The older Timothy Carver and his wife Rebecca Washburn were early settlers in the vicinity of Carmel, New York. Five children reached maturity; Rebecca, wife of Jeremiah Hughson; Mehetable, wife of Daniel Pierce; Timothy (1753- 1825); Thankful, wife of ------ Abbott; Barnabas (1761-1831), who left no descendants. Pelletreau, William, History of Putman County, New York, pp. 357-359.

Timothy⁵ Carver (Eleazer^4-3, John², Robert¹) came to New York from eastern Massachusetts. This branch of the family merits further study for Rebecca Washburn must have been the descendant of a Mayflower passenger, either Francis Cooke or John Billington. Of the children of Timothy' Carver at least four died unmarried, Jonathan, Mary, Rachel and Daniel. James⁷ Carver was involved in a famous law suit over a tract of land.
