Are there two Sybil Pattersons?

Question

Something is totaly wrong here. Green in "Epitaths" indicates that Sybil is the sister of Betsy Patterson. This Sybil died before her first husband Ephraim Brown, why would she re-marry? The other |Sybel died in 1799. I do not doubt that this Sybil exists nor do I doubt her marriage to Ephraim Brown, but I suspect she is not the wife of the |Joshua Davis to whom she is linked here.

I should clarify.  Joshua is married to two Sybil Pattersons.  At first I assumed they were a duplicate and needed to be merged.  Looking into the second one (listed above) I just think she needs to be disconnected.

Answer 1

Here are the 2 Sybil's, different parents.  Joshua's wife b. 1774, daughter of Nicholas.  Ephraims wife, b. 1747, likely daughter of James.  I would just disconnect the one born in 1747, from Joshua.

In your question, you indicate that Joshua married 2 Sybil's.  I believe that is incorrect, after Sybil died in 1799,  he married Betsey Patterson, likely Sybil's sister noted below.

Correct, Joshua did not marry two Sybils, that's just what was showing on Wikitree.  I've disconnected the alternate Sybil.  Thank you.
