Dear Bruce,
I have no Edward Carpenter (Charpentier) in that time period in my
records or notes.
Your data indicates he probably died shortly before 12 June 32 (1332) by
the phrase "Three shops late of Edward Carpenter of Templestreet."
He was probably a relative of Queen Philippa, who was the grand daughter
of Godefroy de Carpentier, Sire de Daniel and d'Avesnes-les-Obert
(benefactor of the Abbey of Vaucelles according to a title of the year
1280, and brother of the aforesaid Siger, Sire de Vannes).
If you find any more data on his life, let us know.
Sincerely,
John R. Carpenter

Abigail Carpenter was born 9 Apr 1643 in Weymouth, Norfolk, MA, daughter of
William Carpenter and Abigail SEARLES. She married John TITUS in 1659. At
least that is what I have thought for several years. But, I just found
some conflicting information
which has me confused. Not only was her mother referred to with a
different name, but her line of descent in the Carpenter family is shown
differently. Can anyone confirm my data?

Dear Bruce,
JOHN CARPENTER was a member of the English Parliament in 1323 for the
borough of Leskard in Cornwall, as was 2 years afterwards a Stephen
Carpenter for Crediton in the county of Devon (ie in 1325). A Henry
Carpenter served in 1418, for the town of Derby. Per Playfairs British
Antiquities, London 1810.
I guess this was not a name pulled out of a hat. Check it out your
self. Sources were available to Amos B. Carpenter. He cites them
starting on page one (1) of his work.
As I pointed out before, there is other definitions to be used from the
dictionaries based on the use at that period in time. Chaundeler can be
a broker or trader (of gold, wool etc.) especially associated with the
shipping trade. It has been proven that the French & English Carpenters
were related and involved in such trading.
The Carpenters of this time were well educated and well to do because
the were nobles. The ancestry in the French line indicates this.
You provided additional proof that ... "John's non-English origins are
betrayed by the French version of his name in the original document. The
quotation is extremely brief, stating name and occupation. It is from
the Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1272-128l. It is precisely dated May 12,
1273 under the heading "Licenses to Export Wool" and reads "Jean le
Carpenter, merchant". From an E-Mail message dated 13 July 1999 By Bruce
E. Carpenter. (Where to export - France!)
Jean Le Carpentier (b. abt 1250)- Lord of Daniel et Avesnes les Aubert,
Du Nord, France had a powerful father... Godefroy de Carpentier, Sire
de Daniel and d'Avesnes-les-Obert ... who married Aleida Countess
Holland. One of Godefroy's great grandchildren (Philippa) married on 24
Jan 1327 the newly crowned King Edward the Third of England.
See: GENEALOGY OF THE DE CARPENTIER FAMILY OF HOLLAND BY EDWIN JAQUETT
SELLERS, printed in PHILADELPHIA, PA in 1909. AND La chronique de
Baudouin d'Avesnes Notice extraite du repertoire The Narrative Sources
from the Southern Low Countries, 600-1500. See also: Longman, W.,
History of the Life and Times of Edward the Third, 2 vols. (1869;
repr. 1979) MacKinnon, James, History of Edward the Third: 1327-1377
(1900; repr. 1974). Packe, M., King Edward III (1983).
Later Bruce E. Carpenter wrote (27 July 1999):
Jean le Carpenter was among a select group given the rights to export
wool in 1273. Jean had to be a true `bigwig' with money going to all
the right places, as had to be Sir John Carpenter with all his lands
held from King Edward lll and consort Queen Philippa. Money and power!
Money and power! History can be a better tool than strict genealogy.
Even though in 1272 Edward the First became King of England with Eleanor
of Castile, I agree that Jean le Carpentier had to be a 'bigwig' as the
later Sir John Carpenter who held many lands (the same lands noted in
the Domesday Book of 1097 by the way) from King Edward the Third and his
wife, Queen Phillipa. Money and Power AND MIGHT I ADD FAMILY.
Jean le Carpentier (b. abt 1303/1305 at de Grand Pont,Du Nord,France -
He was a noble)or Sir John Carpenter (as he was known in England) and
Queen Phillipa were SECOND COUSINS. Marriages for the King of England
was arranged more for political reasons that anything else. History can
be a better tool than strict genealogy by understanding how things
worked AT THOSE TIMES.
Has there been a document found that states John or Jean Carpentier is
the father of Richard? At this time, none has been found.
Did Maurice exist? Yes - according to French records. Did he have a
son named Jean (John in England)? Yes. Did Maurice go to England? Yes.
In the Samuel Carpenter book of 1912, page 4 is:
"The most ancient coat of arms of the Carpenters has for the device in
the field three cross crosslets, which appear in many pedigrees filed in
the Herald office in London. These lines were located chiefly in the
counties of Hereford and Gloucester. The arms borne by the Carpenters of
Homme in Herefordshire show the three cross crosslets, and the same
appears in a lineage of several generations commencing about 1300 with a
Maurice Carpenter, or Carpender, Gent., in the County of Gloucester, and
reported in the Herald Visitation in that county. These arms were also
borne by the Earls of Tyrconnel, whose descent was through the
Carpenters of Homme. Burke says that this family was of great antiquity
in Herefordshire."
If the line of Richard (b. abt 1335), John the elder(b. abt 1399)-
(brother to John the younger), John the younger (b. abt 1410) to William
of Homme (b. 1440) is true and the above statement from the Herald
Visitation is true ... then it is reasonable to assume that a child of
Maurice was the father of Richard.
Since only two of Maurice's children have been found in the English
Records, those being for; John OR Jean CARPENTIER (b. abt 1303) and for
a Renaud OR Richard CARPENTIER (b. abt 1307). It is reasonable to assume
that one of these two continued the line to be the father of Richard (b.
abt 1335).
Is there absolute proof? - NO. Is it a myth? - No because those people
did exist historicaly. Is it the best guess? - Probably based on the
knowledge we have at this time.
So I say, let us NOT be rid of this venerable, but quite annoying best
guess.
Sincerely,
John R. Carpenter

Dear Gene,
James Aussie Carpenter started his slow decline about that time period.
His wife has since died and he is in a convalesent facility as of
January 1999. It is true his later work declined but some of his
earlier works were pretty good.
At one time, he was the only Carpenter publishing a general newsletter
on Carpenters and especially the Southern Carpenters!.
The most current Carpenter newsletter is being done by Bette Butcher
Topp. I do not know how much longer she will keep printing however.

I forgot to mention that NC had some Zimmerman Carpenters of good German
and Swiss stock.
If anyone has a good GEDCOM of the Carpenters that came from the

The second significant group of London area Carpenters was those centered
about a Edward Carpenter. Edwards Carpenter surname was frequently rendered
as Charpenter, a convention in 14th century documents for those of the
denizen status or non-citizens, to be distinguished from those who were
aliens. The denizens were the foreign permanent residents engaged in
essential foreign trade. Those of the surname Charpenter in English records
were Carpentiers of Charpentiers among themselves. After a few generations
they were simply Carpenters, the many Charpenters having seemingly
disappeared in the late 1300s. Thus from about 1250 to 1350 a great number
of non-English Carpenters make their appearance in English records and then
blend into the native populace. This event takes place against the backround
of the Hundred Years War when the English crown eagerly sought foreign help
in a great miltary struggle on the continent. A premier group of these
non-English carpenters were those associated with Edward Carpenter or
Charpenter mentioned above. Previously I had shown that Edward was probably
a Fleming. I have found additional evidence to support this in a
connection with Queen Philippa. This document in from The calendar of Patent
Rolls for Edward lll in 1360, years after the death of Edward Charpenter.
Inspeximus and confirmation of letters patent (in French) of Queen Philippa
(1) dated at Marlborough, 12 June, 32 Edward lll, granting to John de
Gosebourn, auditor of her accounts, for long service , 32 ½ acres of land
which have come into her hand by escheat in the in the hundred of
Middleton, co. Kent, to hold to him, his heirs and assigns, for her life, by
the services due.
(2) The like, dated at Reading, 10 June, 33 Edward lll, granting to him
three shops late of Edward Carpenter of Templestreet, a tenement late of
Geoffrey Dubbere at the Blyndyate, a tenement there late of John
Brokensbergh, a tenement late of Robert Hattere by the Church of All Saints,
seven shops late of Edward Hattere, a teneament late of Robert Guldere in
Horstrete and four shops before the friars Preachers, which came into her
hand by escheat in the town of Bristol, to hold as above.
Grant also that if he survive the queen he shall retain the premises for his
life.
>From the names like Dubbere, Hattere and Guldere we can infer we are dealing
with a group of Flemings in a financial connection to the Fleming Queen
Philippa. I think we can safely assume Edward was a Fleming himself given
the material also previously quoted. Edward, as I had shown was a major
player in the London area of the early 1300s, as was his son Robert. These
Carpenter merchants had a bit of history already in England, and as I will
show in my next letter, they imported Flemish wine and no doubt exported
English wool. They grew extremely rich and exerted a the powerful influence
on the English crown as was shown in previous letters devoted to Carpenters
and Lancastrian politics.

Hi. My name is Kris.
I'm new to this list. As I read the e-mails I see that people are trying to

Oakland Co., others in Eaton Co., He is listed on the 1850 and 1860 Census
in Eaton Co., Delta Twnshp, and then gone so don't know what happened to him
after that. William H. and Cecil C. were his only surviving children. Cecil
is my line. William and Cecil married sisters as per above. William and
Maryette (aka, Marietto) had at least one child named Carrie or Cassie.
William and wife are listed on the 1870 Census still in Delta Twnshp, Eaton

How do any of these Carpenters link up with any other Carpenters.

Dear Linda,
I wish it did include the Zimmerman lines of PA, LA, VA and NC. This
because I get alot of requests on them. Unfortunately, the current job
on the English Carpenters of French descent is all I can handle at this
time.
I am still looking for someone to compile a record of the Carpenter /
Zimmermans. Do you know of anyone interested?
Thanks for asking,
John R. Carpenter

I'm sorry but your weak link is still not positive. The attached file

I was thinking about your John Carpenter and thought of the Georgia land
lotteries held (after Georgia's boundaries became finalized in 1802)
that were held in 1803, 1806, 1819, 1827 and 1832.
Those people living in the state for at least a year were eligible for
land areas upto 400 acres in size.
That your John Carpenter suddenly appears about 1804 in the current
Putman county is right after the first land lottery. The Office of
Secretary of State (and other locals) has the lists of the lottery
participants.
Putnam county was created in 1807 from Baldwin county which was created
in 1803. At least one Baldwin county history book has been written per
my "handybook." Baldwin county was created out of the Creek Indian
Lands which was unorganized or "indian" lands.
The following may be duplicative but ...
"My first record of him is when he paid taxes in Hancock, GA in 1804. He
entered the GA Land Lottery in 1805, as a bachelor, and drew one lot, #
866. For him to do this, he must have been in GA for at least a year. He
was married around 1805 as well, I believe. His wife's name was Mary, b.
ca 1790. She was believed to be Indian, Cherokee. He apparently moved,
to Putnam Co., GA, paying taxes in 1815." Per Daniel Carter (below).
>From what you sent me, this seems to match up with name (John), spouse's
name (Mary), and location (Putnam county).

Page 46: 1. John (17) Carpenter presented Solomon's discharge in
Botetourt County court in February of 1780 and proved Solomon (15)'s
Ranger service. He was identified as "son of Thomas Carpenter and heir
of Solomon Carpenter" on this date and was issued a warrant for 60 acres
of land as such. This relationship was restated in another Botetourt
County court case on 5 May 1791.
Brother Reuben, this John & grandson of Reuben Thomas were listed on the
1803 GA tax roll. In 1805 Henry, John & Thomas were listed in the
Lincoln Co. Georgia Land Lottery.

Hi, sorry I did not supply enough information in my first E-mail. Here
is what I have on him: John CARPENTER, b. ca. 1773 in VA.
My first record of him is when he paid taxes in Hancock, GA in 1804. He
entered the GA Land Lottery in 1805, as a batchelor, and drew one lot, #
866. For him to do this, he must have been in GA for at least a year. He
was married around 1805 as well, I believe. His wifes name was Mary, b.
ca 1790. She was believed to be Indian, Cherokee. He apparently moved,
to Putnam Co., GA, paying taxes in 1815. He entered the 1820 GA Land
Lottery, having two draws, receiving his land in Irving and Early County
Districts. He was enumerated on the 1820 Federal census of Hancock Co.,
GA. He was shown with his wife Mary, five boys and four girls:
Hamilton Carpenter, b. ca. 1808, Deborah Carpenter, b. ca. 1810, George
W.Carpenter, b. ca. 1811, Nancy Carpenter, b. ca. 1813, Bical Carpenter,
b. ca. 1814, John Carpenter, b. 1815, Eleazar "Eli" Carpenter, b. 1816,
James Carpenter, b. 1817, Sarah H. Carpenter, b. 1825.
John Carpenter died around 1839. Mary died ca. 1857. Hope this
information helps. it is all I have on he and his wife. I have plenty on
the children and the resulting families. I am descended from Hamilton.
Thank you for responding, Daniel Carter.

I hope this helps and is not too duplicative.
