Van Deventer-1200 and Van Deventer-162 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same birthdate, same child

According to the notes in this profile, he had a son Jacobus/James in 1713. Because of the project protection I can't add this son. I ASSUME the Jacobus mentioned in the following source is this one born in 1713:
1794 Virginia Court Reports
From District Court of Winshester. Pendleton v Vandevier
JOHN VANMETER, Will 13 August 1745, died prior to September 1745.
Issue, two children: Abraham Vanmeter, who has issue; Madgalena born 1744, married and has issue a daughter, Prudence, born 1744, died 1769, and a son who died in infancy.
Jacobus Vandevier had son James Vandevier. Their connection with Vanmeter is not shown.
Virginia Wills

Found these stats online: Jacobus 'James' Van Deventer 1713–1780 BIRTH 15 AUG 1713 • New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA DEATH 20 FEB 1780 • New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA His son: James Van Deventer 1764–1855 BIRTH 12 APR 1764 • New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA DEATH 18 NOV 1855 • Livingston County, New York, USA

Primary of the source is Jan (Joosten) Van Meter

Hi,

The merge is approved for both and the LNAB for this one looks to be ok and according the baptism record, but the problem is the other one is PPP't still as well, so they can't be merged now.

Greets and have a wonderful weekend,

Bea :)

Vandeventer-146 and Van Deventer-162 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse and date of birth. They also have a matching source. Vandeventer-146 needs merged into Van Deventer-162 since Van Deventer is the correct LNAB. Van Deventer-162 should be the surviving profile.
