Text: Record for Robert CARPENTER "...was born about 1520 (or was it 1505?). Died in 1550. Had several children, including James, Alexander, William and Richard. James' descendants continued the English line of Tyronnel Carpenters; Alexander's daughters emigrated to America; William's descendants made up the American Rehoboth line; and Richard's the American Providence line. [3]

It appears that all the family were Dissenters, and obliged to leave London. Alexander went to Leiden, Holland. WILLIAM, came to America in 1638. Another son, James, was heir to his father's estate. [3]
