Hi John, Here is some of what is in the "Refugees of 1776 From L. I. to CT" book. I notice that I mistyped and put 1770. It is actually 1776. :-) "The founder of the settlement on L. I. called Mosquito Cove was Joseph 1 Carpenter. His first wife Hannah, was a dau.f William and Abigail Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass. His son, Joseph 2 of Mosquito Cove, b. at Pawtuxet R. I. about 1660; d. at Mosquito Cove between Sept. 9, 1687 and 1690. He is said to have a wife, Ann or Anne and sons; Joseph 3 b. Oct. 16, 1685; and Thomas 3 b. Aug. 15, 1687. In 1667, Joseph 1 petitions for land at Mosquito Cove for a saw-mill. Joseph 1 b. in England 1635. He m. 1. 1659 Hannah 2. in 1674, Ann Weeks. Joseph 2 m. Anne Willetts. (Mrs. Gilbert Scudder) It is more probably that Joseph 2 married Mary, dau. of Thomas and Jean Thrneycraft; and had a son, Thomas. (Mr. George W. Cocks) Capt. John 1 b. in Conn around 1658. His will was proved July 30, 1732 at Jamaica. Increas 2 son of John 1 b. at Jamaica abt. 1688, m ? Bergen; d. about 1776. He bought land at Jamaica in 1709. He was one of the executors of Capt. John's will abt. 1738. He had sons: Increase 3 ; Jacob 3, John 3, David 3 and Luke 3. A dau. Elizabeth 3 married Benjamin Wiggins. John 3 was Sheriff of Orange Co., NY. There are several pages and many names of Carpenter in the book. Can you send specific names to look for? Hope this is of help to you.
