Dennis Yeo,
Your posting was so long ago - I'm not sure that you'll receive this info.This is a long shot --
I am a descendant of a George carpenter (b1755 Germany - sir name likely zimmerman originally) who lived in Bedford Co, PA.
One of his sons, Jacob Carpenter b 1789 married Susan Fait.her surname has been spelled a variety of ways including Pate.
One of Jacob and Susan's was George Carpenter, born about 1828 (data from 1850 census).Maybe this is the missing piece for you.
That is the last piece of info that I have on George, son of Jacob.Perhaps he changed his last name back to Zimmerman.
If you have solved the mystery, I would be curious to know what you have found as I am a direct descendant of Jacob Carpenter through another son, Adam who settled in Indiana.
