William Carpenter (February 25, 1830 – September 1, 1896) was an English printer and author, and a proponent of the flat Earth theory, active in England and the United States in the nineteenth century. Carpenter immigrated to the United States and continued his advocacy of the Flat Earth movement. Carpenter was born on February 25, 1830 in Greenwich, Kent, England and he was baptized on April 30, 1830 at Maize Hill, formerly known as Bethel - Independent in Greenwich. He was the eldest son of Samuel Carpenter and Lucy Moss. He married Annie Gillett January/March 1853 and they eventually had six children.
