  • Notes 
    • William appeared in the will of his grandfather and by the advice of his family, in Deed on 2 September 1674, his estate at Providence, Rhode Island, he sold to his Uncle Stephen Arnold.

      In the DH Carpenter's book on the R.I.Branch
      "William acted as one of the proprietors after the death of his brother Joseph until 1706 when his nephew Joseph reached legal age. The Town Records shows very clearly that he was a large land owner and prominent in the affairs of the plantation.
      He was a blacksmith by trade, and had his homestead and shop in that part of town known as "Duck Pond." He sold this property in 1720, and probably moved to Westchester county, though he still had landed interests at Musketa Cove as late as 1734."
      William Carpenter was born about 1662/1666 in Pawtuxet, Bristol, RI. He died 2 February 1749 in NY. Number 13 in the book "The Carpenter Family" by Daniel H Carpenter. Pg 66
