We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    Notes 
    • Samuel is frequently listed as having been born in 1644, but that is probably not the case. There is no record of birth for Samuel in Rehoboth in 1644, and his father was town clerk starting in 1643 and probably would have recorded it. The 1644

      date would mean that he was 16 when married the 18 year old Sarah Redway. Also, his parents had lost a son named Samuel in 1637, and it is more likely that they would have named their next son Samuel, rather than the second. While his birth date

      isn't known for sure, it is now placed as 'probably' being in late 1638 "either before the family settled at Weymouth or soon thereafter" and "that a record of his birth has not been found suggests...that it was neglected when the town's"

      (Weymouth) "vital records were first compiled in 1644." Samuel and Sarah (Redway) Carpenter had 10 children.
