Carroll-7134 and Carroll-5192 appear to represent the same person because: Identical birth date and death date, Same parents and siblings. First name changed to Anne, as the name Susanna was incorrect. It appears in Ancestry trees but has no valid source. There were only 4 daughters in this very well documented family, not 5.
