Unknown wives of George need to be merged into the lowest Unknown [closed]

Here's the  Original question   As a follow-up to George Siple-14 and his numerous children and wives, it looks like George came from a gedcom that got a little too excited.  Currently he has 5 wives and 35 children.  It looks like he actually had 2 wives and around 12 children.  I've added a bunch of census sources and one marriage source to his profile.  His unknown-unknown wives need to be merged with Rebecca Unknown Siple (all going into the lowest unknown).  Can someone please get some merges started?  And if anyone can find another marriage source for George and Rebecca Unknown -- that would be terrific.

I think I would ask Paul to delete all of the Unknown Unknown Children as they have no information. I would do the same for the Unknown Unknown wives. Why merge an Unknown Unknown  to another Unknown Unknown When you will ultimately wind up with 1 Unknown Unknown.  Am I missing something? It looks like all of the information has been extracted from the profiles and put in their proper place.
I had a quick look at this profile last night and also agree with two wives - but maybe at least one of the children could have been out of wedlock? I didn't really delve into this because it looked like George's Father could possibly be a George too so complicated matters a bit - Didn't help also with Mary also using Ann and the surname being mis-spelt need to find the 'correct' spelling but think the profile is looking a bit better
Found a marriage to Rebecca Lennox I'll see if I can find it again
Good thoughts, Loretta.  I hadn't even thought that way  but of course  that is obviously better than a bunch of merges  

Heather  I'm leaning toward George's father being Jacob. That is awesome if you really found a marriage record.

Thanks
Yeah, I got something right for a change.  lol

I thought it was a trick question...  lol  but oh wow what a mess that profile is.

Couldn't find the marriage but found this I'll keep looking though http://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-675S-BDR

Excellent.  A lnab.  Great work
Should all these Unknown Unknowns just be orphaned and added to the 'Recycle Unknowns' Category to be used later, as opposed to deleting them or merging them all in to one Unknown profile?

Daniel -- I have detached the wife Unknowns from George, which I also think is a better decision than merging.  This is why I shouldn't do genealogy late at night.  Glad I didn't start the merges. They are not orphaned as they have a profile manager.  It is up to him to decide what to do with them.

Heather -- great.  I'll add it to the profiles under See also:  You can add these yourself when you find them, btw.
Can't due to 'privacy' no edit for children - Unknown unknown
