DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sarah:

Scott-46987 and Scott-163 are not ready to be merged because: These two profiles are clearly duplicates. But they have different women named Sarah Gridley as their mothers (and those two profiles are not duplicates of one another). Once it is determined which Sarah Gridley is her mother, these two profiles can be merged.

I agree, Ed. But they can't be merged until it's decided which is the correct profile for her mother, Sarah Gridley. See the "Research Notes" section on each of the profiles for her mother: Sarah (Gridley) Scott (1736-1816) and Sarah Gridley (1737-1816). One shows that her mother's parents were Jeremiah Gridley and Abigail Lewis. The other says that her mother's parents were Samuel Gridley and Abigail Sharpe. After spending some time comparing the documentation for Gridley-580 and Gridley-52, I'm inclined to believe the Gridley-52 profile looks more likely. Gridley-580 has no siblings. Her parents seem to have had only the one child, and I see very little evidence tying the parents to one another or to the child. Her birth was recorded in Boston, rather than Roxbury specifically. In that birth record her parents were Jeremiah and Abigail Gridley, although her "father" was apparently known as Jeremy. I found no evidence of a marriage between Jeremiah Gridley-581 and Abigail Lewis-47093 except for "Family Tree".

Thanks Kay. Then perhaps the solution is to remove sarah gridley as spouse in both profiles and then merge and then edit both sarah gridley profiles accordingly. Since it is unsure either a Sarah LNAB Unknown or Gridley-52 uncertain could be spouse and children's mother with appropriate research note. What do you think? The point is we cant be really certain who a mother is unless the record gives her LNAMotherhood.I dont like trees as sources. However sometimes there is no other freely available source such as seems to be the case for Scottish and some states of the USA and probably other countries. I would therefore like there to be an option called something like Commercial and family tree sources and for it to be impossible to put those sources as sources. Wikitree would then have freely available sources and when no freely available sources commercial and family tree sources. Since I have yDNA matches to descendants of a Robert Mann who emigrated to Virginia (now USA) i started following them to find at least one freely available source for each one but trying to find freely available sources of them in the various states was impossible and i had to unfollow since there were so many profiles and most had no freely available source. Before i got back to wikitree seriously i had all my trees on a PAF file. None had any source except personal hearsay.
