Could Mr. Zubrinsky be so good as to present this particular evidence on this forum? Most helpful would be any evidence BESIDES the often quoted will that mentions "Richard Carpenter of Amesbury." "presents evidence pointing away from Robert Carpenter of Marden, Wiltshire, as the putative father of Richard of Amesbury; introduces other evidence pointing toward the latter man's antecedents' being of Newton Toney (adjacent to Amesbury)" Sincerely, Bruce Carpenter Nara, Japan
