READ FROM THE CENSUS IMAGE BY CLAUDE in Owen's signed-in Chrome, 1 Aug 2026 (not from the index — see the two index errors this caught). Ancestry coll. 8054 rec. 16999058. NARA RG29 M432 Roll 196 p. 12a, line 18, dwelling 168 family 169. Image 4193962-00451, 23 of 95. Roger Quisenberry 57 Farmer real estate $5,250 b. KENTUCKY Polly Quisenberry 54 Roger T Quisenberry 18 · Roger P Brockman 6 · George E Darnaby 18 ⭐ MATCHES THE TREE: Roger 57 = [1133] Roger Quisenberry b.1792 Winchester, Clark Co., KY, d.1877 the same county — age and birthplace both exact · 'Polly' 54 = [1134] Mary POLLY Eubank(s) b.1795 (would be 55; the census says 54). ⭐⭐ THE IMAGE CORRECTED THE INDEX A SECOND TIME, AGAIN IN THE TREE'S FAVOUR: the index reads 'Roger S'; the image reads 'Roger T.', matching [1136] Roger TANDY Quisenberry b.1831. The worksheet had left this initial 'unresolved and the image would settle it' — the image settled it. ⭐ CORROBORATION, NOT LINKED: dwelling 167/168, immediately adjacent, holds 'James M. Quisenberry 26' with $3,843 — [1139] James Harvey Quisenberry b.1823, his son. The census taker walked from father to married son. THIS IDENTIFICATION NO LONGER RESTS ON THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD ALONE. The adjacent dwelling is a different household and is NOT linked to this citation. ⚠️ Roger P Brockman 6 and George E Darnaby 18 are in the household and are NOT in this tree. Not created. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: Roger Quisenberry also appears in the 1850 SLAVE SCHEDULES.

Research note · 1 Aug 2026
Audited 1 Aug 2026 — her first, and her first citation. 'Polly Quisenberry, 54' in the 1850 census of District 2, Clark Co., Kentucky — b. c.1796 against her recorded 1795, and the census's 'Polly' is the tree's own middle name for her, [1134] Mary POLLY Eubank(s). ⚠️ SHE STILL HAS NO PARENTS in this tree. ⭐⭐ THE GENERATION'S FINDING, from the four households read together: A MIGRATION COHORT IN SILVER CREEK, RANDOLPH CO., MISSOURI. Two unrelated families arrive in the same township within a few years of each other in the 1830s, from two different states — MANSFIELD from Virginia (flip at Elizabeth, 17) and CAVENS from Kentucky (flip at Margaret E, 12). That is REGION x ERA x ANCHOR as `stopping-rules.md` sec.3 asks for it: Randolph Co., Missouri, the 1830s, the push west, with four named ancestors standing in it. THIS IS CARPENTER'S ERA HOOK AND IT DID NOT EXIST BEFORE 1 Aug 2026. ⛔ THE LIMIT, STATED: in both households the entries above the flip are DITTO MARKS whose referent is inferred from the parents' state. Each flip is legible; the extent above it is not. Re-read at higher zoom before either bracket is written as a fact. Worksheet: ancestry/carpenter-gen7-census-worksheet-2026-08-01.md
