Michael and Erica - Please be very careful regarding merges and whatnot going back this far in the family tree. Unless you are 100% (ok, maybe 99% certain) that something needs to be changed - and you have the documentation that goes with it - I'd respectfully ask that you start a discussion around them.
I've been coming across too many profiles that have little to no documentation associated with given changes and some folks are unknowingly undoing legitimate research.
On the profiles of William (my 10th G-Grandfather) and his immediate descendants, I would suggest starting with the Sketches provided here - http://carpentercousins.com/carplink.htm (this used to be the old link found in the header - http://members.cox.net/jrcrin001/carplink.htm) <- ERICA Can you update the curator's header with the new link? Thanks!
There are several ancestors with identical names and very close DOB/DOD's and other information to be wary of, including a very confusing cousin marriage (or two). If you do find things that need to be changed or updated, please document, document, document so that others can validate your hard work! We need more sources!! :)
Thanks and Cheers!

Deacon William Carpenter is solid. I did all of that work you see in the About Me. In fact, I think part of me becoming a curator was due to the original untangling of that mess with his wives and mother.
I don't know who Abigail Carpenter was married to but I know it wasn't William of Rehoboth. That was one of Zubrinsky's proofs and confirmed from other sources. So I've disconnected her from William.
Solomon Solomon Carpenter
who was listed as Abiah's son has been changed to his brother Samuel's son according to the following documentation:
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).
NEHG Register- Additions and Corrections by E.C. Zubrinsky
Great to 'see' you too Erica Howton! I've been kinda quiet here lately. Mostly researching my maternal line these last few months. I'll see what I can contribute to this weekend, but I agree with Private User's comments RE following Gene Zubrinsky. He does update his sketches from time to time and it's a good reminder in general that information evolves (hence the need for solid documentation - not just links to a 10 year old personal website that I find from time to time. ;)
Unless anyone has an objection I would love to see Rhonda-Lee Robin Allen Barber, U.E. make the update she noted.
Doing some review on a few profiles and I noticed that for Joseph Carpenter, of Musketa Cove, the birth and death dates appear to be incorrect. Although these dates seem to be supported by sources, I reviewed the sources and I couldn't figure out where the birth date of April 1640 came from.
If in agreement, can we change the birth date to circa 1638, and the death date to circa 1683? These are the dates that are provided in Gene Zubrinsky's sketches (http://carpentercousins.com/Joseph2_RI&NY.pdf), which I've paraphrased below.
Thanks!
Joe

JOSEPH 2 CARPENTER (William 1 of Providence, Richard A) was born about 1638 (aged 26 in 1664), probably at Providence Plantation (not 1635, in England), and died intestate between 15 or 17 February 1682[/3] and 15 March 1683/4 at Musketa Cove (then a plantation in Oyster Bay Township; now the town of Glen Cove, Nassau County), Long Island, Province of New York.
