Wilder-1616 and Wilder-388 appear to represent the same person because: Death dates are different but obviously same person. Same wife and same approximate birth date and locations.

The text in the bio and the FindAGrave link are both for Gardner Wilder. The wife listed in the bio is Gardner's wife's name - not James. Gardner has another profile - Wilder-388.

If this should truly be James, there is a dup profile for him as well: Wilder-498. Either way, a merge will be required for him.

Wilder-388 and Wilder-852 appear to represent the same person because: information is similar enough to take a deeper look and make a decision.

Wilder-388 and Wilder-497 appear to represent the same person because: same parents and birthdate, need to document differences or validate correct birthdate.

This person has incorrect parents. He was born after both of the parents had died. Maybe is a grandchild?
