I found mention of Martha on the 1850 Census with the word "Insane" on line 13. I commented on her Spouse's page and decided I'd do a quick dive in to what allowed for this comment during the 1850's in Lawrence, PA and if there were any local facilities since she didn't appear on the 1960 Census- but husband Joseph was 86 by then...just curious if you had any data or were interested in anything I find or even looking with me?

Cheers! Becky Elizabeth Simmons-11603

Philips-2160 and Philips-20 appear to represent the same person because: I messaged about the mother's profile regarding the string of duplicates just created as this should have shown up since all data is exact with the exception of the day on death...butif anyone can help or knows why these profiles weren't caught please advise but for now we have two or more families duplicated and I wanted to catch them before others became confused or started conflating data. Thanks
