3.	William* Carver (John,* Robert1), of Marshfield, born Marshfield 6 Sept 1659, died there 2 Oct. 1760, in his 102a year. He married first, at Marshfield, 18 Jan. 1682, Elizabeth Foster, who was born there 24 Sept. 1664 and died ,. then in June 1715, daughter of Dea.

The following notice of William Carver?s death appeared in-the Boston Gasette and Country Journal of Monday, 20 Oct ' 1760, the statement about William Carver?s relationship to Gov. John Carver being, of course, an error:	j
?We hear froth Marshfield in the County of Plymouth that <? the 2nd inst. died there Mr. William Carver, aged 102 years, who retained his reason to the last. He was brother?s son to the ancieflt r Gov. Carver of the Plymouth Colony, and left behind him the fifth generation of male issue, in all, children, grandchildren, great- > grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, ninety-six.?
In his will, dated 5 Apr. 1742 and proved 10 Oct. 1760, William Carver mentioned four sons, John, William, Josiah. and Joshua, and four daughters, Millicent Carver, Mary Stand- ?, ish, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sarah Taylor. His son Joshua w** made sole executor. According to an appraisal dated 24 Oct --1760 the total value of his estate was ?1030. 11s. 5d. _	..	.

?-John* Carver (John* Robert*), of Marshfield and Plymouth ??_? (Plympton), bom at Marshfield, probably about 1661, died in that part of Plymouth which in 1/07 was incorporated as the town of Plympton, in or about 1747, when administration on his estate was recorded. He married at Plymouth, 24 Oct. 1689 (Plymouth vital records), Mary Barnes, bom at Plymouth 14 Aug. 1667, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Hedge) Barnes of Plymouth.
He probably moved from Marshfield to Plymouth about the time of his marriage, and his name appears on lists of jurors chosen at Plymouth 16 Dec. 1695 and 18 Mar. 1710 (Plymouth Colony Records, vol. 1, pp. 240, 275). In the record of the administration of his estate the names of his heirs are not mentioned.

According to Mitchell?s ?History of Bridgewater? (p. 129), .?.	Eleazer Carver and his wife Experience settled m what
Mitchell calls South Bridgewater and had the children named ,;4 .-	below and perhaps others. In the record of his marriage at
? ^	Milton he is styled ?of Taunton?; and, as the births of the
*;	children are not recorded at Bridgewater, they may have been
bom at Taunton, the town records of which were destroyed by a	fire in 1838.

Experience and the five children named below.
