purchasers of Musketa Cove were Joseph Carpenter, Nicholas Simpkins andthe
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.

Here is a short history of Joseph Carpenter and a few decendants,refferences are at the end.
(II) Joseph, eldest son of William and Elizabeth (Arnold) Carpenter, wasborn at Amesbury, Wiltshire, England, about 1635. The first mention madeof him is at Providence, Rhode Island, where on May 3, 1656, he iswitness to a deed from his uncle, Stephen Arnold, to his father, whichindicates that he was then of legal age. The town records of Warwick,Rhode Island, show that he had a "corne mill" at the wading place nearthe Falls on the Pawtuxet river. Here he remained until 1677, although asearly as 1663 he was at Long Island making negotiations for the purchaseof land from the Indians at Oyster Bay. The Hempstead colony on LongIsland resisted the attempts to settle at Oyster Bay, but finally allowedthem to remain in peace. Joseph Carpenter is recorded as having purchased3000 acres of land at Musketa Cove. Associated with him were NathanielColes, Abia Carpenter, Thomas Townsend and Robert Coles. They styledthemselves "The Five Proprietors of Musketa Plantations," which name andstyle was continued until after the revolution. Each proprietor had a"home lott" of five acres set off on which to erect a dwelling. Thesehome lots were situated on a street or highway that they called "ThePlace." The site of these homes on this street, which still bears thename, are very readily identified. On the "lott of Joseph Carpenter" thefirst house was built after the erection of a saw mill. It was occupiedby him all his lifetime, was the birthplace of nearly all his children,and continued in the family for several generations. The plantationprospered, although its growth was retarded by King Philip's war.Following the erection of a saw mill he burt a grist and fulling mill,agreeing with the other proprietors to grind their grain in return forthe use of water power. In a few years the Oyster Bay settlement had itsown town government, constable, overseers, justice of the peace andrecorder. They held their own town meetings and elected their ownofficers until the organization of Queens county in 1683. They had manyindustries, and the records show Joseph Carpenter to have been the primemover in their establishment, and that his energy and ability had made athriving community from an humble beginning. He died during the "sicklyseason" of 1683. The place of his burial is not known. He married (first)April 21, 1659, Hannah, daughter of William Carpenter, of Rehoboth,Massachusetts; she was born at Weymouth, Massachusetts, February 3, 1640,died about 1673.
He married (second) Ann (or Anna), baptized in the Dutch Church at NewYork in 1647, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Luther) Weeks. FrancisWeeks was with Roger Williams in the canoe when he first landed atProvidence. He and his wife were early settlers of Hempstead, LongIsland, where they were heavily fined for "entertaining Quakers," andsoon after removed to Oyster Bay. Children by first wife: 1. Joseph, "theeldest son," inherited the estate and title of his father. 2. A daughter,married William Thornecraft, 3. Tamsen, married John Williams. 4.William, born about 1666. 5.
Nathaniel, said to have been the first white child born at Musketa Cove,Oyster Bay, Long Island; married Tamar, eldest daughter of Robert andMercy (Wright) Coles. 6. Hannah, married Jacob Hicks. Children of secondwife: 7. Ann, married Joseph Weeks. 8. Benjamin, married Mercy, daughterof Robert and Mercy (Wright) Coles, sister of the wife of his halfbrother, Nathaniel. 9. John (posthumous child), married Martha Feake.These children were all prominent in the plantation, and some of themjoined in the exodus from Oyster Bay to "the Main," as Westchester countywas then called, and were among the first settlers at Rye, North Castle,Bedford, Harrison and Mamaroneck. Other families leaving about 1700 werethe Coles, Weeks, Lallings, Wrights, Townsends, Cocks and many others.
(III) Joseph (2), eldest child of Joseph (1) and Hannah (Carpenter)Carpenter, was born about 1660, at Pawtuxet, and inherited the paternalestate, operating a mill and the plantation. There is a tradition that hewas drowned trying to save the mill in a freshet. At any rate he diedbetween September 9, 1687, and 1692. His wife Ann was probably a daughterof Thomas Thornycraft. Record of two sons is found: Joseph, mentienedbelow; Thomas, born August 15, 1687.
(IV) Joseph (3), eldest son of Joseph (2) and Ann Carpenter, was bornOctober 16, 1685, at Pawtuxet, the date being recorded at Oyster Bay, NewYork, probably to authenticate his heirship to one-fifth of the MusketaCove patent. Five days after he came of age he deeded to his uncles,William and Nathaniel, farms in that section. His adult life was passedat Oyster Bay, and in 1707 he instituted suit to recover property inRhode Island formerly belonging to his greatgrandfather, WilliamCarpenter. This suit was successful. He resided on the homestead atPawtuxet until about 1715, when he sold out and moved across the Cove toLot No. 1, in the division of 1681, which is now in the village of SeaCliff. His house was burned by lightning in 1747-8, after which he soldthe land for o225 and retired to the village of Jericho, where he diedJune 3, 1776, at the house of his grandson, Joseph Carpenter. He was asincere member of the Friends Society, often occupying places of trustand responsibility in the town and was noted for his charitablecharacter. To his benevolence many worthy persons were indebted forsubstantial aid at the proper time. He married (first) in 1707, Ann,daughter of Captain Andrew and Ann (Coddington) Willett. She diedFebruary 9, 1709, and he married (second) in 1711, her sister Mary, bornSeptember 21, 1691. She was a granddaughter of Colonel Thomas Willett,born 1610, at Borley, Hertfordshire, England, and came to Plymouth,Massachusetts, in 1629. Later he was at New Amsterdam, and was the firstEnglish mayor appointed over the city of New York, 1665. The Dutch soonafter reoccupied New Amsterdam, and he retired to Swansea, Massachusetts,where he died August 4, 1674. He was a man of much character and abilityand still has numerous descendants in the vicinity of New York.
He married (third) in 1636, Mary, daughter of John Brown, a pioneer ofPlymouth, Massachusetts.
Andrew, son of Thomas and Mary (Brown) Willett, was born at Plymouth, andwas a merchant at Boston, whence he removed about 1680 to Rhode Island.As early as 1692 he returned to Boston and occupied a residence on BostonNeck which was built by his brother-in-law, John Saffin, speaker ofMassachusetts assembly. While residing in Rhode Island he representedWesterly in the general court. He married Ann, daughter of Hon. WilliamCoddington, of Newport, and among their children were daughters Ann andMary, who married successively Joseph Carpenter, as above noted.
(V) Ann, daughter of Joseph (3) and Mary (Willett) Carpenter, bornSeptember 24, 1716, died 1803, married October 8, or December 23, 1737,at Oyster Bay, Samuel Underhill of that town (see Underhill IV).

!SEE: The following data is from a web page on Glen Cove. (submitted byJohn L. Carpenter of NH.
A bit of the Hamlet of Musketa Cove, Town of Oyster Bay (now known as theCity of Glen Cove) early history concerning a young Rhode Islandinhabitant named Joseph Carpenter who purchased 2,000 acres of land onMay 24, 1668 in the then northwest section of the Town of Oyster Bay fromthe Matinecock Indians in order to erect a saw mill.
"On May 24, 1668, a young Rhode Island inhabitant named Joseph Carpenterpurchased 2,000 acres of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bayfrom the Matinecock Indians. His intention was to erect a saw mill andfurnish New York City with lumber desperately needed for the constructionof housing. >Carpenter took in as partners in his venture three brothers:Robert, Daniel and Nathaniel Coles, who were also former inhabitants ofRhode Island living in Oyster Bay; and Nicholas Simkins, also of OysterBay.
These five businessmen chose to retain the place-name by which theMatinecock Indians had known the area, and therefore styled themselves"The Five >Proprietors of Musketa Cove Plantation." Musketa (also spelled"rnusquito") >translates from the Matinecock's language to roughly mean"the place of >rushes."
Within a rather short time, the "Five Proprietors" had dammed a smallstream that ran through the valley, whose course is roughly paralleled byGlen Street today. This dam was located near the foot of Mill Hill,slightly northeast of the present fire department on a spot marked by amemorial plaque.
On the dam was erected the saw mill, which by an early. covenant betweenthe "Five Proprietors" was jointly owned by each of them, and a smallgrist mill which was constructed by Joseph Carpenter under the conditionthat he grind the grain of the other proprietors "well and tolle free forever." (Millers were remunerated for their services by receiving apercentage of the finished flour as payment... usually about 10 per cent).
The lumber produced by the saw mill found a ready market in New YorkCity, which had used up most of the indigenous trees on Manhattan Islandrather quickly. By l679, just two years after Carpenter's purchase fromthe Indians was officially ratified by the colonial New York govemment,the mill was producing nine different thicknesses of boards and timber,as well as tile laths, shingle laths, wainscott, "feather-edged" boardsfor panelling, and custom-cut walnut for cabinet-making.
A small portion of the mill's accounts were recorded in the "Musketa CoveProprietor's Book," a hand- written record of the early settlers' landtransactions and agreements. The accounts indicate that one of the majorpurchasers of Musketa Cove lumber was Jacob Leisler, a prosperous NewYork City merchant who would, in 1689, overthrow the colonial governmentof the colony and, in 1691, would be executed for treason.
However, it appears that Leisler did not forget his acquaintances inMusketa Cove during his reign as ad-hoc governor in New York, heappointed Robert Coles as Captain in the Oyster Bay Militia."
