I have completed the outstanding merge, however please change the "Last Name at Birth" to be either "Stevens" or "Stephens", not hyphenated, as this would never have been the case in 1700s. I suggest you use the "Other Last Name" field to include the alternate spelling. If you can't locate a source indicating spelling recorded at birth/baptism, probably best to use spelling of father.
Thank you Christine
While Mary here happens to be my 6th great grandmother, I'm unfortunately not a profile manager for her. We'll have to wait for @Bruce or @Jennifer to do that.
I've set a reminder for 30 days from now in case they're inactive/not receiving these notifications.
