Dubious Pedigree - Carpenter

John Carpenter

There appear to be at least three or four families conflated in these profiles:

  • the Carpenters of Wrington, Somerset
  • the Carpenters of Dilwyn, Herefordshire
  • the Carpenters of Devon
  • the Carpenters of Marden, Wiltshire

The profiles in the list jump around geographically, mostly between Herefordshire, Wiltshire and Devon. Is there any kernel of truth in any of this? The profiles also appear to have been duplicated and conflated over and over.

Point of Truth

Robert Carpenter - this profile has reliable sources and seems to be a good candidate for sorting out some of the above tangle.
