Matheny-783 and Matheny-466 appear to represent the same person because: Trying to research this line off another of Mine. Think according to others research I have connections to this family. Seems to be a few Reubens and Samuels floating around but with familysearch and etc. seems to be the line im looking for according to what i can find this far back in docs. Connected to Mathenys a few different ways LOL.

Matheny-466 and Matheny-689 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge they were Rejected for some reason, they need merging so we don't have a zillion duplicate Matheny branches.... note SAME BIRTH & SAME WIFE.... Same Person ;)

Matheny-36 and Matheny-689 appear to represent the same person because: this needs Merging, there are WAY to many duplicates connected to the Matheny Family & we need to clean them up, this is one of them, since there was only 1 son named William & he died on that date listed on Both but in Augusta [pension records] OR Rockingham co VA... they lived on the Co line by what is now Weyers Cave/ Grottoes area...
