Facts and Events
Named in his father's will, not yet 16 years of age:
- "I will that Anne my wife, shall have the occupation of all those lands, meadows, leaseholds and pastures, together with -----------------of a lease made to me and one John Meeth, by Hugh Whitney, and which I have assigned to my son, William, and that my wife, shall have the arranging of the same ----------- answering, paying and accomotating the profits of the same to my executor, at the end of four years next ensiuing, and that my wife and my executor -------------- come unto take some lease or other bargain with the same stock, where they shall be most necessary, to the use of my Son William, and in case they cannot --------------------- the same stock, until the said William, shall come to the age of 16 years, and then my executor, to yield and pay the same stock to my son William."
There were additional mentions in the will - see his father's page.
It has been speculated that he was the William Carpenter who married Catherine Grenely in Staunton on Arrow (about 10 miles from Kinnersley) in 1583 and/or Catherine Rodd in Staunton on Arrow in 1595. However, William and Catherine(s) of Staunton on Arrow had children baptized there in 1587, 1589, and 1598 (at least), after William Carpenter had received his inheritance in Kinnersley, strongly suggesting the presence of a separate Carpenter family in Staunton on Arrow.
References
- ↑ He was under the age of 16 in 1572, when his father wrote his will. Given that the clause mentions his mother paying the profits from a lease to his father's executor at the end of 4 years, it is possible that William was 12 when his father wrote his will.
