Reflecting the prevailing standards of nineteenth-century genealogical
scholarship, Amos Carpenter's magnum opus has not fared well, above and
elsewhere. Nevertheless, such complications serve as useful points of
departure for further research.

SUMMARY

1 WILLIAM(1)CARPENTER was born about 1576. His wife may have been the
ALICE CARPENTER who was buried at Shalbourne, Wiltshire/Berkshire, on 25
January 1637[/8]. In 1638, aged 62, he emigrated from "Horwell" [i.e.,
Wherwell, Hampshire] with his son and daughter-in-law, William and Abigail
Carpenter, and their family. No further record is found for William(1); he
died probably during the voyage or shortly after his arrival in New England.
