4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

Renewed Smith was born 8 May 1717 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, the daughter of Ephraim and Margaret )Pearce) Smith[1].  Her birth record says:

"SMITH, Renewed, of Ephraim and Margaret,   May 8, 1717."

Her father died, apparently without an estate, in January 1723 in North Kingstown, leaving his wife with five young children.  Her mother may have married again in order to support her children.

Renewed Smith was married to Daniel Carpenter on 29 April 1733, at age 16, in North Kingstown by Justice Daniel Coggeshall[2-3].  Daniel was the son of Solomon and Elizabeth (Tefft) Carpenter.  The marriage record says:

"CARPENTER, Daniel, and Renewed -----, m. by Daniel Coggeshall, Justice, April 29, 1733."

 They had at least twelve children, all registered in the South Kingstown town records:

*  Jeremiah Carpenter (1734-1808), married 1754 Abigail Sheldon (1734-????).
*  Sarah Carpenter (1735-1800), married 1752 Nathaniel Gardner (1735-????).
*  Jonathan Carpenter (1739-????), married 1760 Marion Lock (1740-????).
*  Elizabeth Carpenter (1741-????), married 1760 Stephen Hazard (1730-1804).
*  Daniel Carpenter (1744-1823), married 1762 Susannah Congdon (1748-1818).
*  Renewed Carpenter (1746-1810), married 1764 Benjamin Stanton (1740-1787).
*  Margaret Carpenter (1749-1800), married 1768 Robert Rodman (1745-1806)
*  Mercy Carpenter (1752-????).
*  Hannah Carpenter (1754-1810), married 1774 George Armstrong (1752-????).
*  James Carpenter (1756-1824), married 1778 Anna Rodman (1757-1832).
*  Mary Carpenter (1759-1832), married 1783 Joseph Knowles (1760-1810).
*  Stephen Carpenter (1763-1835), married 1787 Susannah Champlin (1764-????).

Renewed (Smith) Carpenter's death date is not known with certainty.  The last known record is the birth of her last child in 1763.  Some online family trees say her death was in about 1766.

Daniel and Renewed (Smith) Carpenter are probably buried in the Daniel Carpenter Lot cemetery on Gooseberry Road in South Kingstown.  The Find A Grave memorial notes that the stones are unmarked, and the memorial provides no death date[4].
