>>>dups with same parents and same husband and same son John. There is a 2 year difference in the death fields. However one profile has reasearch notes which acknowledge there is a disputer or unproved death date AND it actually mention the 12 Jan 1684 death date that is on the other profile. So both these profiles are trying to indicate the same individual. After the merge is done, a note can be added that

a death source is needed. Thanks

I can't find any mention of Jane's death anywhere. In husband John Davis' will written 1 April 1685 and proved 25 May 1686, he names "his beloved wife Jane Davis" coexecutor along with son James. Also mentions mentions giving certain lands and house to James and son John "after the decease of my wife." Maybe best just to give Jane's death date as Aft. 1 April 1685.

I agree that these 2 profiles represent the same person but she was not born in Massachusetts and the date of death has not been proved. Therefore, I can't right now, approve this merge.

Peaslee-260 and Peaslee-166 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same parents and same husband and same son John. There is a 2 year difference in the death fields. However one profile has reasearch notes which acknowledge there is a disputer or unproved death date AND it actually mention the 12 Jan 1684 death date that is on the other profile.
