Finley-1429 and Finley-1388 appear to represent the same person because: There is a Jane Finley Farley b 1755-60 in York County, Pennsylvania, DAR registtered, according to some notes I discovered from unknown source. However, This Jane could be a cousin, or perhaps this or the later one is the wrong generation. Anyway, it seems best to work from one file for now.
