      !AFN 8MH8-HS and MTLC-5L (SP 4 Dec 1942) are the same person.
      AFN V6TG-V9 (b. abt 1666) has a spouse named Hannah Haviland with one child
      named Silas who had Timothy who married Elizabeth Anderson and they had
      Jerimiah (b. 28 Aug 1760) who married Jane Shears. Other than the AF, no
      marriage or pedigree like this can be found. Until confirmed we list Hannah as
      a spouse for this William with mother as listed for Silas Carpenter.
      Silas b. abt 1681 found as a son to Silas b. 1650, grandson to William
      Carpenter. Different mother however. Moved to that family.

      !Another child: a Timothy Carpenter is alleged to be a son of William,
      (Due to an error in a will extract book, Admiral Carpenter thought
      the father of his Timothy was William. Silas is the correct name for that
      record. It was Silas who owned land near Armonk and HIS son named
      Timothy did not ever marry Phoebe Coles. This caused much confusion.)
      who owned land near Armonk in 1718. The Timothy Carpenter married Phoebe
      Coles was not the son of his William (NOW KNOWN CORRECTLY AS SILAS) per
      Charles L. Carpenter, Rear Admiral USN Ret. (in a letter dated Dec. 12, 1974).

      !There was two (2) Timothy Carpeters in this time period who are often confused.
      1) Timothy the son of William C. & Elizabeth Smith Mudge who married Phoebe
      (Coles) of this William. AND
      2) Timothy the son of Silas C. & Jean or Jane Thornycraft who married Elizabeth
      Anderson. The now Deceased Admirial Carpenter had once thought the two might
      be the same BUT thanks to corrections, wills and more research realized there
      was 2 (TWO) Timothy Carpenters. The Admiral is descended from the Timothy who
      was the son of Silas (At one time erroneous known as William) Carpenter.

      !William acted as one of the Proprietors after the death of his brother Joseph
      until 1706, when his nephew Joseph reached legal age. The Town Records shows
      very clearly that he was a large land-owner and prominent in the affairs of the
      plantation. He was a blacksmith by trade, and had his homestead and shop in
      that part of town known as "Duck Pond." He sold this property in 1720, and
      probably moved to Westchester county, though he still had landed interests at
      Musketa Cove as late as 1734.
