Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Granite Monthly, Vol. 43: A New Hampshire Magazine, Devoted to History, Biography, Literature and State Progress On the thirtieth day of November last, in the town of Chichester, came the end of a career, notable alike for length of days, earnest purpose, persistent effort and a high measure of success, judged by all ordinary standards. On that day Charles H.Carpenter, a native and life-long resident of the town, approaching the close of his ninety-second year, closed his earthly account and passed on to the higher life. For over half a century he had been a leading citizen of the town, prominent in county affairs, and known and esteemed in many circles throughout the state. The Carpenter name is one of the oldest and most honorable in English and American annals. It has been borne by those whose lives have been conspicuous in the history of our own and other states in many generations, and is traced back in the English archives to John Carpenter, who was a member of Parliament in 1323, and was the grandfather of the famous town clerk of London of the same name. The progenitor of that branch of the family in America to which Charles H. Carpenter belonged was William Carpenter, born in 1605, who came with his wife, Abigail, and several children, from Wherwell, near Surry, England, in the good ship Bevis, which sailed with sixty-one passengers from Southampton, in 1638, and who settled in Weymouth, Mass., where he was made a "freeman" in 1640, and chosen a representative in the provincial legislature in 1641. He was also "Proprietors´ Clerk" and manifestly a leading man of the town; but removed to Rehoboth in 1645, where he died February 7, 1659.He was prominent in the affairs of the latter town, and was a captain of militia, enjoying the close friendship and confidence of Governor Bradford. John Carpenter, of the fourth generation from William of Rehoboth, the Puritan ancestor, lived in Stafford, Conn., where he reared eleven children. Of these, Josiah, the fifth, was born in October, 1762, and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1787. He studied for the gospel ministry and was ordained over the Congregational church in the town of Chichester, November 2, 1791, being the towns first settled minister, although there had been occasional preaching in town in previous years.
