43.	Zadock* Carve* (? William,1 William* William,* John* Robert1), of Duxbury and probably of Rochester, born probably about 1762, was probably the Zadok Carver who died at Rochester in March 1826 (Rochester Vital Records). He married at Duxbury, 14 Jan. 1790 (Duxbury Vital Records), .Sarah Chandler, either the Sarah Chandler who was baptized in the First Parish of Duxbury 23 June 1765 (ib.), daughter of Thomas Chandler, or the Sarah Chan[d]ler who was bom at Duxbury 6 Sept 1770, daughter of Ezekiel and Mary Chan[dller (ib.).	.
One Zadok Carver (perhaps the No. 43 of this genealogy, although the place from which he enlisted is not given) enlisted11 July 1779 as a private in Capt. Archibald McAllister?s company, Col. Samuel McCobb?s regiment, and served to 24 Sept. 1779, 2 months, 13 days, on an expedition against Majorbagaduce. He enlisted again 14 Aug. 1780 in Captain McAllister?s company, Colonel Prime?s regiment, and was discharged 23 Dec. 1780, having served 4 months, 10 days, at the Eastward, under command of Brigadier General Wadsworth. The roll was certified to at Headquarters near Thomaston [Maine]. (Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War, vol. 3, p. 170.)
The records here cited about the family of Zadock Carver are confusing, and the statements given below about his children should be regarded as probable merely, not as proved. The United States Census of 1790 reveals a Zadock Carver living at Duxbury, with only his wife in his family (undoubtedly the Zadock Carver who married, 14 Jan. 1790, Sarah Chandler), and also a Zadock Carver at Rochester, with a family of one male under 16 and two females. There seems to be no further record of this second Zadock Carver; but five Carver children (two sons, named Chandler and Zadock, and three daughters, one of whom was named Sarah) were baptized in the Second Parish of Rochester in 1807 (Rochester Vital Records). These five children, however, are called children of Thomas Carver (ib.), although the names of three of them, Chandler, Sarah, and Zadock, suggest the proba-

bility that they were children of Zadock and Sarah (Chandler) Carver. The name of Thomas Carver is not found at Rochester in the United States Census of 1790, nor in that of 1800, 1810, or 1820, while the name of Zadock Carver appears there in the census of each of these years except 1800. No will either of Zadock Carver or of Thomas Carver is on record at Plymouth. Therefore it seems probable that the statement in the Rochester Vital Records that the five Carver children baptized in the Second Parish of Rochester in 1807 were children of Thomas Carver is an error, and that they were children of Zadock and Sarah (Chandler) Carver.
The children of Zadock and Sarah (Chandler) Carver were, therefore, probably the following:
i.	A CHIU)? (?child of Zadock"), d. at Duxbury in 1792, aged 1 year
(Duxbury Vital Records, with records of the First Church and Parish).
ii.	Chandlek, of Rochester and Plymouth, bapt, with three sisters
and one brother, in the Second Church of Rochester in 1807 (Rochester Vital Records) ; m. at Rochester, 3 Aug. 1820 (ib.). Catharine Hammond, b. there 30 July 1797 (ib.), daughter of Seth and Elizabeth (Randal) Hammond of Rochester (ib.).

He married there, 16 Mar. 1803 (ib.), Sa*ah Taylor, born there 14 Feb. 1775, died 8 Apr. 1845, aged 70 years, 2 months. (Cf. Richards?s History of Marshfield.)
