Collins-10429 and Collins-9688 appear to represent the same person because: John McCaleb was only married once. It seems this was a rejected match previously. If anything, should disconnect Collins-9688 from him as he married a Mary/Polly Maria Collins on July 4, 1805, in Jefferson, Mississippi. As Collins-9688 shows a Maria born in England, this is not his wife. Should either merge them with the details on Collins-10429 as the correct information or remove Collins-9688 as his wife. See also John's father William's bible that has been transcribed, here https://archive.org/details/biblecemeteryrec00birm/page/n5/mode/2up.
