    1. Re: Bevis Children UNDER
    2. << For most of those on the _Bevis_ passenger list, the person's age is given before his or her name. Immediately below "32 --- Abigael Carpenter" is "10 & under & fower children." Although the eldest Carpenter child, son John, was 12, by representing him as being under 10, his father, William2 Carpenter, was able to pay the same, reduced price of passage for John as he did for the three other children, who actually were under 10. >> John Carpenter, bp. Shalbourne, 8 October 1626, was almost certainly 11 when the _Bevis_ passenger list was compiled (2 May 1638). Sorry for the typo. Gene Z.
