She was possibly the daughter of Edward Bennett and Elizabeth ?Edgington? Bennett. (There is a marriage of an Edward Bennett and Elizabeth Edington at Weymouth, Co.Dorset on Oct 27,1622) The connection has not been proven with certainty, though it was reported in Descent from 79 Early Immigrant Heads of Families (Elston, 1962-1971). For now, I have entered links to these possible parents, but this may not be correct. The birthdate is also unsourced, and could be 1632.

Edward Bennett came to New England with his wife Elizabeth and four children, and settled in Weymouth,MA in 1636 where land was given to him. He was made a Freeman at General Court held in Boston, May 26, 1636. He resided in Weymouth seven years, when he joined the Rev. Newman's Company, and became one of the original proprietors of that part of Rehoboth, MA called Seekonk, moving there with his family in 1643. He died there about 1645-6.

First wife of William Carpenter.

Children: John Carpenter, William Carpenter, Priscilla Carpenter Sweet, and Benjamin Carpenter.
