(Ibid, vol. 9, p. 31.)Source for directly above: New England Historic Genealogical SocietyThe 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 Joseph10 until 1706, when his nephew Joseph19 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 County, though he still had landed interests at Musketa Cove as late as 1734. He died about 1735. Regarding the wife of William Carpenter we can only say that beyond knowing that her name was Elizabeth all is conjecture. Various names have been suggested for her family, but as each have been traced they have shown the fallacy of the suggestion. There is a possibility amounting to a probability that she was his cousin, daughter of Ephraim Carpenter, iv. She died about 1743.That he had a large family is evident, but, as in some other cases, only the male members can be traced; yet the others here named are undoubtedly of his family.
