Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1677 Birth Record of Solomon Carpenter in Rehoboth, Massachusetts

 I looked in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings for Treasure Chest Thursday.

The treasure today is the 1677 birth record of  Solomon Carpenter in Rehoboth, Massachusetts:

The birth  record is the 25th record down the page in the Carpenter section:

The transcription of this birth record is:

"[CARPENTER, of Samuell and Sarah] i 9 Solomon, Dec. 23 1677"

The source citation for this record is:

"Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988," indexed database and digital images, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com), "Rehoboth > Vital Record Transcripts," Births, page 571 (image 603 of 956), Solomon Carpenter, son of Samuell and Sarah birth entry, 23 December 1677; citing original data from Massachusetts town and city clerk records in Jay and Delene Holbrook, Massachusetts Vital and Town Records (Provo, Utah : Holbrook Research Institute), Microfiche collection.

This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth of Solomon Carpenter in Rehoboth, Massachusetts in 1677.  The original record is probably in a Rehoboth town record book that is no longer extant.

Solomon Carpenter (1677-1750) was born on 23 December 1677 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, the son of Samuel and Sarah (Redway) Carpenter.  He married Elizabeth Tefft (1687-b1750) in about 1702 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.  They had six children.  

Solomon and Sarah (Redway) Carpenter are my 7th great-grandparents.  I am descended through their son, Daniel Carpenter (1712-1763) who married Renewed Smith (1712-a1763) on 29 April 1733 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

*  Mercy Carpenter (1752-????).

*  Hannah Carpenter (1754-1810), married 1774 George Armstrong (1752-????).

*  James Carpenter (1756-1824), married 1778 Anna Rodman (1757-1832).

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].

1717 Birth of Renewed Smith in North Kingstown, R.I. - Post 436 for Treasure Chest Thursday

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1717 birth record of Renewed Smith in the North Kingstown, Rhode Island  Town Records:

The birth record of Renewed Smith is at the top of the page:

The transcription of the birth record for Renewed Smith is:

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

The source citation for this record is:

This record is a  derivative source record for the birth of Renewed Smith.   The original record is in the North Kingstown town record books, which are on Family History Library US/CAN microfilms, available at the local FamilySearch Center.  

Renewed Smith (1717-1766) was the daughter of Ephraim and Margaret (Pearce) Smith of North Kingstown, R.I.  She married 1733 in North Kingstown to Daniel Carpenter (1712-1784), the son of Solomon and Elizabeth (Tefft) Carpenter of South Kingstown, R.I.

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

Information about this family was obtained from the book A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America by Amos B. Carpenter, published in Amherst, Mass., by Press of Carpenter & Morehouse, in 1898[1].  It is apparent that the author obtained vital records information from the town records.  There is little biographical information about this family in the book.

Daniel Carpenter (1712-????) was the third son and fourth child (of six) of Solomon and Elizabeth (Tefft) Carpenter.  He was born 28 December 1712 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island[1-2].  The family may have lived on land near the Solomon Carpenter Lot cemetery on south Road in south Kingstown.

Daniel was married to Renewed Smith on 29 April 1733 in North Kingstown by Justice Daniel Coggeshall[1.3].  Renewed was the daughter of Ephraim and Margaret (Pearce) Smith.   They had at 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-????).

Daniel's father, Solomon Carpenter, wrote his will on 30 April 1750, and it was proved in South Kingstown, Rhode Island on 18 October 1750[4].  In his will, Solomon bequeathed the following to his son Daniel Carpenter:

"And as to the rest and Residue of my Estate both Real and Personal be it of what Kind or Nature soever or Where soever the Same is or may be found I do Give Demise and Bequeath the same unto my well beloved Son Daniel Carpenter to him and his Heirs and Assigns for Ever.  He also named his "Well beloved Son Daniel Carpenter my whole and Sole Executor of this my Last will and Testament..."

There was no inventory or distribution so it is unknown what real and personal estate was received by Daniel.

A Daniel Carpenter was listed in South Kingstown in the 1777 Military Census for Rhode Island, but it is unknown if this was the present Daniel Carpenter - it may have been his son.  There are three entries for a Daniel Carpenter in the 1782 Tax List for South Kingstown, one is listed as Junior, another as "Un."  It is unknown if one of them was the present Daniel Carpenter.

Daniel Carpenter's death date is not known with certainty.  The last known record is the birth of his last child in 1763.  Some online family trees say his death date was 29 July 1784.

Daniel and his wife 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[5].

There are no probate records for Daniel Carpenter in the South Kingstown town probate records.
