John:   Thanks a million for the forwarded Carpenter information!!
'Course your info. shows Eliphalet's daughter, Mary, married to Manasah
Warrener ---    (I do have copies of pages from that publication.)     In
Bowen's Woodstock, Ct. Families (I can't tell you which Bowen!! - I got
copies of pages from another person) it shows  the Carpenter family on
pps. 147 -----; and indicates Eliphalet's daughter, Mary, was married to
Manasseh Hosmer of Woodstock May 30, 1723,  b Aug. 7, 1702, d Woodstock
Mar. 20, 1791, son of James Hosmer and Elizabeth Sawyer.  And that he
sold land in Woodstock in 1749.   (Similar entry to that in 'your'
write-up re. Manasah Warrener!!)    If you haven't seen these pages, I
could U. S. mail them to you.    Wish I knew someone in Woodstock who
could double-check on the information.    (If, in fact, Mary Carpenter
did not m. Manasseh Hosmer then I will "throw away " all my Carpenter

He went to Norwich, CT.  He sold land as heir to the estate of Eliphalet, to

Millard's Company, Col. John Waterman's Regiment.  Enlisted Dec. 4, 1776,
discharged June 9, 1777.  Served at Ticonderoga, was reported absent without
leave.

Woodbridge's Company, Col. Brown's Regiment, July 8, 1777.  Served 14 days in a
Bershire County Regiment from Stockbridge, MA, on the evacuation of

Capt. Collings Company, Col. John Ashley's Regiment, July 19, 1779.  Served one
month and nine days in a Berkshire County Regiment.  Marched to CT.
We think it is the same William Carpenter who served as Corporal in the
Revolution.  Enlisted June 16, 1780.  Residence MA  He stood five
feet and nine inches, of light complexion, light eyes and light hair."  per

Subject: [CARPENTER] John Carpenter of Holliston & Meday, MA c1705-1776
I have come across a John Carpenter who lived at Holliston, Mass., in
1730, at which time he married Margaret Leland of Sherborne.  They
ended up in nearby Medway, where he died in 1776, supposedly aged 71.
Does anyone know where he was born and who his parents were?  I note
that there was a John Carpenter born at Rehoboth in 1705, but I have
no way of knowing whether that's the same John.

John,
I'm finishing up an article for the NEHG REGISTER that rectifies widely
accepted misidentifications of three John Carpenters, all descendants of
William of Rehoboth and born in the second half of the seventeenth century.
In the course of supporting my identification of the the wives of John5
Carpenter of Swansea (Benjamin4, Joseph3, William2-1), I mention in a
footnote that "in or near Swansea, almost fifteen years separated the birth
of John5 (Benjamin4) and that of the same-named person nearest his age (John
Carpenter, b. Rehoboth, 7 Feb. 1705, son of William Jr. and Elizabeth
[Robinson] Carpenter, and perhaps he who d. Medway, Mass., 17 Oct. 1776, in
his 72d yr.) (Rehoboth VR, 1:48, 61; VITAL RECORDS OF MEDFIELD,
MASSACHUSETTS, TO THE YEAR 1850 [Boston, 1905], 296)."  In that the latter
John Carpenter is a peripheral figure in the article, I had no need (and made
no effort) to resolve the issue of whether he and the Medway man were one and
the same.
As you've probably noticed, the names of three of Medway John's
children--Amos, Jesse, and Patience--are also those of some of Rehoboth
John's Carpenter cousins.  Although Medway John's daughter Elizabeth's name
is the same as Rehoboth John's mother, it's too common to draw any
conclusions.  Have you checked Bristol Co. land records to see if Rehoboth
John executed a grantor deed indicating a place of residence other than
Attleborough (his father died there in 1718/9) or vicinity?  If Medway John
had previously owned land at Holliston, perhaps the Middlesex Co. land record
of his initial purchase there gives his previous place of residence.  If
you've already investigated these possibilities, please let me know.  If you
haven't but plan to, please let me know what you learn.
Thanks.
Gene Z.
