Descendants of William Carpenter of Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, now part of Bristol County, MA

Notes

2580. Daniel Needham Carpenter

Number 1604 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 233.
AF has birth as abt 1755 and last name as NEEHAM, but this is incorrect.

2581. William Barney Carpenter

Number 1608 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 234. Family is number 532 on page 393.
He went to Newville, OH thence to Mansfield, OH and lastly to Colorado.  A Miss Osburn says he died in Wilbraham, MA in 1809 or 1810.  The Compiler of the Carpenter Memorial thinks she is right, as she has always been found to be very accurate in genealogical matters.

Is there a son named Clark missing from this family?  Or was it a son-in-law?  Anyway he was supposed to be a baptist minister.  See Justin's notes.

2582. Jesse Carpenter

Number 1618 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 235.
He moved to the state of NY about 1776.
He was a strong Anti-mason.  He had black powder blown into his face, which
caused his children to say his face looked as though it was muddy.  It was
imbedded into the skin so that it could not be got out, and it sometimes
trobubled him with an intolerable itching.
See the extensive notes in the above record.

NOTE: He was a Revolutionary War veteran from a Massachusetts regiment. Jesse moved to Madison Co NY in 1800 and died at the home of his grandson, William CARPENTER, at the age of 96.

E-MAIL: Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2001
From:  Bill Wilson
Did any early Carpenters of Rehoboth marry Mayflower descendents?  It
occurred to me that this was a distinct possibility.  And sure enough, while
browsing through the index of the John Billington Mayflower Family I found
several familiar Carpenter names from my line.
I thought I had hit pay dirt!  But as I read the fine print, I saw the
Billington book identified an error in Amos B Carpenter1s book, which
apparently throws my family line out of the Rehoboth Family completely.
The discrepancy arose when ABC apparently read incorrectly the data of 1640
Isaiah Carpenter born January 8, 1735, and should have identified him as
Isaack Carpenter born January 8, 1734/5, who died young without issue.
To clarify the problem, I have listed the descendants from both books.
Square brackets [] are mine.

[and this is the fine-print footnote:]
* Contrary to the account in Carpenter (Rehoboth) Gen pp 238, 398-9, there
is no indication that the son 3Isaiah2 (Isaack in birth record) . . . lived
to maturity.  The adults described as these sons of Jotham Carpenter do not
belong to this family. . . And son Isaack, as 3Isaiah2, is mistakenly
identified as an adult Isaiah of Vermont.
Can anyone help me straighten this mess out?
Bill Wilson.

Isaiah Carpenter and James Breckinridge were accused of rioting
by the New Yorkers who claimed that they had taken land under
the New Hampshire grant, within the limits of NY
territory;  and further, that they had taken up arms to fight
for the land as a part of Bennington.  This accusation was not
true;  they were within the limits of Bennington.  It arose from
the fact that they were loyal to the proposed government of
Vermont.  It was about the year 1777.
Isaiah Carpenter was one of the first settlers of Salisbury,
under the New Hampshire grant;  he was a conspicuous character
in the difficulties between the "Green Mountain Boys" and the
"Yorkers."  Mr. Carpenter was a near neighbor of Judge Olin. The
"Yorkers" drove Carpenter from his cabin on a few acres of
clearing, and put one of their grantees in possession.  One day
as the "Yorker" was chopping a tree there was a report, and a
ball whistled by his head;  he supposing that it was some
hunter, kept on chopping;  in a few moments there was another
report, and a second bullet struck the tree a few inches above
his head.  He left for parts unknown, immediately, and Carpenter
had full possession.  A short time after this, Judge Olin shot a
steer which he was killing for family use;  Carpenter, hearing
the report, took his musket and came running down to Judge
Olin's inquiring "Where are the Yorkers".
It is said by members of the family that he joined the
Revolutionary forces and was aid to Gen. Warren.2  SOUR S203

Under these circumstances,the Breakenridge claim of title was clearly invalid, and if,as James Duane said, the defendant's lawyers told him hehad no case, their advice was sound," nevertheless, Breakenridgewould make no admissions, and, as the plaintiff wascaught unprepared with necessary formal proof of his title,the former won a temporary victory by way of a nonsuit,only to have the case go against him at a later trial. Thefirst case to be tried, therefore, was that brought on behalfof the lessee of Captain John Small, a reduced officer inthe 4md Foot, against Isaiah Carpenter of Shaftsbury, whoclaimed title under Wentworth's patent of that township.Captain Small had obtained a military patent from NewYork, in October 1765, for three thousand acres under theKing's Proclamation of October 1763, and his land waslocated in Bennington and Shaftsbury." At the trial theplaintiff proved his title and offered evidence that his patentexpressly provided that two hundred acres should be reservedfor each settler under a New Hampshire title, uponcondition that he pay the usual New York fees, and thatCarpenter had been offered this amount of land but hadrefused to comply." Thereupon Carpenter offered as proofof his title a certified copy of the New Hampshire patentfor Shaftsbury and of Governor Wentworth's instructionsrelating (0 land grants, but the court excluded these documentsbecause no evidence had been offered to show that
