Who were your ancestors beyond the names and dates recorded on a family tree?
Carpenter Family History and Genealogy answers that question by bringing ten generations of one family to life through carefully researched genealogy and the history that surrounded them. Beginning in Tudor England with William Carpenter, born about 1576, and following the family across the Atlantic during the Great Puritan Migration, this book traces the Carpenter family through nearly four centuries of English and American history. From the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Plymouth Colony to Vermont, Illinois, and finally Michigan, each generation is presented not only through documented genealogical records but also through the events that shaped their daily lives.
Carpenter Family History and Genealogy answers that question by bringing ten generations of one family to life through carefully researched genealogy and the history that surrounded them. Beginning in Tudor England with William Carpenter, born about 1576, and following the family across the Atlantic during the Great Puritan Migration, this book traces the Carpenter family through nearly four centuries of English and American history. From the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Plymouth Colony to Vermont, Illinois, and finally Michigan, each generation is presented not only through documented genealogical records but also through the events that shaped their daily lives.
Readers will experience the world their ancestors knew-the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the Gunpowder Plot, the English Civil War, King Philip's War, the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, and the tremendous technological changes that transformed everyday life. Rather than simply listing births, marriages, and deaths, each chapter explores the occupations, homes, churches, communities, inventions, epidemics, transportation, politics, and social conditions that influenced each generation. Historical events become personal when viewed through the lives of the people who experienced them. The book is richly illustrated with restored family photographs, historical maps, engravings, period artwork, reconstructed scenes, and images of the places where the Carpenter family lived. Family Group Sheets summarize each generation, while detailed biographies provide historical context that helps readers understand not only who these ancestors were, but what life was actually like during their lifetimes. The research draws upon original and published sources including parish registers, census records, probate files, military records, land records, immigration documents, and colonial records. Where evidence is incomplete, conclusions are based upon the preponderance of available evidence, following accepted genealogical standards.
Whether you are a member of the Carpenter family, a student of American history, or simply someone who enjoys historical biographies, this book offers a unique journey through more than 380 years of family history. This is more than a genealogy. It is the story of ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times-and whose lives helped shape the generations that followed.
