Mansfield-725 and Mansfield-373 appear to represent the same person because: Please agree to merge these duplicate profiles. Thank you! Donald Lines Jacobus' Families of Ancient New Haven, page 1138 indicates there was only one daughter by the name of Lydia Mansfield who was born in 1702. She did not have a sibling who died in 1703.

Mansfield-725 and Mansfield-373 do not represent the same person because: The birth date for the short lived sister should be earlier. It was extremely common to re-use the name of a dead infant for the next baby of the same sex. I have no proof, but I think this is overwhelmingly more likely.
