One of the 'fower children' from england to New England via BEVIS in 1638.
Deacon William Carpenter, son of William and Abigail Carpenter, was born in England about 1631 or 1632, and died in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, January 26, 1703, aged seventy-two years.
William was sent as deputy to the Plymouth Court in 1656. He was elected town clerk of Rehoboth, May 13, 1668, and held the office until his death, with the exception of one year, namely 1693. He was one of the purchasers of the northpurchase and drew his lot in the meadow, May 26, 1668. Duringt the same year he was sent to the General Court of Plymouth as the deputy and later in the same year was defendant in that Court; also in 1668 he was chosen deacon of the church. In1670 he was one of a committee to settle the bounds betw the town of Taunton and the north purchase. He was clerk of the community of the north purchase in 1682, and the folowing year was one of a committee to sell the meetinghous
In 1658 he was chosen to survey the eighty-three fifty-acre lots for the shareholders of the north purchse. He was a man of superior ability, accurate in all of his business transactions, and a reliable councillor in the colony; and he wasnoted also for his superior penmanship, as all his writings show. His house stood on the left hand side of the road leading from the East Providence meetinghouse to Rehoboth, MA, some fifty to sixty rods from the crossing of the 'ten mileriver,' on a rise of land, which was one of the pleasantest spots for a house in that locality. His estate amounted to more than 215 English pounds.
William married first, October 05, 1651, Priscilla Bennett (b. 1632 in England), was daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Bennett, who died October 20, 1663, the same day that her son Benjamin was born in Rehoboth, MA. Priscilla bore four ofWilliam's 13 known children: John b. 19 Oct 11652; William b. 20 June 1659; Priscilla b. 24 July 1661 and Benjamin b. 10 October 1663.
William married a second time, at Rehoboth, MA, February 10, 1664, Miriam Searles (spelled 'Sale' in CARPENTER & ALLIED FAMILIES). Miriam was born about 1639, died in Rehoboth, May 1, 1722, daughter of Edward and Margaret 'Sale'. (Her age isgiven as '93' on her tombstone; an obvious error, probably for 83, as her parents were married 'about 1636" and her twelfth child was born in 1687, when, if the tombstone date were correct, she would have been fifty-eight years of age.)
Miriam bore 9 of William's children: Josiah b. 1664; Nathaniel b. 1667; Daniel b. 1669; Noah b. 1673; Miriam b. 1674; Obadiah b. 1677-78; Ephraim b. 1681; Hannah b. 1684; and Abigail b. 1687.
