I added an unmerged match for Caudill-183 and Caudill-43 because both profiles share the same dates and husband but have different sets of parents. Various internet sites could be used to support either set of parents, but I have not seen compelling evidence either way.

Hi - someone proposed a merge of Caudill-183 and Caudill-43. They have different parents, and Henrietta's marriage to both Benjamin and John Adams is shown as 1744, so I don't see how they can be the same person.

Cheers, Liz
