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 
    • One of the original purchasers of the Rehoboth North Purchase (later Attleboro, Bristol Co., MA). He and his son John were engaged in King Philip's War of 1675-76 (ending 1678 in Maine) - the chief sachem of the Wampanoag tribe, Metacom (called 'King Philip' by the English), was headquartered on Mount Hope, Narragansett Bay, not far from Rehoboth. John is frequently listed as having a first wife named Rachel, and the first four children are hers. Ref. 50 states that Abigail Carpenter was John's only wife and mother of all eight children. Son John's 1697 will names Abigail (then Palmer) as his mother, and an additional clue may be in that John senior's first daughter was named Abigail and not Rachel. Perhaps John died in 1689 rather than 1690 (double date issue). Bristol Co MA Probate Records list will dated 21 Feb 1688/89, probated 20 Nov 1689.

      ("Ref. 50" was a link to a source from an older genealogy program I used at one time. The reference is to the source which is cited for this note: "The Family of William Carpenter of Rehoboth MA" by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky which appeared in 'The American Genealogist' Oct 1995 issue. [1]
