Leger-741 Loretta (Leger) Corbin
This is a good question. I show they had 2 daughters named Nancy, Mayes-1524 and Mayes-885.

Both should have more research.

Mayse-11 and Mays-618 are not ready to be merged because: Nancy's father needs a merge completed and His mother needs to be merged, Then we can merge Nancy.

Several merges need to be completed before I can approve Mays-618 and Mayse-11,

Merge of her father and his mother need to be completed first.
