This Jacob stated his father was Increase of LI. - Where did this come from? Disproved.
DNA: The Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project, a DNA surname study, in October 2010 has only one person that has tested on this line. 160787 And they do not match the rest of Group 3 (Rehoboth descendants) in that project. Efforts are underway to secure another sample or two. JRC

HISTORY:
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) was the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years' War. The war was fought between the colonies of British America and New France, with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France, as well as Native American allies.

SEARCH:
French and Indian War was from 1754 - 1763 and using that, I searched for a John Carpenter arriving during that time period into NY. The closest ones found appear to be mostly duplicates of various types of how the original book is displayed. And 1764 is far after the claimed 1757 marriage date.
Focusing on prior to 1757, I found only 1 entry and that was 1749 Annapolis, Maryland. This would make Jacob age 10. Plausible if he immigrated with his family. Unfortunatley, I only found a Johanna Carpenter, likely a spouse to Jacob. This makes that Jacob much older than 10.

HISTORY:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War
The French and Indian War (1754–1763) comprised the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years' War of 1756-1763. The war pitted the colonies of British America against those of New France, with both sides supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France, as well as by Native American allies. At the start of the war, the French North American colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 European settlers, compared with 2 million in the British North American colonies. The outnumbered French particularly depended on the Indians. Following months of localised conflict, the metropole nations declared war on each other in 1756, escalating the war from a regional affair into an intercontinental conflict.
The name French and Indian War, used mainly in the United States, refers to the two main enemies of the British colonists: the royal French forces and the various indigenous forces allied with them. British and European historians use the term the Seven Years' War, as do English speaking Canadians. French Canadians call it La guerre de la Conquête (the War of the Conquest) or (rarely) the Fourth Intercolonial War. ...
In 1755, six colonial governors in North America met with General Edward Braddock, the newly arrived British Army commander, and planned a four-way attack on the French. None succeeded, and the main effort by Braddock proved a disaster; he lost the Battle of the Monongahela on July 9, 1755 and died a few days later. British operations in 1755, 1756 and 1757 in the frontier areas of Pennsylvania and New York all failed, due to a combination of poor management, internal divisions, effective Canadian scouts, French regular forces, and Indian warrior allies.
