Kessinger-234 and Kessinger-42 appear to represent the same person because: Unquestionably duplicate profiles for the same man. Minor discrepancies should be addressed in the biography with specific, primary sources (if any) noted. No reason not to merge before collaboration.

Note that Kessinger-234 is Unsourced anyhow.
