William CARPENTER

Notes:

Name:
The first mention of him is found in the will of his grandfather, 1683, and in 1692 he appears at Pawtuxet, when he sold the property so given by will.

He acted as one of the Proprietors after the death of his brother Joseph until 1706, when his nephew Joseph, attained legal age. A glance at 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 the town known as "Duck Pond." He sold this property in 1720, and probably at this date removed to Westchester Count, though he still had landed interests at Musketa Cove as late as 1734. He died about 1735.

Family/Spouse: Elizabeth ?. Elizabeth died about 1743. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
