- Came on the "Bevis" in 1638, aged 62
OCCUPATION: The Bevis passenger list describes William as a carpenter (NEHGR 14:336). That his copyhold included not only a messuage (house and adjoining land) with a garden but also a small number of acres in nearby common fields indicates that he was also a husbandman (subsistence farmer) (see Westcourt 7; “Recommended Reading,” GMN 16, no. 3).
CHILDREN: The only known child of William1 Carpenter is the son named with him in his record of tenancy at Shalbourne Westcourt and with whom he emigrated: the eventual William2 Carpenter of Rehoboth ...

William Carpenter represents the earliest immigrant generation for this family. He is typically referred to as William Carpenter of Shalbourne and, more recently, of Weymouth to distinguish him from his son, William Carpenter (abt.1605-1658) of Rehoboth, and from William Carpenter of Providence. Based on ages given in certain records (see Birth, below), he was born about 1575. He was from the parish of Shalbourne, on the Wiltshire/Berkshire border and very near that of Hampshire.
The English origin of William Carpenter was published in The American Genealogist in 1995. Research by the same author, Eugene Cole Zubrinsky FASG, has continued up until the present time on behalf of the Carpenter Cousins Project, John R. Carpenter administrator. All work prior to 1995 should be considered out-of-date and suspect. In particular, the Carpenter Memorial, published in 1898 (see "See Also" section), should be used with great caution, as it contains numerous errors and incorrect guesses as to the origins of the Rehoboth Carpenters. The claim that William1 Carpenter was from London, for example, is certainly incorrect.
