Keyes-686 and Keyes-4 appear to represent the same person because: Both Jonathan Keyes (the one b. 1702 and the one listed as b. bef. 1726) should be

merged into Keyes-4.

Hello:

I'm trying to get some clarification on this profile. I see that the dates on here are just rough estimates. My guess is that this profile was entered to be the husband of Patience Morse, and the father of Thomas Keyes, and that the dates are just place holders? Without sources its difficult to know for sure.

I proposed a merge with Jonathan, and it was rejected because the other profile manager believed this was intended to be an earlier son that died young, but I don't think that's the case.

If the dates are not significant, I'd like to delete them so I can propose the merge again? Thank you!
