Harrold-224 and Harrold-42 do not represent the same person because: Different names, same parents; possibly sisters

Rachel was born in PA not NC. Both monthly meetings are named New Garden which can cause the confusion. Citation of her Quaker birth record is now listed in Sources.

Harrold-224 and Harrold-42 appear to be a match despite severe issues with spouses and dates and mismatched parents. I marked them as unmerged matches while we figure it out. This will be a big and complicated project to get this all sorted out. PLEASE HELP! Thanks. :-)
