Family:Thomas Carpenter and Pride Shawnee (1)

Family Data

Twenty year old Thomas Pasmere Carpenter came to Jamestown, Virginia from England in 1627, living in a cave near the Shawnee. Thomas was called "Cornplanter" by the Shawnee, derived from their sign language that matched as near as possible to the work of a carpenter. He married a Shawnee woman named "Pride" and bore a son between 1635-1640 named Trader Carpenter, who as an adult, was named Amatoya Moytoy.
