I have not tried using the discussion feature before so sorry for any misuse.

Am I the only one to notice that this profile of Phillip Carriker (Karcher), Jr. is badly conflated? Yes, Philip was married to Barbara Nussman on November 3, 1800 at about age 43 and they had a kid Lewis. But what proof exists that Philip ever married Barbara Lyerly? And is Barbara Lyerly not the maiden name of the wife of Philip's purported father-in-law (Adolphus Nussman)? Also, it seems highly unlikely that Philip would have two sons named Lewis, each with slightly different spellings of the last name. And what did Philip do with his adult life prior to age 43? I would propose that the answer to this latter question is that he married Eva Rosina Goodman and had five kids. My problem with that answer is that I have NOT been able to document the marriage to Eva (purportedly on 3 Nov 1787 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina). Can anyone help with that?
