But which data are correct?

Wikitree does not support having multiple entries when uncertain.

The birth dates are a decade apart as are the birth locations. sometimes when a child dies young, the name is reused. This can lead to confusing some data. I'd like to rule this out before merging them.

Polly Bledsoe was born in 1778, not 1789. She was born in Virginia, not in Wilson, Tn. Wilson County was not formed until 1799. In fact, Tennessee wasn't founded until 1796. The 1850 census states that Polly Read, age 73, wife of William Read was born in Virginia, as was her husband, Capt. William Henry Read. * 1850 Census: "United States Census, 1850"

citing family , NARA microfilm publication (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.). FamilySearch Record: MC69-BQK (accessed 26 March 2023) FamilySearch Image: S3HT-66T3-SK1 Image number 00288 Polly Reed (73) in Sumner, Tennessee, United States. Born in Virginia.

Polly Read didn't die young. She was married 27 Nov 1794 in Sumner, Tennessee. She could not have been born in 1789. She was born in 1778 in Virginia. * Marriage: "Tennessee Marriages, 1796-1950" citing FHL microfilm: 969843; FamilySearch Record: XDQP-BML (accessed 26 March 2023) Polly Bledsoe marriage to William Reed on 27 Nov 1794 in Sumner, Tennessee, United States.
