Wheeler-572 and Wheeler-2789 do not represent the same person because: See conflict in bio. One says Persis dau. of Jonas and Persis, the other says Persis dau. of Seth Needs resolution. Her brother Seth had a dau. that married a Dickinson, which may be the confused record?

Wheeler-572 and Wheeler-2789 appear to represent the same person because: Two Persis Wheelers in the same family, born and dying the same month and year, make a pretty good case for a merge, I think.. I'll let you pick the death day!
