OK, as part of the Carpenter project, a few of us have gone through and adjusted/modified and correct a whole slew of errors and bad merges on the Rehoboth line. Cleaning up that data ha also helped to clean up the Providence Carpenter's as well, so it's been a two-birds-one-stone kinda thing. All updated profiles have been provided with factual documentation and sources have been added to prove the correct data and lineage.
I can vouch that from William "of Rehoboth" Carpenter William Carpenter, of Rehoboth and all of his immediate children are in fact correct at this point. Only a couple more tweaks are needed and we will be at 100% (or as close as we can get at this point)
The following children are currently listed as belonging to William "of Rehoboth" Carpenter William Carpenter, of Rehoboth , but really should be William "of Providence" Carpenter's William Carpenter, of Providence offspring
Ephraim Carpenter Ephraim Carpenter
Linda Carpenter Lydia Smith
****
Anna Carpenter Hannah (Carpenter) Carpenter I believe is a soundex error of Hannah, can can probably be deleted/merged with that profile. There are no other profiles (husband or children) related to that profile, so this should be an easy fix.
****
Abraham Carpenter Abiah Carpenter, well, I don't know where he belongs exactly, sources have proven that there was no Abraham in this family, but I don't know how to correct it. Any ideas?
Once these remaining tweaks have been done, the next step will be to go through the Rehoboth line and document the next generation, cleaning and citing sources as we go. If anyone would like to take a few, please feel free to do so.
Source Data -
All data has relied heavily on the use of source documents written by the genealogist Eugene Cole Zubrinsky (http://members.cox.net/jrcrin001/carplink.htm). I also provide for your reference an abbreviated guide to the Rehoboth and Providence Carpenter Lineage below
