Kimbell-185 and Kimbell-47 appear to represent the same person because: Both born in Vermont, 1812 or 1813. Both lived in Jefferson County, New York. Obviously named after her mother Charlotte.

Kimbell-47 and Kimball-2045 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband, other details match except for a 2-year offset. Last name spellings are slightly different. I hope the profile managers can work together to figure out which spelling to merge to.

I located her parents and proposed a merge to connect them. Her mother's name was also Charlotte, and I am trying to find her maiden name and parents. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-544575
