I found the following information on Anne Osborne.  I just don't know if I should add this to her profile.  Her marriage to Moses Pennington has her birthplace as NC, which is in conflict with all the other information about her.  The Anne Osborne I am researching had Pennington-2278 Mahala Pennington.  I don't want to just insert info and be completely off base.

I wouldn't bother with the last two.  They're highly derivative and should be used only as finding aids, not as sources.

I note there is an invitation to collaborate on the profile.  Consider communicating with the profile manager, telling about the sources you have discovered.  Wait to hear back.  If no response add the sources, write bio with footnotes.  If it's wrong information it can be changed back.
I think, however that it is best to try to make contact with the PM
