Came to America on the Bevis with his wife and 3 children
William and Elizabeth were married for a short time before they came to America. A memorandum from the Arnold family states: "We left Dartmouth on Friday, May 1, 1635, and arrived in New England June 24,1635, going first to Hingham and than to Providence, where we arrived April 20, 1636." The first mention that we can find relating to William Carpenter occurs in what is called the "Initial Deed," ad ocumenthastily drawn up by Roger Williams, at the time of settlement, in which he designates "his living friends and neighbors"who are to have equal rights with himself. These friends and neighbors were twelve in number, and until December 23, 1661, this "Initial Deed was all they had to show in the way of title to their holdings. The"First Baptist Church in America" was constituted at Providence between August 3, 1638 and March 16, 1639.William Carpenter was one of the original founders. As a lay minister, he performed the marriage ceremony at the wedding of his daughter. Up to this date, 1638,the "Proprietors," as they now began to be called, were living on their "Home Lotts", situated conveniently near together for neighborly intercourse and mutual protection. These lots contained about 6 acres each and all fronted on "Town Street" with a dividing line between the lots running each and west. William Carpenter's lot was separated from the lot of Robert Coles by a "highway". Town street is now Main Street and the "highway" is Meeting Street, so called because of the Friends Meeting House which now occupies William Carpenter's lot.William Carpenter was allotted a large tract of land at "Pautuxet" -a beautiful meadowland, about four miles southerly from Providence, bounded on the east by the Narrangansett Bay and on the south by the Pawtuxet River. In later years this was known as Cranston. It was here that William spent the remaining years of his life. In the affairs of the colony, noman enjoyed the confidence of Roger Williams more than he. He was on numerous commissions to settle boundary lines, to layout roads, and to locate and build bridges. He was elected to the general court on March 10,1658 and was re-elected the five following years. For many years he was assistant to the General Assembly and was Deputy in 1679. When King Philip's War was threatening to annihilate the colony, the General Assembly, on April 4, 1676, passed the following resolution: "Voted, that in these troublesome times and straits in the Colony this Assembly desiring to have the advice and concurrence of the most judicious inhabitants, so desire at their next sitting the company and counsel of William Carpenter." Life was obviously dangerous in those days for on June28, 1675, the Indians burned 18 houses at Providence and by March, 1676,there was only one house left standing between Providence and Warwick. Two historians report: "On January 27,1676, the Indians despoiled Mr.Carpenter of two hundred sheep, fifty head of cattle and fifteen horses,all of which they drove with them. Two that belonged to the said Carpenter were wounded and one of the enemy slain." "William Carpenter's house was attacked by about 300 Indians and was set afire by them, but the flames were extinguished by the defenders. Two of his household were killed." An interesting note from this period is the General Court of Massachusetts report which enumerated the "sins" which had brought this disastrous war upon this Colony : "Pride in men's wearing long and curled hair, excess in apparel, naked breasts and arms and superfluous ribbons, toleration of Quakers, extortion in shopkeepers and mechanics, and the riding from town to town of unmarried men and women under pretense of attending lectures."
Was one of the first proprietors of Providence, RI.William CARPENTER- was born about 1608/1611 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England and was christened in of Nettlecomb, Somerset, England. He died 7 Sep 1685 in Pawtuxet, Providence, RI and was buried 7 Sep 1685 in Pawtuxet, Providence,RI.
!SEE: "History and Genealogy of the CARPENTER FAMILY IN AMERICA" fromthesettlement at Providence, RI 1637-1901. By Daniel Hoogland Carpenter of Mapelwood, Essex, NJ. Published by the Marion Press of Jamacia, Queensborough, NY in 1901. 370 Pages. Will on pages 20 to 28. AKA:William of Amesbury. William Carpenter, Founder of the Providence Carpenters, is Number 1. He was the son and heir of Richard Carpenter of Amesbury, Wiltshire, England. Did William go to Barbadoes in 1634?Or was it a cousin? See page 5 in the above record. See Brother Richard's notes. See page 354, Describing the "Visitation" or census of the College of Arms in 1623 and 1634 where it is shown that there was a number of Carpenter families in Gloucester, Hereford, Somerset, and Surrey, who made proof of their pedigrees by presenting arms which were emblazoned in the windows of the Church at Westbury upon Trin (often called the Worcester Arms). FOUNDER: This William Carpenter is considered to be the founder of the Providence (Pawtuxet), Rhode Island Branch of the Carpenter family.

Hi there: I really have to tell you that you have messed up the 2
William Carpenter Families badly. You have William b. 1605 as part of
the Providence/Roger Williams group. No!!!! William b. 1605, came on
the Bevis in 1638, married to Abigail Briant was early founder of
Rehoboth, Ma. The other William of Providence, arrived earlier and you
have mixed them up!!!! Easily done, but wrong.
One of the better sites on Rootsweb, go to william carpenter born
1605, click and find the is the dryan site, Cushing/Carpenter/Leach.
If I can help further, I'll try, but this is not easy. You will work
it out I am sure. You are so clever.
Best wishes,
Bill Haslun
