Descendants of Richard Carpenter


Generation No. 7


15. ELEANOR8 CARPENTER (ROBERT7, WILLIAM6, WILLIAM5, JOHN4, JOHN3, RICHARD2, JOHN1)57 was born Abt. 1545 in Wiltshire, England. She married ROBERT CARPENTER58 Abt. 1575 in England59, son of WILLIAM CARPENTER and ELIZABETH CARPENTER. He was born Abt. 1545 in Sarum, Wiltshire, England, and died 1607 in Marden, Wiltshire, England.

Notes for E
LEANOR CARPENTER:
Eleanor was a 2nd cousin, 1 generation removed with a common ancestor of William Carpenter of Marden.

Notes for R
OBERT CARPENTER:
Bequeathed money to Salisbury Cathedral (Old Sarum), which is added evidence for his descent from Vicar Richard Carpenter who had served as Vicar General to the Bishop of Salisbury. He also bequeathed certain lands to his oldest son William and grandson William as well as to his son Richard Carpenter.

This will, copy now at the Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, is the only one ever found in England that agrees with all the proven facts about the American Carpenter Family. The success in proving this lineage after 300 years of failure was achieved through the superlative work of England Genealogist Harry F. Rogers of Abington, England

REGISTER OF EXETER COLLEGE:

(one of the various residential collegesof Oxford University)

Robert Carpenter, Sar. 1568, removed 30 June 1579 for absence in Ireland; B.A. 22 Nov. 1571, M.A. 18 June 1575; 10 Nov. 1575 allowed leave of absence for 4 years to teach in a school or the like, because of his poverty.

The expression "because of his poverty" has to be seen in historical context, or a widespread economic downturn in Wiltshire, resulting in the financial ruin and deprivation of many of the best area families.
