Dear John L. and Bill,
We have two separate William Carpenters here.
1) William Carpenter-662 (b. abt 1608 to 1611) is the son of Richard
Carpenter-669 (b. abt 1575/1578) and grandson of Robert Carpenter of
Marden-14708 (who married Eleanor Carpenter-14714).
He is the greatgrandson of William Carpenter of Marden-14711 b. abt 1520
(who married Elizabeth Carpenter-14707).
Eleanor Carpenter-14714 is the daughter of Robert Carpenter-24965.
Elizabeth Carpenter-14707 is the daughter of John Carpenter-93.
2) Captain William Carpenter-584 (b. 23 May 1605) is the son of William
Carpenter of Wherwell-98 b. 1576)and grandson of Robert Carpenter of
Marden-14708 WHO married Eleanor Carpenter-14714.
He is ALSO the greatgrandson of William Carpenter of Marden-14711 b. abt
1520 (who married Elizabeth Carpenter-14707).
Eleanor Carpenter-14714 is the daughter of Robert Carpenter-24965.
Elizabeth Carpenter-14707 is the daughter of John Carpenter-93.
In summary - William Carpenter Capt.-584 and William Carpenter-662 are
1st cousins. Their common ancestors are Robert Carpenter of
Marden-14708 and Eleanor Carpenter-14714.
Please see the attached text report. Page 6 and 9 for the first
mentions.
I hope this clear this confusion up. You can see with all these
multiple Carpenter lines how things got really confused. It took wills
and patience to unwrap these threads and commonalities apart!
Sincerely,
John R. Carpenter
La Mesa, CA
