I've come across a book written by Elias Carver in 1903 - "Genealogy of William
Carver from Hertfordshire, England in 1682". According to this source, William and
his brothers, Joseph and Jacob came to from England in 1682 on the "Samson", and
settled in Byberry, Philadelphia County, PA. They apparently lived in a cave there until
they were able to build a house. Their brother, John, and his wife, Mary Lane, had
arrived earlier that year on the ship, "Welcome" along with William Penn.
This book has William and Joan Kinsey Carver's daughter, Sarah, marrying a ____
Marshall. William and Joan are my eight-great-grandparents (William & Joan Kinsey;
William & Elizabeth Walmsley; William & Sarah Strickland; William & Phebe
Worthington; James & Mary Paxson; Paxson & Elizabeth Ott; Nathan & Almira
Cramer; and my great-grandparents, Frank & Mary Merry).
I've also found information on these Carvers in "Early Friends Families of Upper
Bucks" and "History of Bucks County Pennsylvania".
I hope that this gives you some new leads.
