Robertson-2047 and Robertson-4501 are not ready to be merged because: Thanks for proposing this merge. I can see that Robertson-2047 seems to have originally been created with the dates 1620 - 1708, but much more work needed to sort out relationships with sources for for this profile and the surrounding people before determining how to proceed.

I'm going ahead and separating this William from Eleanor Pitcairn, since this isn't her husband (unless he was 100 at the time he married her and was long dead.)
