Skeels-1594 and Skeels-137 appear to represent the same person because: Here is the merge of the one vague profile with the Sylvester Skeels that has mention of the McQueen commonality.. At the very least merging the profile just gets rid of the vague profile. If later a Lester Skeels does in fact exist, it can be re-created, as no sources are attached..
Skeels-1594 and Skeels-137 appear to represent the same person because: Potentially duplicates. Please merge if they are intended to be the same person. Thanks.
Skeels-1105 is the son of Cephas Skeels-137
Married Eliza Dorcas Loofborough 12 Sep 1839, of Ohio. Datewise does not fit in this family?
