Louise Perrin, married Samuel Proctor, she was his first wife, and she
is supposed to have died in childbirth. Samuel Proctor remarried after her
death and became the father of Harvey Proctor, the father of Stanley who was
the father of John Proctor.

Abigail Carpenter
Number 184 on page 74 of the Carpenter Memorial.
Gene Zubrinsky writes in response to a question:
<< TYPO? Should this read: 1 February 1738 or some other year than 1683 which is before the estimated birth year of her and her husband? Or did Abigail (Newton) Carpenter and later Papillon die on 16 Feb 1776 as later stated in your brief. >>
At the top of p. 74, ABC confuses Abigails and mistakenly gives Joseph5's sister Abigail (no birth date given) as the woman of that name who married Obadiah Papillon, when in fact it was Joseph5's widow. ABC further errs in giving sister Abigail's date of death as 1 Feb. 1783, when it is recorded at Swansea thus: "Abigall the daughter of Joseph Carpenter Jur and of Mary his wife dececed febubuary 1:1683." Clearly she died in infancy and should have been placed first in the birth order (based on the dates available). Joseph5's widow, Abigail (Newton) (Carpenter) Papillon, was buried on 16 Feb. 1776.

E-MAIL: Tue, 22 May 2001 From: "carol ashby/rey gogel"
Dear John
Bob Carpenter suggested I contact you with my question, as the foremost Carpenter authority. I only just found, after 18 years of research, that Mary Carpenter, (who md in Newbury, MA Jan 22, 1722/23 to Daniel CHASE) may be an ancestral grandmother. At the same time I learned that there was probably in Newbury at this time, Edward Carpenter, (wife's name unkn) who had three children born in Newbury: John b. 1719; Mary b. 1719; Edward b. 1723. It would seem that perhaps this Edward and Mary could be siblings. I find no information to indicate who their parents were--or at least, who Mary's parents were? One contact said that some authorities believe she descends from the William of R.I. group. Newbury vital records don't show a births of the elder Mary or Edward Carpenter there. My Chase genealogy reflects that Mary Carpenter and Daniel Chase had two children, Mary and Judah; apparently the compiler had no idea what became of this child Mary, and simply stated 'probably died young.' I think this Mary is my ancestral grandmother due to overwhelming circumstantial evidence I've recently been able to put together. I think it would cement my belief that she is an ancestral grandmother if I knew more about her parents and without that information, I'm in a 'hold' position on the issue.
Would it be possible for you to give me an opinion on this, if you have a moment? I'd most deeply appreciate the help. If I can pin this down just a bit, I'd very much like to buy the CD for the entire ancestry, but at this point I'm still trying to determine if the Carpenter family is mine. Thank you for any information you might have on this tiny Carpenter branch. Warmest regards, Carol Ashby of Iowa

Way too many to list. One example: Benjamin CARPENTER (AFN: 8LSK-9V)
MARRIAGE:
BENJAMIN (1658-1727) & 1/wf RENEW WEEKS (1660-1703); B. 1680(1?); SWANSEA. THIS PER NEW ENGLAND MARRIAGES BEFORE 1700. PAGE 135.
MARRIAGE:
Marriage date in AF (1 Jul 1683) and birth of first child (27 Jan 1680) not consistent. No evidence of marriage prior for Benjamin & Renew Weeks. However, "The Epistle" June 1976, p. 41 has 12 Jan. 1705/06 as marriage date to Renew Weeks. This is in error since 1 Jul 1683 is their marriage date. The 12 Jan. 1706 date is a marriage bond date with the marriage to Martha Toogood completed on 27 Nov. 1706.

Subject: Renew West, Granddaughter of Benjamin Carpenter and Renew Weeks?
Hi, John.
I saw a posting of yours involving the ancestry of Lucien F. Carpenter-18280, whose ancestors include Benjamin Carpenter and Renew Weeks. Has your research enabled you to discover the descendants of any of the other children of Benjamin and Renew?
Specifically, I recently found a 1736 Swansea, MA deed that may hold the key to a longstanding battle I've been waging with my line of Lippitts of Rhode Island. The deed involves the sale of land by John Lippitt, his wife, Renew, and Mehitable West, all of Warwick, RI, the land being an amendment right of land laid out by their grandfather, Benjamin Carpenter, deceased.
I'm working with the hypothesis that this Benjamin Carpenter was the husband of Renew Weeks, that they had a daughter, Renew, who married John West, and that John West and Renew Carpenter had a daughter, Renew West, who married John Lippitt.
Have you discovered any of the above people, and if you have, do such findings lend credibility to some of the descendants of Benjamin Carpenter that I've theorized above? Any help you are willing to provide will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jim Smith

THREE JOHN CARPENTERS: A CHAIN OF MISTAKEN IDENTITIES
by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky From: NEGR Jan 2005
JOHN4 CARPENTER (JOSEPH3, WILLIAM2–1) OF EAST GREENWICH, RHODE ISLAND
Among several John Carpenters born in the seventeenth century and descending from immigrant William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth[] is one who died at East Greenwich on 25 August 1753 in his 87th year.[] A number of respectable sources misidentify him as the son of Abiah3 Carpenter (William2–1) of Pawtuxet (Warwick), Rhode Island.[] One of these volumes, and a lesser-regarded but highly popular one, also err in assigning his children and one or (in the latter case) two of his wives to another John Carpenter, son of Oliver4 Carpenter (Abiah3) of Warwick and North Kingstown, Rhode Island.[]
John Carpenter’s forty-nine or more years at East Greenwich[] (on Warwick’s southern border) and his calculated birth year of about 1667 make it plausible that Abiah, then aged twenty-three or twenty-four, was his father. Indirect, primary evidence indicates, however, that John was the son of Abiah’s brother Joseph3 Carpenter of Rehoboth and adjacent Swansea.[] Joseph had become a second-rank proprietor[] at Swansea by 22 12th month 1669 [22 February 1669/70], when he became the twelfth admitted inhabitant to sign the town’s covenant.[] In his will, dated 3 May 1675, Joseph leaves to sons Joseph, Benjamin, and John “my Rights of Comonage within the Towne of Rehoboth and all my Rights in Swansey on the east syde of the River.”[] On 10 January 1708 John Carpenter of East Greenwich, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, sold to his brother Benjamin Carpenter of Swansea “the one third part of two Reanks in ye undevided Lands” there.[] This was clearly the fractional interest in Swansea commonage rights that the East Greenwich man had inherited from his father, Joseph Carpenter, more than thirty years before.[]
Joseph Carpenter married at Rehoboth on 25 November (not May) 1655,[] Margaret Sutton, who died between 21 March 1675/6 and 4 October 1676 (not in 1700), daughter of John1 Sutton of Hingham and Rehoboth.[] Their first four children were born at Rehoboth between 1656 and 1661; three others, born between 1671 and 1675 (the last only two days before their father’s burial), are recorded at Swansea.[] A Martha Carpenter died at Swansea on 22 March 1735, “in the :73: year of her age or their about.”[] Based on her place of death and implied birth year (ca. 1663); the ten-year gap between the fourth and fifth recorded births of Joseph Carpenter’s children; his bequests to “my five daughters”; and the elimination of all other contemporary Carpenter couples as her possible parents, Martha was probably Joseph and Margaret’s daughter and is so identified in the literature.[] Secondary sources present their son John—named in Joseph’s will but having no birth record—as the twin of Hannah, born 21 1st month [March (not January)] 1671, with no further information.[] As above, however, John’s age at death implies that he was born about 1667—presumably at Rehoboth, where his father was still living on 2 April 1669.[]
The earliest record of John Carpenter’s being of East Greenwich is dated 29 November 1704, when he purchased fifty acres there from Benjamin Nickols.[] On 28 November 1705 Matthew Grinnell gave him ten acres at East Greenwich “for the Love & affection that I the sd matthewe Griniel doe Beare unto my Loving sonn in Lawe John Carpenter.”[] Carpenter’s age in 1705 (about thirty-eight) makes it uncertain that the unknown Grinnell daughter was his first wife. The mother of the four of his children whose births are recorded is given as Elizabeth.[] But her having had them between 1721 and 1726 and the existence of four other, probably older Carpenter children (named in their father’s will)[] suggest that John Carpenter had children by two wives.
This John Carpenter’s will, dated 14 July 1748, was proved at East Greenwich on 10 September 1753, two weeks after his death.[] Two important sources nevertheless identify its author as another John Carpenter, son of Oliver4 Carpenter (Abiah3) of Warwick and North Kingstown (see next section); accordingly, they attribute to the latter John the widow and children named in the will of the former (plus another child, Prudence, found only in East Greenwich vital records).[] His estate inventory, however, taken 4 September 1753, begins by describing him as having “Departed this Life the Twenty fifth Day of August A:D 1753,” the precise death date recorded in East Greenwich vital records for the John Carpenter established above as Joseph and Margaret Carpenter’s son.[] He leaves to “my beloved Wife Abigal Carpenter all the Goods She Brought With her to me . . . together with all the Movable Estate that we have Gotten to gether [sic] Since we Come together.”[] This and the aforementioned likelihood that the children recorded to Elizabeth were the youngest suggest that none of John Carpenter’s children was Abigail’s. Based on the foregoing facts and interpretations, John Carpenter apparently married at least three times, first to _____ Grinnell, second to Elizabeth _____, and third to Abigail _____.
Children of John Carpenter, i–iv (in order of appearance in their father’s will) born probably at East Greenwich, perhaps to wife _____ Grinnell; v–viii recorded at East Greenwich to John and Elizabeth Carpenter:
i. Martha5 Carpenter.[]
ii. Mary Carpenter.
iii. Sarah Carpenter.
iv. Diadem(i)a(h) Carpenter, m. (1) East Greenwich 28 June 1744 Thomas Stafford Jr. of Cranston and Coventry, R.I.;[] perhaps m. (2) Caleb Bailey.[]
v. Prudence Carpenter, b. 25 July 1721; not mentioned in her father’s will.
vi. Cornel(l)/Cornal/Colonel Carpenter, b. 10 April 1723; m. Elizabeth ___ by 1748.[]
vii. Dinah Carpenter, b. 16 Nov. 1724; m. East Greenwich 12 Feb. 1746 Joshua Greene of North Kingstown.[]

UPDATE: 12/21/2001 From: Gene Zubrinksky.
JOHN CARPENTER OF EAST GREENWICH, R.I., SON OF JOSEPH, NOT ABIAH
Those tracing Carpenter ancestry through John Carpenter of East Greenwich, R.I. (d. there 25 Aug. 1753, in his 87th yr.), generally identify his father as Abiah3 Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass., and Warwick, R.I. (b. Weymouth, Mass., 9 April [not Feb.] 1643) (see L. Effingham de Forest and Anne Lawrence de Forest, James Cox Brady and His Ancestry [N.Y., 1933], p. 135; John Osborne Austin, The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island [Providence, 1887; repr. Baltimore, 1978], p. 36). John's decades-long residence at East Greenwich (on Warwick's southern border) and approximate birth year of 1667 make Abiah, then 23 or 24, a plausible choice. Documentary evidence nevertheless indicates that John's father was not Abiah but his brother Joseph (bp. Shalbourne, England, 6 April 1634).
In 1667, when the Plymouth Colony township of Swansea was created (primarily from Rehoboth), Joseph3 Carpenter of Rehoboth became a second-rank proprietor of the new settlement. (A proprietor's rank in Swansea's three-tiered social structure determined the size of common-land allotments he received.) In his will, dated 3 May 1675, Joseph leaves to sons Joseph, Benjamin, and John "my Rights of Comonage within the Towne of Rehoboth and all my Rights in Swansey on the east syde of the River" (Plymouth Colony Wills, 3:2:33). On 10 January 1708 John Carpenter of East Greenwich, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, sold to brother Benjamin Carpenter of Swansea, one-third part of two ranks in the undivided lands at Swansea (Swansea Proprietors' Records, 1:167). Clearly this was Joseph3's son John, selling his interest in the Swansea rights that he and brothers Joseph and Benjamin had inherited from their father.
The births of Joseph3 and Margaret (Sutton) Carpenter's first four children are recorded at Rehoboth: Joseph, b. 15 Aug. 1656: Benjamin, b. 15 Jan. 1657[/8]; Abigail, b. 15 March 1659; and Est(h)er/Hester, b. 10 March 1661 (Rehoboth VR, 1:10). The births of three others are recorded at Swansea: Hannah, b. 21st of 1st mo. [March, not Jan.] 1671; Solomon, b. 27 April 1673; and Margaret, b. 4 May 1675, two days before her father's burial (Swansea VR, A:17, 33, 59, 147). Despite some sources' presenting Joseph and Margaret's son John as Hannah's twin, his birth is not recorded. But the 1667 birth year implied by his age at death falls easily within the interval between the last-recorded Rehoboth birth (Esther's) and the first-recorded one at Swansea (Hannah's).
Amos B. Carpenter (p. 45) misidentifies a Newman (Old Rehoboth) Cemetery gravestone marked "M. C. D. Y. 1700 A. G. 65" as that of Margaret (Sutton) Carpenter. While there is in fact no record of her death or burial, her estate inventory was taken on 4 October 1676 and is recorded immediately after that of husband Joseph (Plymouth Colony Wills, 3:2:33-36, 37-38). If, as A. B. Carpenter claims (p. 45), Joseph was buried near the 100-acre Cove in that part of Swansea now Barrington, R.I., we may assume that Margaret joined him there. Guardianship records pertaining to the children are not found.
WILL: After his second marriage he made his will. It was dated 14 Jul 1748 and
proven 10 Sep 1753. His wife Abigail was executrix. Abstract on page 75.

Gene Zubrinsky, from his Samuel3 notes, CHILDREN section:
It is often said that Patience (Ide) Carpenter’s mother, Martha, was the daughter of Thomas1 Bliss of Rehoboth (formerly of Daventry, Northamptonshire, England, and Braintree, Mass. Bay Colony). This is far from certain, however. For arguments pro and con, see the thread of messages on GenForum’s Ide Family Genealogy Forum beginning with #275, online at http://genforum.genealogy.com/ide/messages/275.html. A 1647 marriage at Springfield, Mass., sometimes attributed to Nicholas Ide and Martha Bliss is not recorded and almost certainly did not occur. The earliest Blisses of Springfield were children of a different Thomas Bliss, who lived at Hartford, Connecticut, and had no daughter Martha (see GenForum, as above).

Mehitable Read
PARENTS: AF has Thomas & Elizabeth (Clark) Read as parents. IGI and PRF present the same parents. Many details of birth, death and marriages given.
Gene Zubrinsky presents her parents as John & Rachel (_____) Read with no iinformation. Gene has been proven correct a large majority of the time. I am listing both as parents until some one can confirm which set of parents are correct.
Followup by Gene Zubrinsky:
"... I give additional information: the vital-record citation RVR 1:21, which has her birth at Rehoboth, 13 April 1667, as being to John and Rachel (______) Read, not Thomas and Elizabeth (Clark) Read. Thomas Read's wife Elizabeth Clark died in 1674/5; they had five children but no daughter Mehitabel. Thomas then married Hannah Perrin, with whom he had a daughter Mehitabel, but she was born in 1684 and died unmarried in 1743. (Jim Bullock, whose work I respect, agrees with all this.)"
AFN GTGX-1N (Mehitable READ) and K7X4-46 (Mehitabel READ) are the same person.

Mehitable Carpenter
Number 249 on page 79.
323.
Samuel Carpenter
Number 250 on page 79 of the Carpenter Memorial.
This Samuel, as taken from the RI Historical Collection, was "Son of
Abiah of Rehoboth, grandson of Samuel, was a member of the First Baptist Church
of Providence, RI on list of baptized members."
The Carpenter Memorial compiler has some doubt as to the correctness of that
statement: He is inclined to think that this Samuel was a son of Abiah of
Pawtuxet, RI (#21).
324.
Sarah Carpenter
Number 251 on page 79 of the Carpenter Memorial. She died Nov. 13, 1729 at
Rehoboth per that record.
AFN NRRT-QV (died 13 Nov. 1729) and CZ33-C0 (died 10 Sep 1722 - the only
difference) are the same person. Since her husband remarried in 1725 the 1722
death date is more reasonable.
Noah Chaffee
NAME: CHAFE (E)
325.
Josiah Carpenter
Number 256 on page 79 of the Carpenter Memorial.
Birth of "Jul 1697" may be death date. Maybe a twin to Sarah?
The Compiler of the Carpenter Memorial takes exception to H. Savages's
statement that Josiah is a son of Abiah. By careful search the compiler of the
above record from no record or name. However they did find a "Sarah" born the
same year but in another month than this Josiah. That compiler thinks Josiah
should probably read Sarah.
326.
Peter Carpenter
Number 253 on page 79 of the Carpenter Memorial.
He was baptised after his mother died. He was probably born about 18 or 19
March 1701.
Sarah Read
PARENTS: AF has Thomas & Elizabeth (Clark) Read as parents.
Gene presents presents Sarah as "(prob. b. Rehoboth 10 March 1666, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth (Clark) Read)" and cites her birth record as RVR 1:24.
GRAVE:

Mary Perrin
MARY PERRIN MARRIED A ORMSBEE (ORMSBEY) THEN A IDE (IYDE) THEN LATER A CARPENTER. ORMSBEE IS NOT THE MAIDEN NAME AS PER THE AF. MARY PERRIN MARRIED A "JACOB ORMSBEY" AND WAS A WIDOW WHEN SHE REMARRIED.
ORMSBEY = ORMSBY. BROTHER TO JACOB ORMSBEY?
!Another Record, Daggett And Allied Families indicate her parents may have been
Richard & Sarah Ormsbee, who were located at Saco in 1641, removed to
Salisbury and Haverhill, and in 1663 located at Rehoboth, where the inventory of
the estate of Richard Ormsbee was taken on 3 July 1664. Three sons of Richard
resided at Rehoboth and were born between 1641 and 1647, thus being the same
generation as Mary Ormsbee, whose birth is not recorded.
Gene Zubrinsky writes from his Samuel3 notes, CHILDREN section:
"m. (3) Rehoboth 16 July 1726, Mary Ormsbee (not Mary Perrin [m. (1) Jacob (not Isaiah) Ormsby 1670, (2) Nicholas Ide 1677]; not dau. of Jeremiah and Mehitabel (Willmarth) Ormsbee [b. 1708, d. 1789, in 81st yr.; m. Thomas Redway 1749]). Widow Mary probably m. (2) Rehoboth 19 April 1733, John Read of Barrington, Mass. (now in R.I.)"

BIRTH: Per Gene Zubrinsky: Jonathan was born in Dec. 1672, but the day is uncertain. The published volume of Rehoboth VR says 6 Dec.; while the original (1:6) is illegible, it doesn't appear to be a 6. Jonathan's birthdate should be written as __ [illeg.] Dec. 1672.
