Ojai, California, 2009

i. HANNAH3 CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 (parents m. ca. 1658) and say 1661/2, living Musketa Cove 19 March 1719/20 (husband's will); m. Musketa Cove or vicinity before 17 Feb. 1682[/3?] (probably by 14 Jan. 1681[/2?]), WILLIAM THORNYCRAFT, b. probably Warwick, d. Musketa Cove between 6 April 1720 (sold land) and 19 Dec. 1728 (will proved), son of Thomas and Jean? (______) Thornycraft of Warwick (by 1647) and Maspeth Kills, Newtown (now Elmhurst, Queens Co.), L.I. (NYWills 11:80; MARRIAGE, above; WarTR1 1-296 passim [215, 217]; WarTR2 29, 141, 251, 252, 329; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357; OBTR 1:378, 6:654; NYGBR 64:31, citing NTR [1:]158).
On 17 February 1682 [probably 1682/3], William Thornycraft conveyed "twenty Accars of Land unto _his father in Law_ Joseph Carpenter . . . for and in Consideration of fifty Accars of Land in hand and reseaved, of _his father_ Joseph Carpenter" (emphases added) (OBTR 1:643; Carpenter [1901] 45 omits portion of quoted passage following ellipsis points). On the same date, Carpenter, in an exchange of fifty-acre lots with Nicholas Simkins, obtained the parcel he gave to Thornycraft, abutting the twenty acres his son-in-law gave him in return (OBTR 1:642-44). Thornycraft's right to the twenty acres of woodland he traded to Joseph Carpenter had been granted to him on 14 Jan. 1681[/2?] by a deed from the five Musketa Cove proprietors, including Carpenter (OBTR 1:639-40). It is doubtful that this grant to Thornycraft--also including "A sartin peece or parsell of Land whare hee now Inhabitts and Builtt upon for A home Lott as within fenc Allredy InClosed" and a parcel of upland--would have been made until he had married (in which case he need not have been twenty-one to receive it). The lots Thornycraft and Carpenter exchanged were adjacent and thus presumably of comparable quality. From this, the transfers' transaction date, and a gift of land made by Joseph Carpenter probably four days (rather than a year and four days) earlier (see no. ii, below), it is reasonable to conclude that the thirty acres Thornycraft gained from the trade was a marriage settlement from his father-in-law. The will of William Thorneycraft Sr. of Musketa Cove, dated 19 March 1719/20 and proved 19 Dec. 1728, names wife Hannah; sons William, Joseph, and Thomas; and daughters Hannah Washburn, Elizabeth Pellam (Pelham), Mary Thorneycraft, Jane Carpenter [m. cousin Silas, son of William (no. iv, below)], and Phebe Thorneycraft; the witnesses were Mary Carpenter, Thomas Pearsall, and Joseph Carpenter (NYWills 11:80, 85). . . .

D. H. Carpenter gives Joseph and Hannah a sixth child: Hannah, "born 1672-3, married Jacob Hicks in 1690" (Carpenter [1901] 43). A few secondary sources state that the maiden name of Jacob Hicks's wife was Carpenter, but not all give her parentage, and none presents supporting evidence (see, for example, Mott Gen 372; Shotwell Gen 237, 280; Cornell Gen 383; Seaman-Husband 84). In his will, dated in 1751, Jacob Hicks's bequests to wife Hannah include "all the goods she brought with her when married" (NYWills 5:93-94). The quoted phrase implies that Hannah (whatever her maiden name) was not Hicks's first wife and probably married him long after his children were born (at Hempstead between 1702--making a 1690 marriage date unlikely [see above]--and about 1718) (see Colonial Fams 3:1330). More to the point, however, the Carpenter daughter whom D. H. Carpenter is unable to identify by forename but correctly describes as having married William Thornycraft is almost certainly the woman whom Thornycraft's will calls "my wife Hannah" (see Carpenter [1901] 43; NYWills 11:80; child no. i, above).

NOTE: Gene Zubrinsky wrote, "Hannah4 Carpenter (Hannah3, William2 of Rehoboth): Born Pawtuxet (not Flushing); died almost certainly Musketa Cove (not Rockaway) after 1719. (The only Carpenter during this period associated with the vicinity of Rockaway was her paternal uncle Ephraim, who, late in life, settled at West Neck, on the south side of Oyster Bay Twp and probably died there.)  She's the Carpenter daughter whose forename Carpenter [1901] was unable to supply; she married William Thornycraft.  There's no evidence that Jacob Hicks's wife was a Carpenter, let alone a daughter of Hannah3."  See Gene's notes above.

12. Joseph Carpenter

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2009. See father's notes for complete listing.

Children of Joseph2 and Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter, i-iv born probably at Pawtuxet (Warwick) (birth order uncertain):

iii. JOSEPH CARPENTER, b. between ca. 1659 and 9 July 1663 (perhaps by 13 Feb. 1661/2), d. Musketa Cove between 9 Sept. 1687 (quitrent payment) and 6 Jan. 1691 [probably 1691/2]; m. by 1685 (1st known child b. 16 Oct.) (OBTR 2:337, 350-51).
That records dated in mid-Feb. 1682[/3] call his father Joseph "Sr:" or "Sen:" suggests that Joseph (Jr.) was by then of age (OBTR 1:640-41; DEATH, par. 3, above). He was certainly so by 9 July 1684, when he and his mother were named administrators of his father's estate (Hist Mss 130). He was "late deceased" when a "memorandum" of the birth, on 16 Oct. 1685, of his "Eldest son and Heire," Joseph, was recorded at the top of a page also containing a record dated 6 Jan. 1691 (OBTR 2:350-51).
The identity of Joseph's wife is at best uncertain. The wife Ann(e) that D. H. Carpenter attributes to him was probably his stepmother, Ann (Weekes) Carpenter (see Carpenter [1901] 44; OBTR 1:644-47, 2:127-29, 650-51). Hinshaw gives Joseph's namesake son's mother as Anne, but while his main sources are original Quaker records, they are supplemented by others, some secondary (see Quaker Gen 1, 391). The younger Joseph's Musketa Cove birth record does not name his mother, and the otherwise informative Quaker record of his death names neither parent (see OBTR 2:350; Carpenter [1901] 64n and Hazard Index, both citing WMM-VR A:159). It is therefore probable that Hinshaw's identification of the younger man's mother as Anne derives ultimately from the D. H. Carpenter volume. Note, however, that the younger Joseph's first daughter was named Ann (Quaker Genealogy 391; Carpenter [1901] 66, 93). D. H. Carpenter's further supposition concerning the elder Joseph's wife--"we now think she was daughter of Thomas Thornycraft and sister to William Thornycraft"--is unsupported, as is the assertion of another author (whose Carpenter section builds upon Carpenter [1901]) that she was probably Mary Thornycraft (see Carpenter [1901] 44; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357).
Joseph3 had a second son, Thomas, who is said by D. H. Carpenter to have been born on 16 Aug. 1687 (OBTR 3:344-45 [1708 quitclaim, Joseph to "my Brother Thomas"]; Carpenter [1901] 44 [b. 15 Aug.], 67; Haviland Gen 110). Seeming to confirm this is the 1 Jan. 1859 account by Sarah C. Field (1797-1879) of a family record then in her possession or that of her mother, Jane (Haviland) Field (1765-1860), giving Thomas's birth date as "8 mo., 16th day, 1687" (Haviland Gen 186). Prior to 1752, however, the eighth month was not August but October (as consistent with the latter's Latin origin). Without informing the reader of his translations, D. H. Carpenter expresses with named months many dates that are actually recorded with numbered ones (including all those from Quaker records). Because his conversions of pre-1752 numbered-month dates are mistakenly based on modern reckoning, they are consistently off by two months. Note, however, that Thomas's corrected birth date, 16 October 1687, contains the same day and month as his brother Joseph's (see above). So while the October date is more reliable than the August one, the former should nevertheless be regarded with some caution. Thomas certainly had been born by 26 Nov. 1687: he and brother Joseph sold land to their uncle Nathaniel on 26 Nov. 1708 (OBTR 3:310-12).
The aforementioned family record gives the date of Joseph3's son Thomas's marriage as "10 mo., 14th day, 1708" [14 Dec. (not Oct.) 1708] (Haviland Gen 110 [Oct.], 186 [10 mo.]; see also Carpenter [1901] 67 [Oct.]). While his wife is identified therein only as Hannah, several secondary sources have her as Hannah Alsop, daughter of Thomas [sic] and Hannah (Underwood) Alsop (see, for example, Haviland Gen 110; Carpenter [1901] 67). This is doubly incorrect, however: First, the secondary literature has long accepted (albeit without documentation) that Hannah Underwood married the immigrant Richard Alsop; the earliest Thomas Alsop was their son, born in 1687 (also Thomas Carpenter's birth year), who married Susannah Blackwell (GMB 3:1862, 1863; Alsop Gen 3, 4; Underhill Gen 65). And second, Richard and Hannah Alsop's daughter Hannah married Joseph Sackett (Alsop Gen 2 [Richard Alsop will (transcr.), naming dau. Hannah Sackett], 4; Underhill Gen 66). There was a marriage between a Thomas Carpenter, son of Joseph, and a Hannah Alsop, daughter of Richard, but it occurred in 1777 (Hazard Index, citing WMM-VR A:250). The identity of Hannah, wife of the subject Thomas Carpenter, is unknown.

III) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (1) and Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter, was born about 1660, at Pawtuxet, and inherited the paternal estate, operating a mill and the plantation. There is a tradition that he was drowned trying to save the mill in a freshet. At any rate he died between September 9, 1687, and 1692. His wife Ann was probably a daughter of Thomas Thornycraft. Record of two sons is found: Joseph, mentioned below; Thomas, born August 15, 1687.


Ann Simpkins

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2009

The identity of Joseph’s wife is at best uncertain. The wife Ann(e) that D. H. Carpenter attributes to him was probably his stepmother, Ann (Weekes) Carpenter (see Carpenter [1901] 44; OBTR 1:644–47, 2:127–29, 650–51). Hinshaw gives Joseph’s namesake son’s mother as Anne, but while his main sources are original Quaker records, they are supplemented by others, some secondary (see Quaker Gen 1, 391). The younger Joseph’s Musketa Cove birth record does not name his mother, and the otherwise informative Quaker record of his death names neither parent (see OBTR 2:350; Carpenter [1901] 64n and Hazard Index, both citing WMM-VR A:159). It is therefore probable that Hinshaw’s identification of the younger man’s mother as Anne derives ultimately from the D. H. Carpenter volume. Note, however, that the younger Joseph’s first daughter was named Ann (Quaker Genealogy 391; Carpenter [1901] 66, 93). D. H. Carpenter’s further supposition concerning the elder Joseph’s wife "we now think she was daughter of Thomas Thornycraft and sister to William Thornycraft”--is unsupported, as is the assertion of another author (whose Carpenter section builds upon Carpenter [1901]) that she was probably Mary Thornycraft (see Carpenter [1901] 44; Cock-Cocks-Cox 357).

13. William Carpenter

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2009

D. H. Carpenter calls it "a _possibility_ amounting to a _probability_" (his emphases) that Elizabeth was the daughter of William's uncle Ephraim Carpenter and says that she died about 1743 (Carpenter [1901] 50); he fails to support either assertion, however. G. W. Cocks says that Elizabeth's parentage is "not certainly known, but may have been Moses and Elizabeth (Weeden) Mudge, then of Musketa Cove, who had a dau. Elizabeth, b. 28/12 mo. (Feb.) 1674" (Cock-Cocks-Cox 358, 385). Note that this is expressed as no more than a possibility. There is, moreover, no known basis for the assertion that Moses and Elizabeth Mudge had a daughter Elizabeth, let alone that she was born on the date stated (which is not to say that either is necessarily false). An Elizabeth Mudge was born at Northampton, Mass., 10 Oct. 1673 and another at Charlestown, Mass., 12 March 1674, but their respective parents and husbands are not those of the same-named woman mentioned by Cocks (see Mudge Gen 46, 49; TAG 81:25; Charlestown Gens 2:693). In the most recent and authoritative account of Moses Mudge and his family, Gale Ion Harris, FASG (citing an unpublished typescript by Harry Macy Jr., FASG) presents Mudge's issue as consisting of two sons and no daughters (see TAG 81:18-30, at 24 [24n38 corrects Mudge Gen 48]). Elizabeth (Mrs. William) Carpenter's maiden name is unknown. And in any case, since the one known record in which her forename appears as William's wife is dated in 1720 (see above), it is not certain that she was the mother of his children.

AFN 8MH8-HS and MTLC-5L (SP 4 Dec 1942) are the same person.
AFN V6TG-V9 (b. abt 1666) has a spouse named Hannah Haviland with one child
named Silas who had Timothy who married Elizabeth Anderson and they had
Jerimiah (b. 28 Aug 1760) who married Jane Shears.  Other than the AF, no
marriage or pedigree like this can be found.  Until confirmed we list Hannah as
a spouse for this William with mother as listed for Silas Carpenter.
Silas b. abt 1681 found as a son to Silas b. 1650, grandson to William
Carpenter.  Different mother however.  Moved to that family.

Another child: a Timothy Carpenter is alleged to be a son of William,
(Due to an error in a will extract book, Admiral Carpenter thought
the father of his Timothy was William.  Silas is the correct name for that
record.  It was Silas who owned land near Armonk and HIS son named
Timothy did not ever marry Phoebe Coles.  This caused much confusion.)
who owned land near Armonk in 1718.  The Timothy Carpenter married Phoebe
Coles was not the son of his William (NOW KNOWN CORRECTLY AS SILAS) per
Charles L. Carpenter, Rear Admiral USN Ret. (in a letter dated Dec. 12, 1974).

There was two (2) Timothy Carpeters in this time period who are often confused.
1) Timothy the son of William C. & Elizabeth Smith Mudge who married Phoebe
(Coles) of this William.   AND
2) Timothy the son of Silas C. & Jean or Jane Thornycraft who married Elizabeth
Anderson.   The now Deceased Admirial Carpenter had once thought the two might
be the same BUT thanks to corrections, wills and more research realized there
was 2 (TWO) Timothy Carpenters.  The Admiral is descended from the Timothy who
was the son of Silas (At one time erroneous known as William) Carpenter.

William acted as one of the Proprietors after the death of his brother Joseph
until 1706, when his nephew Joseph reached legal age.  The Town Records shows
very clearly that he was a large land-owner and prominent in the affairs of the
plantation.  He was a blacksmith by trade, and had his homestead and shop in
that part of town known as "Duck Pond."  He sold this property in 1720, and
probably moved to Westchester county, though he still had landed interests at
Musketa Cove as late as 1734.

14. Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky Ojai, California from 2009 - For the most up to date version of his notes, see the CHILDREN section at Joseph2 Carpenter.

Children of Joseph2 and Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter, i-iv born probably at Pawtuxet (Warwick) (birth order uncertain):

v. NATHANIEL CARPENTER, b. Pawtuxet (Warwick) or Musketa Cove between say 1668 and 10 Feb. 1672[/3?] (grantee 10 Feb. 1693[/4?]), d. North Castle 25 2nd mo. [April (not Feb.)] 1730; m. Musketa Cove 5 Nov. 1690, TAMAR COLES, b. 18 May 1673, dau. of Robert and Mercy (Wright?) Coles (OBTR 1:652-53, 655, 2:101-3; FMM-VR 220; MacDonough-Hackstaff 455).

Nathaniel is said to have been probably the first white child born at Musketa Cove (see Carpenter [1901] 43, 50). This, however, is based on the unsupported assertion that he was born in the summer of 1668 and the questionable assumption that both parents had settled on Long Island by that time (see Carpenter [1901] 50; OBTR 2:682; RESIDENCES, above). The record of his death calls him Nathaniel "Juner," but the only other man of that name known to have been residing at North Castle at the time was his son, who died in late 1758 (see FMM-VR 220; Quaker Gen 63; NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85). An item in the 1 Jan. 1759 issue of the _New-York Mercury_ is often said online to refer to the elder Nathaniel but in fact concerns the estate settlement of his recently deceased son. Naming "Captain Nathaniel Carpenter, deceas'd, of North-Castle, in Westchester County, and Province of New-York," the notice was placed by Caleb Fowler and Caleb Green, "Executors, in said County" (Hist Newspapers). The latter two men were brothers-in-law of the younger Nathaniel, whose will names them as executors (NYWills 5:274; Carpenter [1901] 85-86).

[End of Gene Zubrinsky's notes]

Old Notes:

Number 14 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1901.

A blacksmith and large landowner, he was prominent in the affairs of the plantation at Musketa Cove.   He later moved to Westchester County, NY where he was a Captain in the Militia.

BIRTH: 12 May 1667 in Rehoboth belongs to another Nathaniel Carpenter.

DEATH: "Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter of Northcastle, NY, West Co., NY, deceased.
A Carpenter.  Sons-in-law Caleb Fowler, Caleb Green." per the New York "Mercury" for January 1, 1759.
SEE: also Minutes of Friends' Meeting, North Castle who referred to Nathaniel Carpenter as "Juner".  Same death date.

CHILD: Not Proven. Solomon Carpenter, possibly a son, as noted genealogist Boutwell Dunlap thought that a brother to the Joseph of this Nathaniel Carpenter settled near Joseph when he came to VA.
Soloman was probably related but not a child in this family.

FOUNDER: Nathaniel Carpenter is considered the founder of the Virginia (VA) Carpenters through his sons John and Joseph who moved into Virginia. Nathaniel was the son of Joseph Carpenter, the grandson of William Carpenter of Amesbury, the founder of the Providence, RI Branch of the Carpenters.
Nathaniel was the son of Hannah Carpenter, the grandson of Captain William Carpenter, the founder of the Rehoboth, MA Branch of the Carpenters.

Gene Zubrinsky writes:
George W. Cocks lists Ann as a "supposed" child of Joseph and Ann (Weekes) Carpenter and calls the claim of her marriage to Joseph Weekes "also doubtful" (_History and Genealogy of the Cock-Cocks-Cox Family ... . . of Oysterbay, Long Island, N.Y._, 2nd ed. [New York, 1914], 357). Only D. H. Carpenter (1901) presents Ann Carpenter, and her marriage to Joseph Weekes, without qualification; he provides no documentation, however.
The only Joseph Weekes known to have been on Long Island at this time was baptized in New Amsterdam 31 March 1647, the son of Francis and Elizabeth (______) Weekes. That Joseph's wives, however, were (1) Hannah Reddock (before 1673) and (2) Hannah (Crooker) Forman (by 1699)(Robert Charles Anderson, _The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634–1635, Volume 7 T–Y_ [Boston, 2011], 279; Josephine C. Frost, _Ancestors of Frank Herbert Davol and His Wife, Phebe Downing Willits_ [New York, 1925], 191).
The husband Joseph Week(e)s attributed to Ann Carpenter is sometimes said to have been born in Dorchester, Mass., 26 March 1670 and baptized at Roxbury, Mass., 3 April 1670. But this son of Joseph2 Weeks (George1) apparently married Deliverance _______ and was from a Massachusetts family unrelated to the Long Island Week(e)ses(see Robert D. Weeks, _Genealogy of the Family of George Weekes, of Dorchester, Mass., 1635–1650_ [Newark, N.J., 1885), 213–14).

MARRIAGE: AF has spouse as Joseph, son of Joseph and Mary (Antherton) Weeks.
"Genealogy of Francis Weekes . . . and Collateral Lines" by Dr. Frank Edgar
Weeks (Kipton, OH, 1938) PP. 52, 53, 115 to 118 and 128; indicates that
Ann married Samuel, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Reddocke or Reddbeke)
Weekes.

Gene Zubrinsky writes:
George W. Cocks gives Ann's husband first as Joseph Weekes ("doubtful") and later as "?Samuel Weekes" (_History and Genealogy of the Cock-Cocks-Cox Family . . . of Oyster Bay, Long Island, N.Y._, 2nd ed. [New York, 1914], 357, 384, 385, 386). Even a link this tenuous is found nowhere else in reliable sources.

Martha Feake

MARRIAGE, BIRTH DATES: In his _History and Genealogy of the Carpenter Family in America, from the Settlement at Providence, R.I., 1637-1901_ (Jamaica, N.Y., 1901), Daniel Hoogland Carpenter presents the month of the Carpenter-Feake marriage as August. This is a misinterpretation of "eighth month," which, in Old Style (pre-1752) dating, was October (the first month of the year was March). The same interpretation applies to Martha's birth month, which D. H. Carpenter gives as "8m.," in accordance with the original record.
