Williams-5004 and Williams-908 appear to represent the same person because: They were actually lists twice under the same wife -- they were a repeat.

Williams-42730 and Williams-908 appear to represent the same person because: Same wife's name, and the wife was born around the same time, almost the same marriage date (off by one digit). The birth years are different, but no birth source is given on either profile and the one on Williams-908 is marked uncertain -- presumably just a guess. IF this gravestone

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81102675/john-williams#view-photo=62632177

is for the same man and has valid information, then 1709 is the better estimate. Overall, seems a clear duplicate.
