******************************
BENJAMIN CARPENTER, b. 20 Oct. 1663, d. Coventry, Conn., 18 April 1738, in 74th yr. (g.s., aged 73); m. Northampton, Mass., probably 1691 [but not 4 or 14 March], HANNAH STRONG, b. Northampton 3 Feb. 1670[/1], d. Coventry 20 March 1762, in 92nd yr., dau. of Jedediah and Freedom (Woodward) Strong (CVR 176; Cov Cem Inscr; NVR 1:12, 15, 95, 102). Benjamin was of Northampton (his home since at least 1691) when on 22 June 1708 he quitclaimed to his brother Nathaniel a portion of the estate their father had left Benjamin. He was of Coventry by 1 July 1709, when he quitclaimed the remainder of his legacy to his brother William; the deed describes him as late of Northampton and formerly of Rehoboth (Carpenter [1898] 53; recorded documents not found). Benjamin W. Dwight’s 1871 Strong genealogy, repeating published transcriptions of Caleb Strong’s 1777 manuscript, gives Benjamin Carpenter and Hannah Strong’s marriage date as 4 March 1691 (Strong Gen 1:xxv–xxvii, at xxvi, 2:952; NEHGR 8:180–83, at 182, 23:294–96, at 295; see also Carpenter [1898] 53 [m. 14 March 1691]). The Northampton marriage record of that date (actually 1690/1), however, pertains to Ebenezer Pomeroy and a different Hannah Strong, born 7 Oct. 1669, dau. of Ebenezer and Hannah (Clapp) Strong (NVR 1:12 95, 102; NEHGR 15:225; Strong Gen 1:xxvii, 2:1120). Immediately below it—undated—is the Carpenter-Strong marriage record, one of seven such entries (another gives only the year) out of the fifteen records on that page; a cluster of three undated marriage records also appears near the bottom of the previous page (NVR 1:101–2). (Except for those fifteen records—the eight containing at least a partial date have respective years of 1685, 1686 [2], 1690/1, and 1691 [4]—there is a gap in Northampton marriage records from 1684 to 1695 [NVR 1:101–3].) Based on the dated records surrounding Benjamin and Hannah’s undated one, and on the 13 July 1692 birth date of their first child (NVR 1:26), it is probable that they did marry in 1691 [New Style, year beginning 1 Jan.]. The day and month, however, are unknown. Amos Carpenter presents correct birth data for Benjamin and Hannah’s son Jedediah (Northampton, 1 Oct. 1697) but otherwise confuses him with another Jedediah Carpenter, a blacksmith, born at Rehoboth 15 Dec. 1696 and died there 15 Dec. 1731, son of Samuel 4 and Patience (Ide) Carpenter; the latter married 24 May 1725 Mercy Brown of Barrington, Mass. (now in R.I.) (Carpenter [1898] 65, 96–97; CVR 19; BrCoPR 7:313–14; RVR 1:48, 56, 2:144, 241; RI Cems 69; see also Samuel3 sketch, CHILDREN, no. i). Benjamin and Hannah’s son Jedediah, of Coventry and Stafford, Conn., died at the latter place on 2 March 1781; his unnamed widow died there on 9 Jan. 1784, aged 84 (StVR [Barbour] 2:177; StChR 69). They had seven known children, 2–7 baptized at Bolton (adjacent to Coventry): 1. Daniel, b. Coventry or Bolton by 1725; 2. Joel, bp. 10 Dec. 1727; 3. Ruth bp. 4 Jan. 1730; 4. Nathan , bp. 2 April 1732; 5. Samuel, bp. 28 July 1734; 6. Dorcas, bp. 22 Feb. 1736; 7. Ezekiel, bp. 25 June 1738 (CLR 4:470; NEHGR 52:180–85). Source: carpentercousins.com
