Cushman-2242 and Cushman-252 appear to represent the same person because: I've been trying to trace back history for Julius Cushman (b.1818) and managed to go back to Joshua; they're obviously the same person, just slightly varying recordings (I am going off of HW Cushman's Genealogy); merge?

Cushmann-3 and Cushman-252 appear to represent the same person because: Find a Grave with last name is Cushman not Cushmann

Mary d/o Josiah Soule and Lydia Delano is not the wife of Joshua Cushman and mother of Cushman-411|Joseph Cushman]]. Mary daughter of Joseph is the correct wife of Joshua Cushman. Hearing no objections I will disconnect, and reconnect.
