Dubious Pedigree - 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
Carpenter is a very common name, so it is quite probable that none of these lines actually connect to each other.

- Stirnet https://www.stirnet.co.uk/genie/data/british/cc4aq/carpenter1.php this is the line associated with the manor of Homme or Holme in Herefordshire. Source appears to be The Peerage of Ireland by Lodge.
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.
References to "the Homme" and Dilwyn appear to be related to the family that ended up with George Carpenter - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carpenter,_1st_Baron_Carpenter
The decent reputedly goes: They are sprung from William Carpenter of the Holme, a manor in the parish of Delwyn, near Weobley, in Herefordshire, who died in 1520, leaving James Carpenter, his heir, who, in 1537, was succeeded by his son, John, who in 1540, left the estate to his son, William, who, in 1550, was succeeded by his son, James, who dying 1593, left a son, James, who dying 1599, was father of Thomas Carpenter of the Holme, esq. who died in 1653, and left six sons, of whom Thomas, the youngest, was father of the first peer.
