Subject: Cousins: close or not so close?
I seek common ancestors of this married couple:
Experience CARPENTER m. Thomas Greenman CARPENTER. Experience was b.
1755/6, MA or RI, the dau of Daniel and Deborah (---) CARPENTER; d. 6 Feb
1804, Hancock, Berkshire, MA.
Thomas was b. 9 May 1757, the son of Joseph and Sarah (GREENMAN) CARPENTER
of So. Kingstown, Washington, RI; d. 30 Jan 1834.
I would like to determine how this couple was related. I have an extensive
ancestry for Thomas (Joseph-5; Soloman-4; Soloman-3; Samuel-2; William
Jr.-1) but need help with the ancestry of Daniel.

There's ALWAYS another day !
If not ALWAYS, then for a very long time, surely.
Well, at least for quite a while yet, probably.
How about 'till day after tomorrow, maybe?

Hi, John,
What a coincidence that our posts ended up adjacent in the Digest.
Your Soloman CARPENTER was b. 23 Dec 1677 Pawtucket, Providence, I; m.
1696, Elizabeth TEFFT; d. 1750 South Kingstown, Washington, RI. As you
can see from my post (just preceding), Soloman's CARPENTER ancestry is well
established. You'll find him on p. 59 of the Bugbee book, and you can work
back from there. Also, relevant CARPENTER data appears in Lewis, E. R. and
Lewis, W. W. Some Descendants of Four Pioneer Families. Private printing,
1972. (Copy # 23 was on shelf at the Syracuse (NY) Public Library in 1995.
That has a new name: Onondaga (County?) Public Library. By the way,
Elizabeth's mother's generation changed the spelling of their surname from
Jenckes to Jencks, or perhaps someone else changed it for them.
All this leaves me with 2 more questions, with which you may be able to
help. First, what is the source and page numbers for your Soloman's children?
Second, do you have their marriage data?
