Biography
William Carver was a part of William Penn's Pennsylvania Settlers community.
William Carver, who had exchanged a By berry farm with Silas Walmsley for land near Bushington, had a son William, being his eldest son, who married a daughter of Henry Walmsley, and removed to Buckingham . . . The father or son is supposed to have built the Green Tree Tavern, at Bushington. [1]
Immigration
William Carver was certainly an early settler, but I don't have the exact date of arrival or ship yet. One source said "Sampson", need to verify. Powell-5629 01:30, 28 January 2015 (EST)

Children of William Carver, as shown in the Abington Meeting records[2]

Timeline

Conflicting Information
In the Abington records, William Carver appears with wife Jane & daughter Sarah; and wife Mary & sons William & Joseph, which matches the information from Martindale[4]
Elias Carver, in the Genealogy of William Carver[5], has Williams wives & children as:
- m1. 1689 Joan Kinsey -1737
- Sarah Carver b.1690 m. Marshall or Rush
- Rachel Carver m. Denkon
- William Carver b,1694 m. Elizabeth Walmsley
- Rebecca Carver m. Brock
- Hester Carver m. Knight
- Mary Carver m. Samuel Worthington
- m2. (widow) Grace (Paxson) Carter
- Hanna Carver
Both family groups claim "William Carver the immigrant from Herefordshire". Both have a son William "who married Elizabeth Walmsley". Both have a daughter Sara, however one's husband is given as Marshall, the other as Rush. See William Carver the immigrant of 1682 for more.

Back in 1/7/01 I received information from Frank Caligiuri [email address removed] through Genealogy.com who stated that Marshall was her first husband and John Rush was her second husband. All the children were with John.
