1680 First Marriage to Renew Weeks

Benjamin married Renew Weeks of Dorchester, surely sometime before the birth of their first child Benjamin in January 1680-81.[9]. "Surely" because her grandfather was Maj. General Humphrey Atherton, before whom much of Dorchester was married.

There are other sources in following:

Benjamin Carpenter married, first, Renew Weeks[3]

He married Renew Weeks 01 Jul 1683 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, the daughter of William Weeks and Elizabeth Atherton. Renew Weeks was born 12 Aug 1660 in Dorchester, Massachusetts and died 29 Jul 1703 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.[2]

He married (first) Renew Weeks, born 1660, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Weeks of Dorchester. His wife died July 29, 1703.[1]

1706 Second Marriage to Martha (Bliss) Toogood

Benjamin Carpenter, born 27 Jun 1680 in Swansea, Massachusetts.[1] Benjamin Carpenter (1680 - 1727)[3] died 22 May 1727 in Ashford, Connecticut.
Jotham Carpenter or Jonathan Carpenter[2] born 01 Jun 1682 in Swansea, Massachusetts.[1] Jotham Carpenter (1682 - 1760)[3] died 14 Aug 1760 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.

Edward Swanzey Carpenter, born 08 Dec 1700 [1]in Swansea, Massachusetts and died 12 Dec 1778 in Swansea, Massachusetts.[3]
1727 Death

He died May 22, 1727 in Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts. [3][2][1]

He was buried in the Knockum Hill Cemetery, Barrington, Bristol County, Rhode Island.[3]

The probate record of Renew's father Benjamin Carpenter, division of land was made 20 December 1727. The seventh portion of the division was granted to "Renew West: survivours",[11] This not only proves that the Renew Carpenter who married John West was the daughter of Benjamin, but also that Renew Carpenter had died prior to the 20 December 1727 probate.
