Are you familiar with "The Carver Family of New England" by Clifford Carver? There's a lot about this family there. I'm pretty sure I found it at Archive.org using a Google search for Henry, something like:

"Henry Carver Marshfield MA"

Hi

I think Israel is an ancestor of Henry I Carver husband of Carrie F Lapham, both born c 1868 in Marshfield. If not they are probabaly at least relatives.

Do you have any additional information that could help me with this? Thanks,

Jennifer
