Bryant-12710 and Bryant-1470 appear to represent the same person because: See parents one profile is unsourced so its difficult to to be sure
posted by Chris Hoult
Cook-36743 and Bryant-12710 appear to represent the same person because: Sarah Bryant first married Francis Cook and then married Ebenezer Phillips after Mr. Cook died. The marriage dates are the same for both. Ichabod Bryant is the correct father, the source from Bridgewater History is added. The parents of Sarah "Cook" are not correct. Please merge into Sarah Bryant. Ebenezer Phillips is always mentioned as having two wives. (Not Three as it appears now.)

Cooke-2875 and Cook-36743 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse, neither has sources for birth. Parents spell name Cook, so should go with that name.
