I removed a previous comment because you inherited this dupe from Spurlock via Doug Younger, if I interpret this correctly, and now you are faced with a lot of merges. "You may wish to edit it ..." is an understatement, I feel your pain.

This is a different James A. Smith and he wasn't married to Mary Slaton. Our Mary married James A. Smith, son of Larkin Smith.

Like I said, this came via Younger and Spurlock, but I meant the "dupe" as the name James A Smith, not the actual profile. I should not have mentioned merges in this context.
