George Carpenter 'was the Son of Mr. Warncomb Carpenter, Sixth Son of Thomas Carpenter, Esq; of The Holm in the Parish of Dilwyn in [Herefordshire] ... He married Eleanor, Daughter of William Taylor of the same County, Widow of John Hill, Esq; (by whom He had Issue one Son.) She had a considerable Jointure, which besides Fifteen Hundred Pounds given him by his Father, was look'd upon in those Days as a very considerable Fortune for a younger Son. But being possessed with a military Soul, ... He had a Post of Honour given him, and was, at the Battle of Naseby, the 14th of June, 1645, wounded by a Musket Ball, ... The Expence of this Calamity greatly reducing his Fortune, he left but a very small Support for his Wife and Seven Children.
'Of these Seven Children, George Carpenter was the Youngest.'
Comments: Here, the author contradicts an entry later in the book, where he says that Warncomb was the fifth son - although it is possible he was the sixth son and the fifth surviving son. It is also not true that George was the youngest child, as there are 3 baptisms after his - although, again, those children might not have survived.
Based on the sentences that followed, the "He" who married Eleanor Taylor must have been Warncomb (and not George, the subject of the previous sentence). It appears that Warncomb and Eleanor had one surviving son (assuming the "He" in "He had Issue one Son" again referred to Warncomb), Eleanor died, and Warncomb remarried, as George's baptism record lists his mother as Mary.
