Alexander Carpenter married in 1581. According to older sources, her name was Priscilla Dillen. There was a Priscilla Carpenter who died in 1653 in Wrington, Somerset, but, in a letter dated 19 Aug 1644 or 1646 from Alice Bradford to Mary Carpenter (then of Wrington, Somerset), it is clear that the mother of the Carpenter sisters had recently died in the colonies. This is discussed in "Great Migration Begins", 1995, Vol I, p.314.

Alexander and his unknown wife had at least 5 daughters and perhaps 3 more children, according to the "Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family" by Amos Carpenter in 1898:

. Julianna Carpenter (1584 - 1665)
+ sp: George Morton
+ sp: Manasseh Kempton
. Alice Carpenter (1590 - 1670)
+ sp: Edward Southworth
+ sp: William Bradford
. Bridget Carpenter
. Agnes Carpenter (1593 - 1617)
+ sp: Samuel Fuller
. Mary Carpenter (1597 - 1687)
. Priscilla Carpenter Cooper (1597 - 1689)
+ sp: William Wright
+ sp: John Cooper
. William Carpenter
. Joan Carpenter
