Kendrick-1739 and Kendrick-775 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate profiles for Mary Kendrick who married John Burks.

This woman is a different Mary, not Mary Kendrick daughter of John Kendrick and Elizabeth Preston, who are two young to be her parents.

John Kendrick was age 9 at the time of this woman's birth. Their daughter Mary Kendrick was born much later, ca. 1755. Mary Kendrick married a different man with a similar name, John Burks, Sr. (1750 - 1826).

Kindrick-1 and Kendrick-775 appear to represent the same person because: Ready to be merged. These two women represent the same profile. Kendrick is by far the most common spelling of the surname.
