This Richard Carpenter may be the one who was imported by Capt. Thomas Paulett before 15 Jan 1637/8 on which date Paulett received 2,000 acres in Charles City Co. VA for importing 38 persons including Richard Carpenter. Richard does not appear to have seated the land -- the 13 Jun 1636 transaction was a "paperwork" transferral of ownership to him, and he and Cooke in turn transferred it to John Davis and Robert Craddock on 29 Jul 1637. Harihatox was in Virginia -- it was southeast of Richmond on the north side of the James River in present-day Henrico Co. VA. The name was spelled many ways in the original records, including Harrowattocks, Harryaddocks, Harristocks, and Harrow Attocks, but now most often spelled Arrowhattocks. Assignment was the transferral of title on a land warrant (rather than a deed), usually by sale but sometimes for payment of a debt of some sort. It should be noted that the original record does not include the annotation implying "Baugh" might be a variant of "Ball", and that John Baugh was a prominent landowner in that area.
