  • Notes 
    • Seigneur de Gouy
      Godefroid or Godefroy in French, Godwin in Old English.
      Gaufrido Carpentari is the latin version.
      Per Raymond George Carpenter, American Genealogist: "In 1121 A.D. a Godwin
      Carpenter resided in Suffolk County, England."

      !Godwin is either the father or direct relative to Ailric or Robert Carpenter.
      Godwin was probably born in France, but no record is listed until a Suffolk record of 1121 and 114? (not readable) in which of the latter date he was probably the scribe or author?
      He may have been nominated or promised the Earl of Suffolk at one time. BUT, no official documentation in any record book. It is unknown if he died before 1154 or was kicked out of the country along with William of Ypres when King Edward II became King of England.

      INTRODUCTION
      Although the family treated of In this work has not
      been definately traced beyond Pierre de Carpentier of
      Messen, Flanders yet its origin - appears in " Histore
      dc Cambray et du Cambresis, par Jean le Carpentier,"
      published at Leyden, 1664, vol. II, page 369:
      "Since the year 1166 the family is known in the archives of
      the Abbey of Vauchelles to which much assistance was
      rendered by Barthelemy and Renaud Carpentier issue of Roger,
      Sire de Gouy, as we learn from the Tournament of Auchin in
      the year 1096. Siger Carpentier and Godefroy, descended
      from the said Renaud, were held in high esteem in Cambray and
      adjacent parts about 1200.
      Siger gave, among others, the tithes of Attiche to the Abbey of Cisoing in the year 1265, as can be seen in the archives of that place. He was Seigneur de Vannes and one of the most eminent knights of his time and laid the foundation for a fair posterity, which settled in French Flanders, through his marriage with Berthe Dame en Arquenghem by whom he had a son named Anseau whose descendants maintained themselves with glory and fame as late as the year 1400, when some of them, because of disfavor, were obliged to retreat to France, where, to the present day, they keep up the rank of their ancient nobility and are Seigneurs de Berthier, de Crecy, de Machy, de Ratilly de Marigny, etc.
      "This House possessed in the Netherlands, where the main branch has been extinct for nearly a century, the Seigneuries de Vannes, d' Avesnes lez Obert, du petit Ribecourt, de Maire, de Hamarree, de Tilloy, de Waignou, d'Aumont, de Flechinet, etc. It gave a bishop to Chartres and an abbot to St. Vaast in Arras; an almoner to Robert, Count de Flanders; governors to Therouane, grand bailiffs to Courtray; counsellors and gallant captains for armies to emperors, kings and princes, and even governors to newly discovered and conquered countires of the United Netherlands, etc. It has distinguished itself through brilliant alliances by marriage with many noble houses. Some of the descendants of the aforesaid Godefroy de Carpentier, Sire de Daniel and d'Avesnes-les-Obert (benefactor of the Abbey of Vaucelles according to a title of the year 1280, and brother of the aforesaid Siger, Sire de Vannes), left for England and Holland, where they bear different arms, although descended from the same house which recognizes as its originators of the ancient and illustrious Seigneurs de Gouy or Goy, who are so renowned in the archieves of the abbies of St. Vaast d'Arras, Mont St. Elloy, Honnecourt, Mont St. Martin, etc., since the year 1036, which is mentioned by Andre Du Chesne in his genealogical works.
      "Of this house was Jean le Carpentier, Treasurer-General of the Emperor Charles the Fifth, who by Marguerite de Langhe, daughter of Jean, had a daughter named Jeanne le Carpentier, who married Matthieu de Keinooghen, son of Jean Escuyer and Barbe d'Espelghem, who was father of Marie de Keynooghem married to Adrian van der Goes."
      The rest of the book gives the descendants of this Pieter.
