Ladd-1125 and Parker-8998 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles represent the 2nd wife of Ephraim Grant. A third profile, Unknown-334465 also is for this same person. All three profiles should be merged into Parker-8998.

Ladd-1125 and Unknown-334465 do not represent the same person because: Superseding this merge with one pertaining to Parker-8998, which should prevail. All three represent the same person.

A clue to the maiden surname of this person (Parker) is found on the Find-A-Grave page for her daughter Eunice Grant: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5639635

Whereas F-A-G postings are not sourced, thus not intrinsically accurate, they may provide a clue on where & how to find probitive data. If/when such data may be discovered, this profile should be edited accordingly.

Ladd-1125 and Unknown-334465 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles describe the 2nd wife of Ephraim Grant. Her maiden surname (LNAB) is not known, so the way to merge is for Unknown-334465 to prevail on the name.

Thanks Jack, I made the correction.

Died in Chelmsford? That does not sound likely, especially if she is buried in Coventry.

Parker-11346 and Parker-8998 appear to represent the same person because: She married twice. Her FaG memorial lists both husbands. Her birth is recorded in Dimock and "Parker In America". She shows up in FamilySearch - if you look for Timothy Ladd 1711-1746. She also shows up if you look for Ephriam Grant 1698-1785. They married in 1747 in Tolland Ct. Esther died in 1760 - she is buried in Coventry.

I am removing the parents of Esther. According to the book listed in the Sources, her name is Mrs. Esther Ladd. Ladd was her married name when she married Ephraim Grant. Her parents are not mentioned. I am also editing the Sources.
