Research note · 5 Aug 2026
AUDITED 5 Aug 2026 - [3155] MARGARET ZIMMERMAN/CARPENTER: flagged as a possible duplicate of [3152] MARGRETHA ZIMMERMAN / CARPENTER. No merge has been made.
Conrad Carpenter's will, Lincoln County, Kentucky, 1829, names his full siblings as Adam, Henry, William, Anne, Barbary, Elizabeth, MARGARET and Sollima - ONE Margaret. Family F745 holds BOTH [3152] and [3155], and neither carries a birth date or a citation.
⛔ WHY NO MERGE: "the will names one" is absence-evidence about a very common name. Both were deliberately left unflagged when Conrad's will was cited on 5 Aug 2026. Owen ruled 5 Aug 2026: record the duplicate candidacy on both, merge nothing.
◎ WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT: the Peaked Mountain (Massanutten) register, Rockingham Co., Va., printed complete in William and Mary Quarterly XIII pp. 247-256 and XIV pp. 9-19 and 186-193.
