Making note that through Ancestry, I have many dna matches that come down through Benjamin and several of his children. Phoebe is my line.

Bissell-836 and Bissell-143 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents. I accidentally created this Benjamin Bissell from family records (Grandmother Seelye) only knowing that a Phoebe Bissell b @1730 had a father named Benjamin Bissell, then linked them to the John Bissell/Sarah White parents.

Tom;

I don't understand your comment "differing birth years by 58", as the birth years appear to be approximately the same. I'm no doubt missing something, could you please clarify? Thanks

Believe he is attached to wrong parents in this profile. Parents should be: Bissell-120 and White-4865. Should be corrected, then Bissell-836 should be merged into this profile.
