6066	Another source states that William married Abigail Bennett, born ABT 1611, of, Wiltshire, England, married ABT 1630, Hampshire, England, died 22 Feb 1687, W.P., Rehoboth, Bristol, Ma. Per THE SECOND BOAT research notes dated May 1980 (vol.1 No. 1) page 15 by Harry Rogers suggests that Abigail was the daughter of William Bennett of Sway, whose will made in 1630 and proven in 1638 (he was buried 20 Aug 1638) names sons-in-law Ralph Carpenter and William Carpenter, but only Ralph served as an executor, making some researchers believe the missing Carpenter was the William who sailed on the Bevis in 1638.

He remained single until his 40th yearwhen he was married but within a year his wife died leaving him a babewhich died before attaining its first year. The loss of his wife andchild wrought a radical changes in his characteristics. From alight-hearted but energetic man of business he in a day as it were became old and reclusive abjuring allsociety; he for years lived in the woods occupying himself with huntingand fishing. After ten or twelve years of this life he began to in somedegree mingle in society and but 16 years ago came to Gary. He has sincemade his home in this locality, chiefly with his brothers family in Watertown, though businessaffairs in Gary and Clear Lake have kept him much in Deuel County. MrBriggs was a man of simple tastes and was best beloved by those who knew him best and nearest. He was a reader of menand books and gave an original and thoughtful interpretation to thesubjects which attracted his attention, a fact not generally known evento long time acquaintances, was of poetical temperment and was mostsusceptible to pathetic and rhythmical influences. 1897 Watertown paper Public Opinion Aug 27th. S.A. Briggs-- I see thatan effort is being made to get electric lights once more in our town. That strikes me very favorably.For one I am heartly in favor of getting electric lights to runningagain. I understand that the parties having the matter in charge would bewilling to start up a new plant if they could get an order or contractfrom the city for running only five or six, if that is all that the city council would feeljustified in taking, and I am sure that we would all feel much better ifsuch lights were again illuminating our streets these dark nights. Thenew company proposes to give an all night service, I understand, exceptwhen the moon shines brightly, and I also understand that it will furnishthe lights to private parties for a cent an hour per each sixteen candlepower. I believe that the public and the tax-payers especially would bewilling to have the city pay for a half a dozen lights. The expensewouldnÙt be much, but the benefits would be great. 1900 Census STEPHEN A age 60 real estate agent with wife FLORA age 42.Children Daisy E 19, STEPHEN F14, George G10.
