Synopsis
Excerpt from Genealogical and Historical Record of the Carpenter Family: With a Brief Genealogy of Some of the Descendants of William Carpenter, of Weymouth, and Rehoboth, Mass., William Carpenter, of Providence, R. I., Samuel Carpenter, of Penn., And Ephraim, Timothy and Josias Carpenter, of Long Island
The persecution of Friends in England commenced about the year 1648, and reached its height during the reign of Charles II, when the prisons were filled with victims, without regard to sex, age or condition, and shiploads were banished from the Kingdom. The large accession of an industrious and thrifty population to the Island of Barbadoes, through this cause, speedily developed its natural re sources, and induced others voluntarily to repair thither. Among them,' it is believed, was Samuel Carpenter.
The time of his arrival can only be conjectured. He was born in 1650, fifteen years prior to the general banishment of 1664 - 5. Ao cording to Besse, in 1673, he suffered (in Barbadoes) considerably in distraints for refusing to bear arms.
