CA, 1944) by Herbert Furman Seversmith which indicates that John C. bought
the dwelling house and barn lot of John Strickland of Jamaica on Nov. 8, 1665.
The homestead there served as a family residence. The same source also notes
that John C. and his brother-in-law Nehemiah Smith were overseers of the poor
in Jamaica.

!Hannah's father was a close friend to Capt. William Carpenter. SEE: "The
Ancestry and Descendants of Magistrate William Smith of Jamaica, New York"
(manuscript copy in the Long Island Room, Jamaica Public Library, Jamaica, NY.

!AFN NTQ5-GR and BVZK-2G are the same person.
AFN QCZ1-35 Hannah Hope) is also the same person. Records indicate Joseph was
only married twice.
!AFN BVZK-ZG (1628) AND ID # 8MJ2-SM (1630) ARE THE SAME PERSON WITH GJ4N-7X
(1629). AFN NTQ5-GR also appears to be the same person but with a spouse named
Joseph Carpenter instead of John Carpenter. Is it possible that she married
one, had a child (John) then divorced or left for the other?
