i was just wondering if you could help me, im just wondering if my
relation that is my 8th great grand farther william carpenter 1689-1789 is related
to carpenters that went to the u.s.a on the bevis all i seem to know about
him is that he came from south leigh or witney in oxfordshire england, he
married elizabeth hawkins in 1736 and mary lainchberry in 1740 but i think
there is a problem with mary because there is 31 years age diffrence
here is some info that may help

live long. I have also added the burial date of first wife.
