Council-177 and Council-18 appear to represent the same person because: I was working the Data Doctor Spread Sheet with the error code of Hint 409: Marriage to duplicate person and found this duplicate. Names, dates, locations, and relationships appear to be very similar or the same.

Unknown-169172 and Council-18 do not represent the same person because: = Merge Notes = Wil May Oct 24, 2016

Rather than merge this 'unknown' record into James Council, I located 2 additional sons of John Council and Josie Willis. Converting this to Jesse Council per Hodges council family genealogy document. Need to change born last name to Council
