Hensley-1154 and Hensley-555 appear to represent the same person because: Hensley-555, Hensley-1154 and Hensley-3385 all appear to the profile of George Washington Hensely, who was born about 1820 in NC, who lived in Harlan Co, KY, and who married twice: first to Sarah Noe, then to Sarah Lewis. His date of death is uncertain. No source has been cited to support either date.

When there are multiple profiles for the same person, all of the duplicates should be merged into the profile with the lowest number, namely Hensley-555. See Help:Merging for more information: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging#Merging_multiple_duplicates

Hensley-3385 and Hensley-1154 do not represent the same person because: There appears to be three profiles for George Washington Hensley -- so they should all be merged into the profile with the lowest number, namely Hensley-555. The avoids creating multiple page re-directs+. See Help:Merging for more information: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging#Merging_multiple_duplicates

I will propose new merges for both of these profiles to be merged into Hensley-555.
