Smith-245743 and Smith-50677 appear to represent the same person because: For whatever reason this profile did not come up when I was adding mine. Can you kindly merge? Thank you.

There are 2 different Find A Grave memorials for him. He was born in 1757, not 1751. That's why it did not come up as a suggestion when you added a profile.
