I just merged two profiles of Hannah Merwin - clearly was the same woman based on the data in common, but her father was either John or Miles. These are currently unmerged matches - PMs should take a look and see if they can reconcile the differences.
According to "The Holbrook Family of Derby, Connecticut", p. 7, "He mar. Nov. 20, 1683, Hannah Merwin, b. Nov. 15, 1667, dau. of Miles Merwin, Sr. ; and (2d) Sarah (Platt) Beach."
According to "The Platt Lineage: A Genealogical Research and Record", page 19, "Martha, daughter of Miles Merwin and Sarah Platt (widow Beach) born January 23 1666, married James Prime, son of James, Sept. 20, 1685. Mary, twin sister of Martha, married Mr Hull. Hannah, third daughter, born Nov. 6, 1667 married Abel Holbrook, Dec. 20, 1683. Deborah fourth daughter ..."
Merwin-29 and Merwin-22 appear to represent the same person because: Exact same DOB and mother but father is not the same. Let's figure out who the Real father is...thank you.
Seems like a lot of Platts marrying several Merwins, so maybe that is the source of confusion.
