Webb-2630 and Webb-1818 appear to represent the same person because: same parents and birth

This is the only one using Boone (his mother's maiden name). His son isn't using Boone. Maybe there are other profiles not attached using Boone?
The middle name Boone on this profile is an artifact of someone trying to keep track of all the John Webbs in this family. All of his Quaker records have no middle name.
