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:
