In response to the excerpt from the original posting provided below, I am
interested in more information on the Carpenters of Dutchess County, New
York. For more details on my line of research, please see my recent posting
to this list:

CARPENTERS of ENGLAND to AMERICA
Listers,
Gene was kind enough to help me understand the flaws in the English line of
Carpenters that I always took for granted. This REALLY HELPED ME and he has
given permission to post it to the list as I thought it may help others too.
Below is an outline I made after reading the "Colonial Carpenters" edited by
G.N. MacKenzie with added notes by Gene which start with #9 William.
Thanks, Gene, for your permission to post this !
CARPENTERS of ENGLAND TO AMERICA

William CARPENTER b: Abt. 1662 in NY, Long Is.>Dutchess Co. NY d: Aft. 1781
in NY, Dutchess Co. [Seversmith (2:548) gives his birth year as "about
1668" and date of death, at Hempstead (L.I.), N.Y., as 21 February 1749;
res. Jamaica in 1707 (had inherited father's homestead there).]
.........................................................................
+ELIZABETH b: Aft. 1684
["She would have to be born "AFTER" 1684 if Daniel is born 1734]
[Seversmith (2:548) gives no date of birth for Elizabeth or Daniel but says
that the latter bought a farm in Dutchess Co., N.Y., in 1753. This, of
course, implies a birth year for him no later than 1732--probably much
earlier, if his father was born in the 1660s.]
