Solomon Carpenter

159:58-59 That Solomon Carpenter of South Kingstown, was not the son of Abiah Carpenter but of his brother Samuel and the latter's wife Sarah (Redway) Carpenter, is now certain. On 23 October 1707 , Solomon Carpenter "of the Town of Kingstown ... Rhoadisland" deeded Rehoboth land and commonage rights to "my Brother Sam(ue)ll Carpenter" and on a separate transaction on the same day, to "my Brother James Carpenter" (Rehoboth Proprietors' Records,3: 167-68 [FHL 550,004,item3]; Solomon's original signature appears in both documents.)

Samuel and James Carpenter, both of Rehoboth,were indisputably sons of Samuel and Sarah (Redway) Carpenter (Rehoboth VRs, 1:6,44)

Solomon Carpenter of South Kingstown was thus the one of that name born at Rehoboth on 23 December 1677 to the same couple (ibid.,6).

Note

Note: Information about this family was obtained from the book "A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America" by Amos B. Carpenter, published Amherst, Mass., Press of Carpenter & Morehouse, 1898. It is apparent that the author obtained vital records information from the town records. There is little biographical information about this family in the book.
Several books and journal articles discuss the biography of Solomon Carpenter, including:
1) Eugene Cole Zabrinsky, "The Family of William Carpenter(2) of Rehoboth, Mass.", The American Genealogist, Volume 70 number 4, page 193ff.
2) Charles Lorain Carpenter, "The Descendants of William Carpenter, Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts," 1988.
Solomon Carpenter was made a Freeman in 1696 at South Kingstown.
He exchanged land with Ephraim Bull of Kingstown on 10 May 1705.
Solomon Carpenter, yeoman of South Kingstown, died testate, having written a will dated 30 April 1750, which was proved 18 October 1750. The will reads (transcribed by the author from the clerk's copy in the South Kingstown (Rhode Island) Probate and Town Council Records, Volume 4, Pages 318-320, on FHL Microfilm 0,931,834):
"In the Name of God Amen the Thirtyeth Day of April Anno Domini one Thousand Seven Hundred fifty.

Being ancient but Perfect in mind and memory Thanks be therefore given to Almighty God and Calling unto Mind the Mortality of My body and Knowing that it is Appointed for men once to Dye do make and Ordain this to be my Last will and Testament That is to Say
