Broom-485 and UNKNOWN-34546 appear to represent the same person because: It is unknown what the maiden name of Rachel, who married Samuel Henry was. See notes in the profile, of Broom-485

UNKNOWN-34546 and Broom-485 are not ready to be merged because: From FamilySearch Profile page His familysearch profile page now has another wife and more kids. Some of the kids are duplicates to the children he already has listed with his 'first' wife, Rachel Marie (Broom) Henry. Dates are all conflicting too, so something is messed up. Maybe 2 Samuels are being mixed up together? This will require some more researching!

Rachel Elizabeth Hickman is listed as the wife of Samuel, as well as Rachel Broom. Both are given the same dates of birth and death. Ancestry.com indicates that Rachel Hickman died in Tennessee, in 1801, the same year as Rachel Broom, but that she was born in 1740 and married Major Hugh Henry 1756-1838: https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/rachel-hickman-24-2498tps

Here is the Find A Grave of Major Hugh Henry: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5255779/hugh-henry. He, apparently married two women named Mary. Not sure how much credibility to give to Find A Grave. In the meanwhile, I am going to propose a new merge of Rachel "Broom" with Rachel "Unknown," and list Broom as an additional last name for Rachel Unknown until marriage records can be found.
