Butcher-801 and Butcher-1349 appear to represent the same person because: obvious duplicate
posted on Butcher-1349 (merged) by David Wilson
Butcher-1156 and Butcher-801 appear to represent the same person because: If these two profiles are for the wife of Jacob Pitsenbarger, who died 1842 in Wayne Twp., Darke Co., Ohio, they are certainly for the same woman. However, there are some important discrepancies between them - mainly birth and marriage places. The birth date is usually written 1768/9, but genealogy software doesn't like that-no problem. She certainly was not born in Darke Co. According to the research of Wally Garcow (see Jacob"s profile, Pitsenbarger-7) the family was counted in the1810 Fayette Co., Pennsylvania, census. She would have been born in Augusta Co., VA, where her family would have been residing in 1768/9.

What do you think? Does this appear to be the same person as my Margaret Butcher-1349?
