Col. Daniel Carpenter

PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT BELIEVE COL. DANIEL CARPENTER IS THE FATHER OF ABRAHAM CARPENTER AS LISTED BELOW. ABRAHAM CARPENTER'S FATHER SHOULD BE SAMUEL CARPENTER. BUT I CANNOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON MY TREE. IT IS LOCKE IN AND I CANNOT REMOVE THE CONNECTION. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

From The Boston Gazette, of Jan. 31, 1763:

Jan. 26, 1763, Col. Daniel Carpenter of Rehoboth, in the County of Bristol, departed this life in the 67th year of his age. - Tis tho't his death was occasioned by a fall off his horse, near to the dwelling house of Capt. Richards in Roxbury - hath left a sorrowful widow and six children - he was a kind companion, a tender parent, and constant friend; given to hospitality; faithful in the various stations of life wherein providence had placed him, in Church and State, having filled the office of a deacon to good acceptance - as a civil magistrate was well-approved; and in his military characters, of which he had sustained many, gave great content - It may truly be said the public have lost a friend; and many of the poor as well as orphan children, a generous benefactor - He lived desired, and his death is justly lamented by all who knew him.
