Kendall-2484 and Kendall-224 appear to represent the same person because: these appear to be the same. further clarification on James' death date is need are they based on the same source or perhaps did he die in 1824 and and his probate wasn't completed until 1826. Is one date "before this date" and the other "after this date"?

Kendall-1308 and Kendall-224 appear to represent the same person because: Should these be merged?
