Notes for E
LIPHALET CARPENTER:
His father, soon after his birth in 1703, removed to Coventry, Conn. In his will dated Dec 1, 1775, probated April 3, 1792, he was called by the commissioners, Capt. Eliphalet Carpenter, which title justly belonged to him as he held a captain's commission under the King. He was called a very old man at his death. He speaks in his will of "my granddaughter Anne, daughter of Eliphalet," and gives her a gold necklace that belonged to his former wife. The inscription on his tombstone in an old burying ground in Coventry, Conn. reads as follows:

"This monument is sacred to the memory of Captain Eliphalet Carpenter who died February 22d, 1792, after 10 weeks' illness, with great composure of mind, in full hope of a glorious resurrection and in the 89th year of his age."

An honest man, rare to be found
Lies buried here beneath this ground,
Whose soul we trust is now above
Where all is joy, where all is love.

His name is on the muster roll of a large Mass. Company under the command of Capt. Thomas Cheney in General Dwight's Regiment, (which was raised in 1746 for the expedition to Canada and dismissed from service Oct 31, 1747.) Called a very old man at his death.

BENEZER CARPENTER:
Ebenezer and his wife were buried in one grave, in Hatford, Vt. Mrs Lyman Wood, daughter of Ralph Carpenter, a direct descendant of Ebenezer, writes that Ebenezer held the office of Constable, and it was the law that the Constables should wear a striped vest and carry a cane. The cane that he (Ebenezer) possessed was handed down to her father, Ralph Carpenter, and when he died, her brother took it with him to Iowa. Ebenezer held many important town offices, and traded considerably in real estate. He was termed a shrewd business man. He was the first child born in Coventry. His will dated Jan. 16, 1777, names his
eleven children.
