This profile needs improvement. The date of birth of 1680 can't be right. He would be 126 years old in 1766. Or the date of death is wrong. This ancestor is very difficult to research. Would love any help any of you wikitreers can offer.
Long-9377 and Long-7529 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. The late birth abt 1680 makes more sense, given the late marriage and late death. Thanks!
