Part 1
The Herve DeMelun line first presented by Amos Carpenter in "The Carpenter Memorial." has been regarded as a possible theory as to the decendancy line of this Carpenter family, but new information has been presented - it is now believed by present day genealogists that this line (Part I: Josselin DeMelun to Robert Carpenter, 1545) are not direct ancestors of William of Rehoboth). As per the information posted on GEN FORUM on 12.22.2004 by John R. Carpenter about the current findings, I have decided to remove Part 1 (Josselin DeMelun, 910 AD of Melun, Siene et Mame) of this genealogy.theory. Anyone who is still interested in this material will still be able to find it in "The Carpentet Memorial." by Amos Carpenter.
