Sheldon-1560 and Sheldon-745 appear to represent the same person because: Your dates are different than what I have. Please review sources on Sheldon -745. If their sons, both Jonathan's are the same ((which they are) then this is the same guy. I'll dig a little to see if I can find additional info. Most of mine is from down through the family via documents etc...
