Walker-50722 and Ward-9066 do not represent the same person because: 1st wife and 2nd wife?
posted by Elizabeth W
At time of the proposed merge, Baker-50417 was the same as Ward-9066, 1st wife of Samuel Gurley. Unfortunately, Changes Log shows that it was changed completely into Walker-50722 profile which has totally different information than it had before and is now a duplicate of Walker-12231, 2nd wife.lol and now it w

Research Notes have been added to Samuel Gurley-7 profile. Death source for Hannah Gurley who died Apr 19 1756, 1st wife of Samuel Gurley, states her father's name was Nathaniel Baker, not Ward. She cannot be the daughter of Nathaniel Baker and Mary Longbottom, whose daughter Sarah was born Jul 25 1742, which she has been confused with.

"Connecticut, Deaths, 1640-1955", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F7KJ-C9T : 7 February 2021), Hannah Gurley, 1756.

Gurley Genealogy is where it states 1st wife was Sarah Ward. Birth Sources for children show 1st wife was Hannah, not Sarah. Then the Death sources says she was Hannah Baker, unless it was a different Samuel Gurley.

Baker-50417 and Ward-9066 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, same spouse, maiden name is Ward, as seen in source. Baker is unsourced maiden name.
Marriage and children sources state 1st name is Hannah, but Gurley Genealogy states Sarah Ward is 1st wife.
Merge should go into Ward, not Baker.
