ALEXANDER CARPENTER 1545-1612;
MRS PRISCILLA (Druscilla) CARPENTER 1551-1653
(Note: Many records have been searched to ascertain the parentage of Alexander Carpenter, without success.)
Alexander Carpenter, the father, was at Leyden with the Pilgrims, as were also his three daughters Julia Ann, Agnes (called also Anna), and Alice. The rest of the family were probably there too, but a yet we have no evidence of it. Julia Ann m. at Leyden, July 23, 1612, George Morton, from York, England, father of Nathaniel Morton, author of “New England’s Memorial;” Agnes m. at the same place, April 30, 1613, Samuel Fuller, afterwards one of the Mayflower passengers, but she d. before May 12, 1617; and Alice m. Edward Southworth, and after his death came to Plymouth, in 1623, and m. Gov. William Bradford.
Alexander Carpenter*, of Wrington, Somersetshire, England, migrated to Leiden, Holland. 4 of Alexander Carpenter's daughters emigrated to New England, and 3 of them married and had children by early colonists (Julie Ann, Alice, and Bridget.)
--------------------
He was a member of the "Ancient Brethren"
He was a Dissenter and, on account of religious persecution removed with his family to Leyden, Holland. Alexander Carpenter was in Wrighton, Somersetshire, Eng on 16 Dec 1600 when he was witness at the Amsterdam marriage of Antoine Fetcher and Jenneken Richeman. He was at Leiden, Holland by 1611.
Mary Carpenter (daughter) was born about 1577. In a letter she appears to have accepted the invitation of her brother-in-law, William Bradford, for she subsequently came to this country, where she resided till her death, at the ripe age of ninety. The Plymouth Church Records as quoted by Winsor, thus record that event: “1667: Mary Carpenter (sister of Mrs. Alice Bradford, the wife of Governor Bradford), a member of the church at Duxbury, died at Plymouth…” (unmarried.)
