In the profile section at the top, it states that Michael and Jane Henry were married in Argyleshire, Scotland, but in the bio section it states they were married in Ireland, citing the Henry Genealogy.

Clellan-5 and McClellan-184 appear to represent the same person because: dates are the same. merge should go into McClellan-184
Hi, the second marriage listed here in 1874 is after he died in 1757 according to this profile. Also the first marriage in 1771 is listed as occuring in Scotland, even though it is after he had arrived in New England in 1749. Can these marriages be checked please?

McClellan-873 and McClellan-184 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same spouse, same time frame, same locations. I am afraid I have duplicated the wife and some of the children.
