Harrison-18539 and Harrison-900 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, there was only one son named Robert

Benjamin Harrison IV did not marry Elizabeth Burwell. That was his mother.

Harrison-4362 and Harrison-900 appear to represent the same person because: if these two represent brothers, with one died young, their birth years are reversed. If they are intended to be the same person, please merge. Thanks!
