Manley-469 and Manley-243 do not represent the same person because: Email sent to Ellen Smith as to William Manley's marriage to Rebecca Brooks 6 8 2017 Patricia O'Donnell Kavanagh-267

Manley-469 and Manley-243 appear to represent the same person because: William Manley married Phebe Brooks, per The Great Migration, Vol. 1, page 410. The unsourced profile, which was mistakenly connected to Rebecca Brooks, should be merged to the Manley-243 profile.

William Manley married Phebe Brooks, not Rebecca. I'm swapping out the spouses and I'll propose a merge.

I see that my brother and I are listed on your page as tested DNA members. I am stuck with William Manley, b. 1643. I searched all your information and I do not see that you mention Gedmatch. I checked your #181005 and put a "T" in front of it. Is this correct?

This Manley & Manley-469 seem to be different people. This Manley may be the son of George Manly but Manley-469 is not. Apparently there is a lot of confusion about William Manleys in Boston. According to the book Manley Family New England & New York, there are 4 people with that name at about the same time in Boston.

I have subsequently learned from the book Manley Family New England & New York by Henry S Manley (1965) on page 17 section titled A Confusion Of Williams, that there were 4 Williams that lived in Boston within 20 miles of each other. William of Weymouth it turns out was not George's son, William Manley known as "The Paver" is the son of George. Therefore I will be deleting William of Weymouth. I have seen the confusion of these two men elsewhere and others have deleted William of Weymouth.

Manley-1128 and Manley-469 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles represent the same person, though I am not certain of parents of William MANLEY (!643-1717).

I believe that William is my maternal 8th great grandfather.

Manley-209 Jim Manley Ph.D
Seems to have a brother of the same name born two years earlier (Manley-469). Both married a Brooks, here, Phebe, 469, Rebecca. Both died in Mass; one in 1717, the other in 1732. Should these be merged? If so, how account for the differences?
