Nathaniel and Tamar married and lived in the Oyster Bay area. On 18 Apr 1694 Tamar’s father deeded to Nathaniel a farm of fifty acres as a free gift "because he hath married my eldest daughter Tamra". Eventually they ended up with a farm of 220 acres. This farm was situated in the part of town known as Cedar Swamp, and was on the westerly side of the highway leading from Musketo Cove to Lusum (Jerico).

On 16 Apr 1719, Nathaniel and Tamar Carpenter sold to Thomas Pearsall all but 10 acres of their Musketa Cove farm. When on 4 May 1722 Nathaniel (without Tamar’s signature) sold Pearsall the remaining piece, the grantor was “of north Casell Near Rye”.^[1]
