John Carpenter, Obiit 1540
↑ His birth year (1490) is estimated based on the estimated birth year of his grandfather (1440) and the fact that he and his father were oldest (surviving) sons, and also to make it possible that his grandson James married in 1561 (not proven).

His birth year has often been estimated as 1495. This is probably based on a birth date of 3 Sep 1495, which is assigned to 2 different men named John Carpenter in Find A Grave (one of Herefordshire and one of Somerset), and therefore should be considered unreliable.
