Notes for N
EHEMIAH CARPENTER:
Resided in Goshen, N.Y. The following is an extract of the will of Nehemiah Carpenter, late of Jamaica, L.I., now of Goshen, Ulster County, N.Y. Blacksmith. "Mentions wife Priscilla, two sons Nehemiah and Nicholas, and two daughters Phebe and Sally."

Dated June 16, 1783



Here is the NYHS Abstract (Vol XII) of the 1783 will of Nehemiah Carpenter of Goshen--abstracted from Liber 36 Page 115:

In the name of God, Amen. I, NEHEMIAH CARPENTER, late of Jamaica, Long Island, but now a resident of Goshen, Ulster County, blacksmith, being weak in body. My family debts contracted at Goshen and funeral charges and doctor's bills, etc., to be paid out of my moveable estate excepting one bedstead and bed furnished, one cow, one hog, one large pewter platter, nine plates, three pewter basons, four chairs, two chests, two little spinning wheels, one large spinning wheel, which I leave to my wife, Priscilla Carpenter, for her use.

The remainder of my moveable estate, after my debts are paid, to be put at interest for the benefit of my loving wife, while my widow. Whereas my late father-in-law left a legacy to my wife, I give the same to my wife during her life; at her death to be equally divided among my surviving children. With respect to my freehold estates, lying in Jamaica on Long Island, the same are to be disposed of, and after my just debts due thereon ar paid; the remainder to go to my sons, Nehemiah and Nicholas, two-thirds; and my daughters, Phebe and Sally Carpenter, one-third of said remainder.

What other estate I may be possessed of, in like manner and proportion. I make my beloved Priscilla, my loving sons, Nehemiah and Nicholas Carpenter, and my loving friend, Israel Smith, executors.

Dated June 16, 1783. Witnesses, Joseph Carpenter, Amasa Mathews, John Kortright, of the Precinct of Goshen. Proved July 25, 1783.

RLC Notes:

1. This is clearly the Nehemiah that Seversmith has as son of Solomon (b. c1690, d. 1762, ABC's #75) the early settler and proprietor in Goshen.

ABC has this Nehemiah #368 as a son of Solomon #96, and gives incorrect
Note: death date 1821.

2. Seversmith's placement of this Nehemiah raises a couple of issues; although we have no birthdate for this Nehemiah, he is a brother Solomon born 1712, which would make him probably about 70 yrs old in 1783...yet he has two unmarried daughters at that time according to his will. Also odd that this Nehemiah is a recent arrival to Goshen although his alleged father Solomon arrived at least by 1720 when Nehemiah would have been a child--and perhaps as early as 1714 with Nehemiah as an infant at most.

3. ADCSC (and others) give wife Priscilla as Priscilla Smith. Does anyone have a record of WHERE/WHEN this Nehemiah-Priscilla marriage took place?
