William CARPENTER
Boston Transcript, April 1, 1931, #1349: Alexander Carpenter was the son of William Carpenter, born 1520, England. Date of the death of William is given as 1550, but is obviously incorrect, for Alexander was second of four sons, James, Alexander, William and Richard. William son of William (born 1520), is the founder of the American line of Carpenters. He was a brother to Alexander, whose daughters came here, also. The history of Alexander is in the English records, not the American. All these Carpenters were descendants of John Carpenter, 1303; he is the first ancestor who can be traced; he was a member of Parliament in 1323. John, a grandson of the first John, was town clerk of London for twenty-one years from April 20, 1417, in the reign of Henry V. This John established a school in 1438 (?), the City of London School, which was still in existence in the last decade of the 19th century, at the least. From this line came the English and American Carpenters; the English line became extinct in 1853. It is interesting to note that John, town clerk of London, was an executor of the will of Richard Whittington, Lord Mayor of London whose story is so familiar. The details in this letter were found in " A Genealogical History of the Carpenter Family in America," by Amos B. Carpenter, published at Amherst, Mass., 1898. The same fundamental facts are found in the history of Alice Carpenter, my ancestor on both sides of my family. Some of them were used to show descent through Mayflower ancestors, which later ancestry is accepted by the Mayflower Society.
