John Carpenter, born Abt. 1685 in JAMACIA, Long Island; died Abt. 1755 in Goshen, Orange, NY.

Notes for John Carpenter:
[rehobtothomas.ftw]

!Number 74 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 61.
Family is number 42 on page 82. He resided at Goshen, NY

!He was called John the Sheriff, to distinguish him from others by the name of
John. He served as sheriff for the county of Orange in NY at one time.
After he died, his wife, Ruth married a Thurston. and probably kept the records
of her family.
He bought land of his father in 1704 or 1705. He exchanged land in 1706 and
sold it to his brother Joseph in 1714, a 20 acre lot.
In the history of Orange County, we find that on July 10, 1721, John Everett,
John Carpenter 2d., and John Carpenter 3d. Jr., and others gave a deed of land
in trust to lay out a Presbyterian church, cemetery, parsonage and streets, and
in all about 140 acres. In 1895, the Presbyterian church celebrated its 175
year. The name of Carpenter in Goshen since 1721 has appeared to be very
numerous.

!Per page 83, "Increase was executor of his father's (John) will of May 1,
1738, and settled his estate." Children were born into the 1750s per the
Carpenter Memorial. He married Ruth Coe in 1735, but children are listed to
him born about 1720. This indicates another marriage.

Whoever were the first settlers of Goshen, NY, it is beyond all question that
this John (#74) and his brother, Solomon (#75), the grandsons of John (#17),
were among the first.

!A Patriot, served in Duchess County Militia Associated Exempts.

Notes for Increase Carpenter:
[rehobtothomas.ftw]

!Number 77 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 61.
Family on page on page 84 (#44).
He bought land in Jamaica in 1709. He was executor of his father's will.

!The Carpenter and Related Family Historical Journal, Vol 5, Winter 1994,
Number 7, page 416 indicates Increase's spouse as Evelyn Bergen with a child
that is different from the Carpenter Memorial. IE "Mary Carpenter" born
April 12, 1719. Also listed is two children (Increase b. abt. 1718 and Jacob
no birth date listed.) It is possible that the two male children did not survive
Increase's first marriage and thus new children in the second marriage were
given those names. Dates do not conflict.
