Life story

A Palmer's River Petitioner

Abraham Carpenter was born September 25, 1682, in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, son of Samuel Carpenter, and inherited a third of his father's estate as a child in 1688. He farmed in Rehoboth and, in 1718, joined fellow members of the Palmer's River congregation in petitioning the town for funds promised to help finish their meeting house. In his January 1756 will, Abraham divided his estate between his son Abiel and his grandson Abraham, with his personal effects reserved for his wife Eleanor during her lifetime and afterward passed to his granddaughter and great-granddaughter Lois Carpenter. He died in Rehoboth on April 20, 1758.
