Cobbs-242 and Cobb-3182 appear to represent the same person because: The surname is used interchangeably between Cobb and Cobbs with Cobb being the most common. The profiles have the same birth year; same death location; a son Edmund is named in the will of Cobb-242 and Cobb-3182 has a son Edmund attached to the profile. They appear to be duplicates.
