On Jan. 28, 1743, in the Court of Orange County (Created in 1734 out of Spotsylvania) JOHN ZIMMERMAN, alias Carpenter, was naturalized. In thus changing his name from “Zimmerman” to “Carpenter”, he followed the example of the older brother, William, who came to Virginia in 1721, and acquiesced in the practice of the English Court official in translating it into its English equivalent.
