Proper last name at birth should be Wentworth, not Fenno. Fenno was mother's maiden name.

Marland-3 Laura (Marland) Harlow
Fenno-116 and Wentworth-69 appear to represent the same person because: Last name at birth is Wentworth (Fenno is mother's maiden name). These are the same children and are listed in the Wentworth Genealogy book (which is sourced for the Fenno profile) as Wentworth. They should be merged into the Wentworth profile since that is the correct last name at birth.
