Hello,
Donna is correct. And I thank her for her efforts on this!
Thomas Passmore, carpenter - an occupation name - not a surname.
Name variants: PASMERE / PASSMORE / PASMORE
AKA: Thomas Pashmere Carpenter b. abt 1607 Plymouth, Devon, England, UK of
Robert Carpenter.
I concur that Thomas Passmore, carpenter was not a surname Carpenter.
While the Cherokee Carpenter story is romantic and has the style of an epic
or royal type family, the preponderance of the facts indicate it is fiction.
I compiled what Donna has put together with some of the material that I
found into a text file. If anyone is interested in reading the details,
please send me an email and ask for the Cherokee Carpenters text.

Looking at the information below, I think the logical conclusion is that
Thomas Passmore of early Virginia was not a carpenter by surname but of
occupation. Hope this helps someone.
