These 12 "Carpenter Sketches" and the supporting articles are part of the Carpenters' Encyclopedia of Carpenters.

Each biography type sketch contains primary sources and notes. These sketches are updated periodically by the author.

Gene Zubrinsky spent over 30 months delving into primary sources to help correct and update the two William Carpenter immigrant families that came from England in the mid 1630s to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. He updates the article as needed.

UPDATE: In March of 2023 - Gene Zubrinsky found evidence of William1 Shalbourne being alive about Jan 1640/1641 in Weymouth. This should now put an end to undocumented stories of him returning to England or dying enroute to America in 1638. For details please see the updates to the Carpenter Sketches for him (William1) and his son William2 of Rehoboth. See: https://carpentercousins.com/carplink.htm

The Carpenters' Encyclopedia of Carpenters, often referred to as "Carpenter Encyclopedia" or "CE", was first published in 2001 in a two CD set (CE CD 2001). The most recent update is the 2009 data DVD version (CE 2009 DVD). What is in the CE 2009 DVD? click here.
