[Submit was the 8th child of Eliphalet and Elizabeth Carpenter after SIX of their children had died suddenly in the 1740 New England epidemic of the "Great Throat Distemper" (Diphtheria). It might be that Eliphalet Carpenter, being a devout Christian, had named Submit to remember his grappling with the Sovereignty of God. Out of 10 children, it is Submit who is buried right next to her father.
