Among the first settlers of Rehoboth were 58 people from Weymouth who drew
lots in the division of lands on June 31, 1644: William Carpenter's name in
that division stands as number 10. At the first meeting of the proprietors of Rehoboth, held at Weymouth in 1643/4 to organize the settlement of the land which had been originally pruchased from teh Wampanoags in 1641 by men of the Plymouth Colony, the group chose nine "townsmen" to run their affairs. The
company at Weymouth, led by the Rev. Samuel Newman, did not adhere to either
the Massachusetts Bay Colony or the Plymouth Colony at first, preferring to
consider itself an independent settlement. . . . however in 1644 the
majority decided to join Plymouth Colony, soon after an election of townsmen
was held. . .
Tradition, as well as the description given in his will, indicates the
WIlliam Carpenter residence was located in the "ring" directly east of the
church. In 1645 William Carpenter was elected a Rehoboth representative to the
governmental body at Plymouth, also chosen to look after the interest of the
town and named as one of those empowered to hear and decide on gtrievances in
regard to the division of land by lots. In 1647 and 1655 he was chosen as one
of the directors of the town . . .
His vocation was given on the shipping list as that of carpenter, but one
wonders if he had not at one time planned to enter the ministry. His library,
mentioned in his will, includes various religious works of the eras as welll as
Latin classics, Greek and Hebrew grammars, biblical concordances and some legal
works. These books, plus the fine script in which he wrote the early Rehoboth
records, indicate he had a far better education than most of the early New
England settlers.
All of William Carpenter's children are mentioned in his will, which is dated
the 10th day of the 10th month, 1658. (A copy of the will is on filewith
Plymouth Old Colony records, --wills, Vol 2, pages 80-83, in Plymouth, MA)
William died at Rehoboth Feb 7, 1658/59 and his will was proved April 21, 1659.
His widow, Abigail, died at Rehoboth February 22, 1687/88. The maiden name
of William's wife, Abigail, has never been confirmed by documentation. It is
generally believed, however, that she was the daughter of WIlliam Bennett of
Sway in Hampshire. William Bennett's will, made in 1630 and proven shortly
after his Aug 20, 1638 burial, names as executors Ralph and William Carpenter,
but only Ralph served as an executor.
"Wm Carpenter of Rehoboth, MAS came to America on the ship BEVIS which salied
in May of 1638 from Southampton, Hampshire, England with 61 passengers aboard.
Accompanying him was his father William of Wherwell, Hampshire, age 62, wife
Abigail 32y and 4 ch under 10y. They were also accompanied by a servant,
Thomas BANSHOTT 14y. Complete passenger list is given in Charles E. Banks'
THE PLANTERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH, 1620-1640, (Baltimore MD 1961) pp 198-200.
It is believed the elder William left his son and family at Weymouth, MA and
returned to England on the BEVIS. The younger WM was admitted a freeman of Wey mouth on 13 MAy 1640 and was named Constable in 1641. He served as a
Representative of Weymouth to the General Court of Plymouth, MA Bay Colony in
1641 and 43." From Raymond G. Carpenter's update PART 4 THE EARLY REHOBOTH, MA BRANCH...THE FAMILY OF HEROES.
