Bryant-6154 and Bryant-936 appear to represent the same person because: Clear Duplicate

All of the sources listed are no longer on the web, the North Carolina will make no sense with a person born in Massachusetts and died in Virginia. And, through sources, we know that the James Bryant that married Sarah Braswell was born in Virginia and died in North Carolina. So, the biography matches her husband, the data in the profile does not. Can we merge in Bryant -936 which seems to correctly have the data for the husband of Sarah?
