Hi Claudia >Does anyone have an English ancestry for Alexander CARPENTER, >of Wrington, Somerset, England and Leyden, Holland, father of >the Carpenter sisters who emigrated to New England? I am >descended from Priscilla and Juliana, and one of their sisters >married Gov. Bradford. > This is covered in quite some detail in Amos B CARPENTERs, Memorial book, which I understand is available in many American libraries and the LSD have film of it. The first chapter deals with the English ancestry and the 2nd in detail about the start of the American ancestry I was able to buy a facsimile edition of this book some 8 years ago There are some descendants of Rehoboth CARPENTERS living in Australia.
