What is the source for 1717 being the exact year of death?
posted by Betty (Harrell) Gerlack
Smith-62120 Ellen Smith
That appears to have been an AFTER date based on the baptism date for the last child. It came into this profile when a duplicate profile was merged into this one. Often when family trees get imported to WikITree, niceties like BEFORE and AFTER notations do not get imported along with the dates. I removed the date from this profile.

Whittaker-2267 and Whittaker-235 appear to represent the same person because: same person: parents dupl profiles have also been submitted for merge. No conflicts re subject James.
