Amazingly, only two days after the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office mailed a photocopy of the original, 1628 glebe terrier of the Shalbourne vicarage, it appeared in my mailbox. As indicated in the published version (_Wiltshire Glebe Terriers 1588-1827_, p. 364), Shalbourne churchwarden William "Crpener" did indeed sign with his mark. This removes the provisional character of my 20 October posting and confirms that "Crpener" was absolutely not the eventual William Carpenter of Rehoboth (b. ca. 1605)--a highly literate man (and much younger in 1628 than the typical churchwarden)--and was probably not his father (for reasons stated in the aforementioned posting).
