Note: "A memorandum dated 1 August 1691 states that Hope Carpenter, Jonas Woo d, John Roads and Samuel Carpenter were at a Court of Sessions held at J amaica, 8 October 1689 (the same day Jonas and Hope were chosen for the ir military positions), and that they were 'recorded guilty of a riot c ommitted in open Coet.' This refers to their acceptance of offices fro m the allegedly illegitimate Leisler government. 'They plead the act o f Assembly for pardoning all such as have been active in the late disor ders.' . . . [I]t seems unlikely that charges against them could have b een successfully sustained. Although Leisler was executed for insurrec tion, his supporters were pardoned by an act of the Assembly of New Yor k."

Event: Misc 25 FEB 1702/3 Jamaica, Queens County, New York
Note: Hope and Samuel Carpenter among others refused to pay a tax in support o f the Church of England, and were arrested Feb. 25, 1702/3; and on Marc h 31, 1705 one of the church wardens and nine of the vestrymen, includi ng Samuel Carpenter, were fined for refusing to impose the tax. The Ja maica congregation's dispute with the civil and religious authorities c ontinued for many years. It resulted from the New York Assembly's pass age of the Ministry Act in 1693, which established the Church of Englan d in the colony. The colonial authorities subsequently attempted to im pose the the Anglican form of worship on Congregationalist churches. T he Congregationalist church in Jamaica, among others, resisted this enc roachment and turned to the Church of Scotland, adopting a Presbyterian a ffiliation. Hope Carpenter served as a vestryman in that Presbyterian c hurch from 1702-1709.

Mary Ashman

https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=garyputnam&id=I8631NAME: Mary Ashman is sometimes listed as Mary Mills.  Mary was an Ashman and not a Mills before any marriages. While there has been some argument about this (AF & PRF, & IGI), I will use Ashman as her maiden name until proven otherwise.  See notes below.

FATHER: Was her father ALEXANDER MILLS, of New York, peruke maker?  Not per Gene Zubrinsky's comment that ROBERT ASHMAN is her father.

Gene Zubrinsky writes:
"Seversmith identifies Hope Carpenter Sr.'s wife, Mary, as the daughter of
Robert Ashman (ibid.); this, as you know, is the forename of one of Hope's sons."

Number 26 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 50.
Family is number 15 on page 62.   He resided at Hempstead, Jamaica, LI, New York.
He was a farmer and carpenter by trade.  He married twice 1) Sarah alive in March 1715 and 2) Elizabeth.

William Carpenter and Sarah, his wife sells 40 acres to Benjamin Wiggins in Jamaicia where the said William now liveth and which formerly belonged to his father John Carpenter near the Great Creek, etc., March 14, 1715 - Jamaica Records.

The will of William Carpenter states: "aged, of Hempstead, LI, to my great grandson, William Smith, son of John Smith and to my sons, John and Daniel, my carpenter tools: to my daughter, Elizabeth Bedell, etc."  In that will he frees his slaves.  The will WAS DATED 21 Feb. 1749.

WILL: Database: Full Context of New York City Wills, 1744-1758:
Page 205.--In the name of God, Amen, February 21, 1748/9, I, WILLIAM CARPENTER, of Hempstead, yeoman, being aged and weak. Makes arrangements for having two of his negro slaves set free, and leaves them small legacies. I leave to my grand son William, son of John Smith, "5. I leave to my sons, John and Daniel, my carpenter tools and my wearing apparel. I leave to my son Daniel my plow and tackling. I leave to my sons John and Daniel my wagon irons. All the rest of my movable estate to my daughter, Elizabeth Bedell, and to my sons, and I make them executors. Witnesses, John Linninton, James Wood. Proved, August 31, 1750.


24. Solomon Carpenter

NOTE: See father's notes for Gene Zubrinsky's data on this individual. He writes: "vii. Solomon Carpenter, b. Jamaica ca. 1671, d. “before his father, unmarried, without issue.” [Seversmith fails to present evidence of this Solomon's existence.]"
Seversmith gives no evidence that he existed, and Gene Zubrinsky has found none. But assuming that he did exist, the odds that he fathered a child no later than 4 Feb. 1687/8 (the birth date of another Solomon, said by some to have been his son) are exceedingly slim. This line goes no farther.
This Solomon presumably died, if he existed, before his father's will was made, since the will does not mention him. The grandson Solomon named in the will of John Carpenter Sr. was the son of Capt. John Carpenter Jr.
 
Number 28 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 50. Family is number 17 on page 63. He died before his father's will was made in which he is not mentioned, but his son, Solomon received his father's portion of the estate. - This information is in error.

Dear Joe and John,
In the course of correcting many of Amos B. Carpenter's mistakes pertaining to the Long Island line of Rehoboth Carpenters, Herbert F. Seversmith was the first to document the Solomon Carpenter born in Jamaica, Long Island, "about 1689 or 1690" (by 1687?) as the son of John4 Carpenter (John3, William2 of Rehoboth) and his wife, Mary Rhodes (John1) (Colonial families of Long Island, New York and Connecticut . . . , 5 vols.

27. John Titus Jr.

NOTE: See notes (immediately below) for Gene Zubrinsky's data on this individual.

Children of John and Abigail3 (Carpenter) Titus, all born at Rehoboth (RVR 1:19):
i. JOHN TITUS, b. 18 Dec. 1650, d. Rehoboth 2 Dec. 1697; m. (1) Rehoboth 17 July 1673, LYDIA REDWAY, b. Rehoboth 30 May 1652, bur. there 25 Nov. 1676, dau. of James1 Redway and unknown wife (not Mary Whipple [2nd wife of James3 Redway]); m. (2) Rehoboth 3 July 1678, SARAH MILLER(D), b. there 15 Oct. 1655, d. probably Rehoboth, perhaps before 31 March 1722 (on 10 March 1731/2? after 4 April 1736?), dau. of John1 and Elizabeth? (______) Miller(d) [subsequently Millard]. A Sarah Titus m. Rehoboth 16 Aug. 1716, as his third wife, John Garnsey Sr. In 1717, his daughter Waitstill and son John married John and Sarah (Millard) Titus's son Timothy and daughter Elizabeth, respectively; another of Garnsey's sons, Seth, married a Millard. A Bristol Co. probate record dated 22 June 1723 indicates another Titus-Garnsey connection: Sarah Titus, widow, declares herself "fully Satisfied [with unspecified compensation from Seth Garnsey, administrator of the estate of his father, John Sr.] for Taking Care of my mother [presumably mother-in-law] Sarah Garnsey the Last year of her Life." (The subscriber of this statement [also signed by David and Martha Chaffee] was perhaps the widow Sarah Titus who died at Rehoboth on 10 March 1731/2.) Sarah (Millard) Titus thus appears to have taken John Garnsey as her second husband and to have died by 1723. Additional evidence implies that she predeceased Garnsey, who died on 31 March 1722: his widow, also named Sarah, received a series of forty-shilling payments from Seth Garnsey "for my yearly Rent for my Dower in the Real Estate of my Late Husband John Garnsey Deceased"; the last recorded of these is dated 4 April 1736 (RVR 1:30, 38, 45, 46, 54a, 55a, 90 [not 91], 159, 161 [not 167], 167 [not 163], 2:133, 234, 241, 266; MilVR 27; SwVR A:27, 62, B:99/217; NEHGR 64:27-28; MD 21:110; BrCoPR 8:432-34; BrCoPR [abstr] 1:85, 307).

Sarah Millard

DEATH: AF has 10 Nov 1752.
Gene Zubrinsky writes the following:
SARAH MILLER(D), b. there 15 Oct. 1655, d. probably Rehoboth, perhaps before 31 March 1722 (on 10 March 1731/2? after 4 April 1736?), dau. of John1 and Elizabeth? (______) Miller(d) [subsequently Millard].

Gene Zubrinsky writes:
A Bristol Co. probate record dated 22 June 1723 indicates another Titus-Garnsey connection: Sarah Titus, widow, declares herself "fully Satisfied [with unspecified compensation from Seth Garnsey, administrator of the estate of his father, John Sr.] for Taking Care of my mother [presumably mother-in-law] Sarah Garnsey the Last year of her Life." (The subscriber of this statement [also signed by David and Martha Chaffee] was perhaps the widow Sarah Titus who died at Rehoboth on 10 March 1731/2.) Sarah (Millard) Titus thus appears to have taken John Garnsey as her second husband and to have died by 1723. Additional evidence implies that she predeceased Garnsey, who died on 31 March 1722: his widow, also named Sarah, received a series of forty-shilling payments from Seth Garnsey "for my yearly Rent for my Dower in the Real Estate of my Late Husband John Garnsey Deceased"; the last recorded of these is dated 4 April 1736 (RVR 1:30, 38, 45, 46, 54a, 55a, 90 [not 91], 159, 161 [not 167], 167 [not 163], 2:133, 234, 241, 266; MilVR 27; SwVR A:27, 62, B:99/217; NEHGR 64:27-28; MD 21:110; BrCoPR 8:432-34; BrCoPR [abstr] 1:85, 307).
