Davison-1901 and Davison-102 do not represent the same person because: On further research, these two profiles represent two different Hannah's - one the daughter of Thomas, who then married Jedediah WIlliams; the other the daughter of Jonathan, who then married Joseph Witter Jt. therefore the merge is rejected. I have added church and vital record sources to the respective profiles, where previously there had been no sources.
