You have Samuel's father (Jesse) listed as both his father and his half brother. This error occurs because you list Mary Ann Hitt as Jesse's first wife. She was not his first wife, she was Jesse's mother. Jesse's first wife is unknown. Please correct.

I have tried to follow your comments but not successfully. On examination, Mary Ann Hitt is Jacob Rector's wife. Perhaps you should diagram the Rectors to make it more clear to me!

I was able to get it corrected by the profile manager for Mary Ann Hitt. Thank you for your efforts and patience.

Rector-1329 and Rector-425 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same Samuel Rector

Jesse Rector was Samuel Rector's father; however, Mary Ann Hitt was Jesse's mother. So she couldn't be Samuel's wife. She is his paternal grandmother. Samuel is the son of Jesse Rector and his first wife, who is currently unknown.
