It has not yet been determined if there have been some formal and informal adoptions in this descendant line. Sometimes a young widow with a son would remarry and the young lad would bond with his step-father then assume his surname. Before bigger and moreformalized governments, this was not uncommon. On occasion some children were given up for adoption or farmed out to relatives.
We call these type of events Non-Paternity Events or NPEs. This means that sometimes a Carpenter descendant may occasionally have a different genetic profile from what is expected. Or conversely, a Carpenter descendant who was adopted has a different surname, but the genetic profile of this Carpenter line.
