"Cape Cod Series History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters, by
Leon Clark Hills (1941) [G 974.401 P 738 h Vol.2 - avail at the Indiana
State Lib.] : on page 121, the Carpenter lineage as I have shown it in my
genealogy is given.

Carpenter/Southworth
"My experience with the Cape Cod Series is that it is only a starting
point and much of the genealogical information has been updated and
corrected, particularly in the Mayflower Society "Silver Books" and their
Mayflower Families in Progress and "The Great Migration Begins".
My wife has two lines of descent from the Carpenters of Wringfield
(Southworth and Morton) who emigrated to Leydon before the "Scrooby
Group" and were members of the Ancient Bretheren. Unfortunately I have
found no modern confirmation of the supposed ancient lineage of this
family. See the "Carpenter " section of the newly published, by the
NEHGS, and highly esteemed "Great Migration Begins" by Anderson. He
makes reference to and states that the family is best treated by (the
famous) Mary Lovering Holman in her "Scott Genealogy" pp 284-5 (I have
not seen this). See also MQ 38 and 39 but ,Anderson qualifies the
reliabilty of thse two.
In addition, there is a brief treatment of each of the Carpenter sisters
in the biographical section of Eugene Stratton's excellent "Plymouth Colony"
which is widely available in hardback and paperback."
