Wooden-624 and Woodin-7 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly the same person; Samuel Gaskill, Jr., is currently shown as husband of both.

Wooden-624 is sourced only by a family tree and should be merged into the lower-numbered Woodin-7, which is well-sourced. The family tree should be referenced as a "See also" source, below the primary sources, in the final profile.

Please merge. ( Christopher Childs, direct descendant.)

Woodin-204 and Woodin-7 appear to represent the same person because: Plainly the same person (and an ancestress of mine). Death dates need to be reconciled but the difference may be just Old Style vs. New Style.
