  • Notes 
    • Raymond George Carpenter, the genealogist, states that this Richard Carpenter
      was Vicar General of Ramsbury to the Bishop of Salisbury. He was a CATHOLIC
      PRIEST, he died in 1503. See notes below. Coat-of-Arms below.
      Per Oxford University Records he came from Hereford and had brothers James,
      John, and William.

      !The Reverend Richard Carpenter followed in the footsteps of his granduncle
      John Carpenter the Elder, Bishop of Worcester and served in the same Church at
      Westbury. Richard Carpenter was Canon of Westbury upon Trin (Tryn) in
      Gloucestershire and Vicar of Mixbury in Oxfordshire and possibly in
      Trottescliffe in Kent. He was Vicar of Ramsbury in Wiltshire.
      He was also of Colford parish in Gloucester.

      !WILL: The will of Rev. Richard Carpenter mentions sons Robert & Peter.
      BIRTH: 1465/1470

      !SEE: Also: (WN & Q) Wiltshire Notes and Queries, Pages 256-258 and 293 which
      lists The Wilshire Wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
      (1383-1558):
      "1503 Carpenter, Rychard, D.C.L. and priest, Remmesbury (= Ramsbury, Wilts)
      (Wilts?) Mixbury, Oxford. (Oxfordshire) 25 Blamyr."
      There are two other CARPENTER notes in the above record. They read: "1524
      Carpenter, als. Morecock, Roger, Hornyngesham, Wilts. F. 31 Bodfelde." "1547
      Carpenter, sir Thomas, priste, Cathedral of Sarum. F. 10 Allen." The 1547
      year note probably refers to this Richard's grandson. The "F." notes
      represent the books or records the references were found in.
      The 1524 year note may refer to a son not listed in his will. The descendants
      of Roger claim a coat of arms identical from Rev. Richard Carpenter.

      !Because Richard Carpenter was a Catholic Priest, his coat of arms of three
      cross crosslets, derived from John Carpenter the Younger of London would pass
      down to his descendants with a vertical green bend sinister.
      Even though priests were required to be celibates, it was not unusal in those
      times for church officials of all ranks to have families named in their wills,
      though of course no wife was named.

      !His Coat-of-Arms were probably granted when he was at Coleford, Newland
      parish, Gloucester County. See page 356 in the book, Carpenter Family in
      America, by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1901. (or this was is son or grandson?)

      !Some speculation was that his wife's name was Susan Trevelian. However this is
      wrong.
