Some 20 children are credited to him by at least two, possibly three wifes. Which child is which and which is duplicated is unknown at this time. He died at Musceta Cove, an indian word for Mosquito Cove, in 1693 and that his wife Hannah died there too. The five purchasers of Musketa Cove were Joseph Carpenter, Nicholas Simpkins and the brothers Daniel, Robert and Nathaniel Coles, sons of Robert Coles of Pawtuxet, RI.  A Map drawn in 1677 showed that the only Carpenters on Musketa Cove were the brothers Joseph and Ephraim Carpenter.  Joseph owned the site of the first house built in Musketa Cove about 1668. Adjacent to his land was the land of Daniel Coles, son of robert Coles of Pawtuxet. Amos B. Carpenter stated in the Carpenter Memorial he was never ever able to substantiate any migration from Wales to Long Island in 1678, supporting the determination that the brothers had orginated in Providence.  James Usher indicates in his record a Carpenter family that was descendant of Caleb Zimmerman of Prussia that went to England as a "Friend" and his descendants went to Wales then America to Long Island.
