Is this honestly a Mayflower connection? [closed]

Question

I can find no records for this person, nor the parents shown...can someone validate the Mayflower source?

Answer 1

James Brown and his wife Margaret Denison had two daughters named Margaret. The first born 28 June 1682 and apparently died young. The second was born 5 July 1687 in Swansea and died  between 28 Jun 1717 and 06 Feb 1733/4. She married ___ Carpenter. She was named in her father's will of 28 Jun 1717, but was probably deceased when her mother named grandson William Carpenter in her will. (MF 23:1:17-18, 66)

I do not find any reliable confirmation of her husband's given name. 

Answer 2

Someone who has access to the Mayflower silver books for Howland will be able to answer this for you as they cover the first 5 generations in the books. Bobbie Hall may be able to help.

Thank you, I think I may be a descendant from the Howland Tilley family...

Hi Robin,

Answer 4

I have not found any marriage record for Margaret Brown daughter of James Brown and Margaret Denison and Mayflower Pilgrim Genealogies lists no spouse except [Mr. Margaret Brown] Carpenter and a possible son of William so Margaret is descedent of John Howland husband and child need to be researched better.

Answer 5

He appears in the GSMD applications https://trees.americanancestors.org/#!/tree/97470/people/0S7-JRMC-X4BF

his mother has a Swansea birth record {{FamilySearch Record|FZDD-MVP}} and appears in Mayflower Birth & Death  Apparently she died during son's infancy.

I didn't find him in MF5G on line

Answer 6

I don't own "Lainhart, Ann Smith. Mayflower Families through Five Generations, Volume 23, Part 1, Family of John Howland, General Society of Mayflower Descendents, Plymouth, MA., 2004," but I searched AmericanAncestors.org, "Mayflower Families Fifth Generation Descendants, 1700-1880," for William Carpenter and he does not appear in the Howland Part 1.
I think the source on the William Carpenter page should be removed, right?
