Gregg-646 and Gragg-56 are not ready to be merged because: Gragg-56 has unsupported and incorrect dates and information. It seems this Gragg is confused with Robert Gregg, Sr. as he is the Gregg that died in 1796. Robert Gregg, Jr died in 1832. In all my research I have never seen him with a listed middle name "John", BUT Robert Jr did have a son named Robert John Gragg. Once these incorrect items are corrected, it can be reviewed again for a merge.

Gragg-287 and Gragg-373 are not ready to be merged because: Date of death does not match. No source documentation has been found. Other than that everything else seems to be a match.
