Notes for J
OHN CARPENTER:
John came from England with his father and when young went to Connecticut; was there previous to 1646, when he must have been about 17 years old. It appears that he drifted about Connecticut several years working at the trade of a carpenter. He had some difficulty with one Gibbons and was assisted by Thomas Osborn. His brother Joseph appeared as plaintiff at Hartford, June, 1648. In the year 1660 John bought land in Hempstead, Long Island and in the deed he is called "John Carpenter of Huntington, Conn." He is mentioned in his fathers will of April 21, 1658, in which he gives him one mare, being the old white mare, etc, and to the grandson, (son of the aforesaid John) twenty shillings to buy him a calf. It appears that the name of the son was not known at the time or it would have been mentioned. John Carpenter was in Stratford, Conn., in the year 1646. Hinman says that the John Carpenter of Hempstead, Long Island, was accepted as a freeman by the General Court of Connecticut where he chose to be a freeman of that State, May, 1664, and with him were some twenty others. He was chosen Townsman of Hempstead, Long Island, in the year 1663. He bought land in Jamaica, Long Island, in the year 1665.

Captain John, Sr. and Captain John, Jr. received their titles by virtue of being Captain of Jamaica Fusileers, a military Company of that day. The first Captain John Carpenter (McDonald), was captain of a company of fusileers in the year 1673, and is also mentioned in the Doc. History of New York as being ordered in
1673, with his company, to defend Fort Jamaica, N.Y., against the fleet of the Prince of Orange. It was at the time of the re-capture of New York by the Dutch.

Captain John Carpenter was a resident of Jamaica, L.I. previous to the year 1664; was one of the patentees of the town under the "Dongan Patent" of 1680. John Carpenter and Nehemiah Smith were a committee to settle the Rev. John Pruden over the church at Jamaica, June, 19, 1681.

Judge Morgan Carpenter, now deceased, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., had among his papers the sale dower dated 1704, in which Hannah Carpenter, of Jamaica, L.I., sells her rights in houses and lands, left by her late husband, Captain John Carpenter, to her son, William Carpenter.

A tract of land was bought by John Carpenter 1st, in Jamaica and occupied by him and three generations after him, each named John; the last one died young and was not married.

The tax of Captain John Carpenter 1st, in 1683, was on 186 pounds sterling; the list on which the above rate was made up stood as follows: Two horses, two oxen, five cows, eleven yearlings, 10 swine, fifty-two acres of land, and two heads, valued as above. His will of Nov. 10, 1694, stated "Now ancient, crazy in body, but sound in mind," etc. The names in the will are Hannah, his wife; John, Hope, Samuel, and William, his sons; Ruth, his daughter; Solomon, a grandson; Abigail and Hannah, granddaughters. He leaves his carpenter tools to his sons. He appeared to have been a man of superior judgment who did much to assist in building up the community. His brother-in-law, Joseph, a son of William of Providence, settled at Musceta Cove, L.I. at about the same time; the relationship
probably had much to do with the settlement of the families in that locality.

Notes for J
OHN TITUS:
One of the original purchasers of the Rehoboth North Purchase (Later Attleboro, Bristol Co., Ma.). Information on John Titus descendants were obtained from
Note: Engaged in King Philip's War in 1675.

One of the original purchasers of the Rehoboth North Purchase (later Attleboro, Bristol Co., MA). He and his son John were engaged in King Philip's War of 1675-76 (ending 1678 in Maine) - the chief sachem of the Wampanoag tribe, Metacom (called 'King Philip' by the English), was headquartered on Mount Hope,
Narragansett Bay, not far from Rehoboth. John is frequently listed as having a first wife named Rachel, and the first four children are hers. Ref. 285 states that Abigail Carpenter was John's only wife and mother of all eight children. Son John's 1697 will names Abigail (then Palmer) as his mother, and an additional clue may be in that John senior's first daughter was named Abigail and not Rachel.

Notes for W
ILLIAM CARPENTER:
William was elected Town Clerk of Rehoboth May 13, 1668 and held the office until his death with the exception of one year, namely, 1693. He was sent to the General Court of Plymouth as deputy in the year 1668; was chosen Deacon of the church in the same year; was one of the committee to settle bounds between
the Town of Taunton and the north purchase in the year 1670; and Clerk of the community of the north purchase in the year 1680; and one of the committee to sell the meeting house in the year 1683; and was defendant in Court of Plymouth in the year 1668. He was sent as deputy to the Plymouth Court in the year 1690;
and was one of the purchasers of the North Purchase, and drew his lot in the meadow May 16, 1668.

At a meeting of the Purchasers of the North Purchase,Feb. 18, 1685, it was voted that there should be a division of fifty acres to each shareholder. William Carpenter was the chosen surveyor. At this time he surveyed out 83 fifty-acre lots.

He was a man of superior ability, accurate in all of his business transactions, and a reliable councellor in the colony; and he was noted also for his superior penmanship. His house stood on the left hand side of the road leading from the East Providence meeting house to Rehoboth, Mass., some fifty to sixty rods from the crossing of the "ten mile river," on a rise of land, and was one of the pleasantest spots for a house in that locality. His estate amounted to 215 pounds, 5 shillings and four pence.

The stones that marked the graves of William Carpenter and his wife, Miriam have been taken up and removed and now lie at the foot of Daniel Carpenter and his wife Susanna;s graves, with the letter side up, the lettering apparently as perfect as when first made, and plainly readable.
