Death in Missouri came from Find a Grave that no longer has the death date, gravestone or anything else, so it is not reliable, especially since the death date has been removed. The Death date should be removed from this profile, since there is no source
The Find a Grave has links to many of the family members and has a list of the children for each wife, although it is unsourced. The proposed merge profile has the missing children from this profile.
