Killam-481 and Kilham-46 appear to represent the same person because: same, spelling variation

I cleaned up the text after merge but it appears there is some discrepancy between the two merged records. The birth and death dates were not the same (or even very close).

Can you double check Comfort's birth date? If Comfort is indeed the brother of Amasa there is a problem with this birth date as it is too close to Amasa's. Amasa's birth date has a source and is certain. Thanks.

Killam-257 and Kilham-46 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse. Variation in spelling of Last Name at Birth to be added to the Other Last Name field until a primary source can be added
