Subject: [CARPENTER] Josiah CARPENTER (1719-1747) & Huldah WALKER,of Rehoboth & Attleboro, MA
I wish to advise any interested subscribers of an article I have written
and that has been published in the September 2010 issue of THE MAYFLOWER
QUARTERLY chronicling the life of Huldah (WALKER) Carpenter (b.1721 in
Rehoboth, MA), the daughter of Timothy and Grace (Child) Walker and wife of Josiah
Carpenter (1719-1747), son of Obadiah and Deliverance (Preston) Carpenter.
It contains, to my knowledge, information pertaining to Huldah (Walker)
Carpenter and her descendants that has never been published in the past.
The article, seventeen pages in length, contains a biography of Huldah
Walker, an outline of her iimmediate descendants down to her grandchildren, and
ninety five endnotes.
Most major libraries should have a copy of THE MAYFLOWER QUARTERLY on hand,
so most people should have access to the article, for free.

Subject: Re: [CARPENTER] Josiah CARPENTER (1719-1747) & Huldah WALKER,of Rehoboth & At...
Dear Mr. Carpenter,
If you have an opportunity to review my article, I believe you will be pleased by the quality of the references. My article illustrates that very little has been published about Huldah (Walker) and I would relate more here, but I don't want this to serve as a spoiler, of sorts, as the article was only recently published. As you may have surmised, I am the same Charles Ward who wrote the article, "Carpenter Descendants of John Howland in Tennessee," also appearing the THE MAYFLOWER QUARTERLY (February 1995 issue (volume 61, number 1) that dealt with Josiah and Huldah (Walker) Carpenter's grandson, the Reverend Timothy Carpenter (1773-1853) and his wife, Hannah (Brown) Carpenter. Hannah Brown was a descendant of Pilgrim John Howland. The Reverend Timothy Carpenter (1773-1853) was the son of Deacon Cyril Carpenter (1743-1811) and his wife, Lucy (Lane) Carpenter and he was the grandson of Josiah Carpenter (1719-1747) and his wife, Huldah Walker.
Yours sincerely,
Charles Ward

My most recent article, "Huldah (Walker) Carpenter Willmarth Walker (1721-1815), of Rehoboth and Attleboro, MA: Matriarch of the Carpenter Family," appears in the September, 2010 issue of THE MAYFLOWER QUARTERLY. No comprehensive biography of Huldah (Walker) Carpenter has appeared before and I believe anyone reading it will find information not published in the past, not only dealing with Huldah, but also with her children and grandchildren. One only has to read the title of my latest article to realize previously published works mentioning Huldah neglected to comprehensively document her life. My article documents her three marriages and the fact she lived to be nearly one hundred years old. A.B. Carpenter listed her date of death as being in 1747, which is totally wrong. Nevertheless, that hasn't stopped others from recording that date of death on numerous online sites. My most recent article addresses, among other things, the children inaccurately attributed to Josiah Carpenter and Huldah Walker, by A.B. Carpenter. It discusses the children of Deacon Cyril Carpenter and his first wife, Lucy (Lane) Carpenter and a child A.B. Carpenter attributed to them that cannot be substantiated by contemporary records. I also make reference to and quote the published funeral sermon of Deacon Cyril Carpenter, which I don't believe has ever been referenced or commented upon in the past. If I hadn't felt I had a significant number of new sources and material, I wouldn't have undertaken the considerable effort to publish my latest article. Charles Ward

GRAVE: house picture only
Huldah Walker Walker
Birth: 19 Jan 1721 Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
Death: 22 May 1815 (aged 94) Attleboro, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
Burial: Briggsville Burial Ground, Attleboro, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
Memorial #: 201617746
Bio:
Huldah Walker was the daughter of Timothy Walker, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and his wife, Grace (Child) Walker.  She was married on 25 Oct 1742 in Rehoboth to Josiah Carpenter (b. 8 Oct 1719; d. 31 Oct 1747)  
Following his death she was married between 6 Sep 1748 and 6 Dec 1748 to Lieutenant Daniel Wilmarth (born 29 Nov 1715 in Attleboro, MA; died 17 Feb 1769 in Attleboro, MA).  It was Daniel Wilmarth's second marriage.  
Following her second husband's death, she was married 22 Feb 1772 (intentions) in Attleboro, MA to her first cousin, once removed, Ebenezer Walker (born 9 Dec 1716; died 5 Jul 1799), of Ashford, Connecticut.    It was Ebenezer Walker's second marriage (his first wife was Bethiah Brown).    
Following her third husband's death, Huldah (Walker) Carpenter Wilmarth Walker returned to Attleboro, Massachusetts (then spelled Attleborough) where she had a life interest in a portion of the house she had shared with her second husband, Daniel Wilmarth.  
The remainder of the house and property had been bequeathed by Daniel Wilmarth to his step-son, Josiah Carpenter, Jr., the younger of the two sons of Huldah by her first husband, Josiah Carpenter.Huldah Walker's grave marker does not survive.  
At the end of the nineteenth century, the Briggsville Burial Ground was in deplorable shape. One commentator noted:“Very few stones are to be found at the present time, and those still standing will soon disappear if left alone. Possibly some might be found by digging beneath the surface, though attempts made in that direction have met with no result; either therefore there were none erected at many of the graves, or they have been totally destroyed.
