Hi John
I am descended from Joseph of the New York Carpenters, who settled on the
Big Bend of the Jackson River in 1750.
My DNA goes back to William of Providence

some cousins there. I'm descended in the male line from Wm of Providence
and also from Hannah, daughter of Wm of Rehoboth. Our DNA shows a large
line of Carpenters from VA to be kin as well, but no one has the data for
that as yet. Maybe this meeting could give someone an idea of where to
find
it.
