Foster-12791 and Foster-4088 appear to represent the same person because: same name, exact same spouse (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rogers-16820) .. different birth/death years so if these should not be merged then the spouse should be removed from one.

Foster-16076 and Foster-12791 are not ready to be merged because: It appears that Abiel Foster Jr. (record number #12791) may actually be the son of Abiel Foster (record #16076) given the respective birth dates for the two records. As such, I'm not comfortable approving this merge at this time.

His other Child Mary is part of a requested merge and should show up after the merge is complete.
