Dear John R., I just got 50 pages of Reynolds/Carpenter printout from Steve Roth who has a new Reynolds book out. He has proven to me that Elizabeth Reynolds, b. abt.1700 d. Mar 1799, married on 25 Dec 1735 to Jeremiah Carpenter, b. 1716 d. Mar 1792 (I just got back from the Carpenter Hill Orchard Cemetery where they are buried in Benninton, VT) is not the daughter of Frances Reynolds but of Joseph Reynolds III, son of Joseph Jr, son of Joseph Sr, son of James and Deborah Reynolds, the first immigrants! In the probate of Joseph III's will he gives Jeremiah Carpenter 114 lbs sterling. As you know back then they gave the money to the husband of the daughter. This is the money they used to buy the 800 acres on what is now called Carpenter Hill in Bennington. I always wondered how they got moved up there from RI! So Henry Suydam Reynolds was mistaken in his book on that fact. I am asking Mr. Roth to send me the original probate paper if it exsists or where to find the information. Darn! That means we can't go back to King Henry the First of England, 1135 AD, thru the Greene Family!! All that 5 hours of photocoping goes for naught. Perhaps I can still use some of it as there are plenty of Greene girls who intermarried with Carpenter and Reynolds. Also Ted Atkinson of Williamstown, MA (my cousin thru Olive Jane Carpenter) has proven thru an abstract of Christopher Carpenter's will that Jeremiah's father was Christopher, son of Oliver #54. This makes Oliver Jeremiah's grandfather. Jeremiah was mentioned in Chris's will abstact found in the RI Register, Vol. 2, No.2, Page 127 (by Beaman) Another two pieces of the puzzle has been corrected. Linda in Albuq. Searching for: Acton, Bailey, Bartle, Carpenter, Hannah, Hertzog, Hillary, Holland, Mackay, Matheson, Page, Reynolds, Ridenour/Reitenaurer, Shadwick, Stoner, Wollet.
