I'd merge them. The one profile has nothing but marriage and probable parents, the other links up through the marriage and the naming of her as daughter of Joseph, with closer links to her husband and children, and her death. If she had been born in 1740, she would have been only about 15 at the time of marriage -- highly unlikely in that period.
In the absence of records tying her firmly to a particular Joseph Tryon (and wife) perhaps we can use a bit of process of elimination to help confirm (or not) the choice of parents made in the other profile. (Or possibly she was born and/or baptized in one of the nearby towns.)
In the absence of any other evidence, there is a nice 6-year gap between Joseph and Sarah Tryon's eldest (Sarah) and the next child, leaving plenty of room for an Anna born between mid 1732 and mid-1733.
