Robinson-1606 and Robinson-433 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same people, but I am unsure of the unsourced children on Robinson-1606.

Working on these profiles again. The unsourced children, James and Lucy do not belong to James Robinson who married Elizabeth Fite.

Robinson-19994 and Robinson-433 appear to represent the same person because: The spouse, siblings, and most of the children are the same. Same birth and death dates. Please take a look at these two profiles and if you agree that they are the same man, please merge them. Merges will also need to be done for the correct duplicated children.
