Life story
A Rehoboth Cooper
Samuel Carpenter was born around 1638 near Weymouth, Plymouth Colony, and after his father's death jointly ran the family farm in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, with his mother, working as both a cooper and planter. He served Rehoboth for years as surveyor, way warden, and constable, became a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1670, and donated generously to the colony's war effort during King Philip's War. Samuel died without a will and was buried in the Old Rehoboth Burying Ground on February 20, 1683; his estate, including 220 acres of land and his cooper's tools, was appraised at over 436 pounds.
