    Elizabeth Waugh-646 lists children that appear to be duplicates of the children of George and wife Mary (Fowke) Mason.

    IF and AFTER all the children of Waugh-646 are unlinked as children of hers and then linked to their proper parents, and duplicates of the children merged, THEN Waugh-717 (Elizabeth Waugh, wife of George of this profile) could be merged with Waugh-646.
