Emphatically, yes. Compare, for example, Daniel Hoogland Carpenter's
treatment of Joseph2 Carpenter of Providence and Warwick, R.I., and Oyster
Bay,
Long Island, N.Y., and his family to the Joseph2 Carpenter sketch online
via the
hyperlink at
http://members.cox.net/jrcrin001/carplink.htm. (Joseph
appears on the links webpage as the husband of Hannah3 Carpenter of
Rehoboth.)
Among the things DHC gets wrong: Joseph2's approximate birth year; his
birthplace; the date of his first marriage and that it was to his second
cousin; the
maiden name of his second wife's mother; his brother Ephraim's supposed
visit
to Rhode Island to convey the news of Joseph's death; the town in which was
located the corn mill he owned while living at Warwick; the amount of land
he
purchased from the Matinecock Indians in 1668; the number of his children
and
the identity of one of them
