Book Description

Excerpt from A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America, Brought Down From Their English Ancestor, John Carpenter, 1303, With Many Biographical Notes of Descendants and Allied Families The blood that has filled the veins of a family from Richard Carpenter, through John, his son, a brother of John, the town clerk of London, for 15 or 16 generations down to the present, is more to us than the lineage of kings and princes, and the honor of kin-ship with that noble man, who stands at the head of the civilized world in education. William of Rehoboth, William of Providence and Samuel of Philadelphia, were all educated men, and probably educated at the Carpenter Free School.
