Thanks, Michael. I am a direct descendant of Mary. I do have Mary Ann and Silvanus as her children, but I haven’t entered them yet. Also have several other children for them.

Mary and I are direct decendants of Benjamin Mean, She is my 1st cousin 6x removed.

You have different info regarding the children. You have Sarah Ferris Morgan, and you don't have Mary Ann, and Silvanus. I wouldn't merge until these discrepancies are resolved. Thanks, Mike Ferris.
