Abstract of his will: "Mentions wife Elizabeth, sons John, Wait: daughter
Rebecca: brothers Joseph, Samuel, Benjamin and Timothy. Joseph Carpenter,
Benjamin Carpenter & Wait Smith, Jr., executors (dated) Jan. 29, 1738-9,

In the will of John Gale of Goshen, dated Oct 10, 1760, mention is made of land
of Timothy Carpenter as a boundary to his property. So we find that these five
brothers were all located closely, and progenitors of the numerous family of
the name in that part of the state.
