  • Notes 
    • Husband William, having emigrated only three months after the death of Alice Carpenter, who was buried at Shalbourne on 25 January 1637; it is best indicated that she is the wife of William1 of Shalbourne. It should be remembered, however, that his relationship to the Alice Carpenter buried there is uncertain. If for argument's sake we accept that she was his wife, the only evidence pointing toward her having been the former Alice Swithen is matching forenames; relative proximity of Shalbourne and Warminster (36? 40 miles); and a marriage date compatible with the approximate birth year (1605) of William1 Carpenter's only known child This falls far short of the Genealogical Proof Standard (see BCG).

      COMMENT: Over time there seems to be more leaning that she was the wife, but far from proven. JRC
