Citing The Life of Lord George Carpenter, published 1736:
'William, of Homme, No. 5 [in the pedigree presented by Amos Carpenter], probably born in 1440, died in 1520.'
The Life of Lord George Carpenter gives William's death year, but not birth year, which was presumably estimated by Amos Carpenter.

p. 33: 'The statements in Playfair, Burke, and Davis and Owen, in regard to the descent of the Tyrconnel Carpenters from John of 1303, and also from William of Homme, establishes the fact that the Homme Carpenters are all descended from John of 1303.'
Comment: Amos Carpenter's conclusion that William Carpenter of the Holme was descended from the John Carpenter of 1303 (through the elder brother of John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London), is a very large leap from the information provided to him. Burke's information about the Tyrconnel Carpenters is not available online for free, but the appendix of Carpenter's book presents pertinent information from Playfair (see below), and Davis and Owen (in The New Peerage, published 1784) simply repeat the ancestry presented in Curll's Life of the Late Right Honourable George Lord Carpenter (going back as far as William of Holme, but no farther).
p. 827: From Playfair's Family Antiquities Published 1810 in London.
'The noble family of Carpenter from which the Earl of Tyrconnel is descended is of great antiquity in the county of Hereford and other parts of England.'
'In 1303 John Carpenter was a member of parliament for the Borough of Laskard in Cromwall [was this meant to be Liskeard, Cornwall?] born some years previous to 1300. John Carpenter was town clerk of London and served in parliament held in Cambridge.'
'William Carpenter of Homme Esq., His Lordship's immediate ancestor* died in the year 1520 ...'
* Calling William of Homme Lord Tyrconnel's "immediate ancestor" (when he was not his father) seems to mean that he is the farthest back that can be traced for Lord Tyrconnel.
