Joe,
An addenda was added dated May, 3, 1984 as page Ia of the 1976 TC book. See
attached image.
Some of his descendants are living here in San Diego. Years ago, I met them
and updated the genealogy. Most of the Admiral's individual note cards have
been destroyed, but a few still exist. His draft for the THE DESCENDANTS OF
WILLIAM CARPENTER (of) Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, dated March
28, 1988, was re-published for researchers. But, that draft was a far cry
from his 1976 TC book quality.
Below is some notes.

From the notes of Timothy Carpenter-8;
The Timothy Carpenter of Pittstown, NY was born abt 1715 not 24 Oct 1721.
The error was found and corrected using the following information.
1) Letter of Charles L. Carpenter in 1976 indicating that the Timothy
Carpenter
born 24 Oct 1721 was not his Timothy Carpenter, and the addenda (update)
to the Timothy Carpenter book dated 3 May 1984 by the same person.
2) Carpenter Related Family History Journal, Vol. 3, No.1, page 11:
SOURCE: A corrected will of the New York Historical Society Collections
Volumes found by Louise Carpenter Licklider states in abstract:

one-third
of all moveables. All houses and lands to be sold. I leave to my

3) Raymond George Carpenter concurs and James Ausie Carpenter states, "I am

Louise
A-1 proof of Lineage."

Subject: [CARPENTER] Looking for addendums to the book - The descendants of
Timothy Carpenter of Pittstown
I've recently been browsing the book *Carpenter, Charles Lorain, The
descendants of Timothy Carpenter of Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., New York
Machias, Me.: News-Journal, 1976, 198 pgs*. (
http://bit.ly/ZUxW0O) and was
wondering if there are any updates that have been made since the original
publication in 1976? The author, Charles Carpenter, originally inherited
the information from his father, but it is unknown (to me anyway) if he in
turn passed along the reins to an offspring.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Joe Carpenter
