Colbert-701 and Unknown-312040 appear to represent the same person because: These two appear to be duplicates and need to be merged. Please approve and merge if appropriate. Spouse and dates are the same.
Considering the practice for Virginia at the time,* Colbert is the surname of Hope's husband after William Fergason died (from his profile: "The last Will and Testament of W.m FERGUSON dec.d was presented in Court by Hope COLBERT late Hope FERGUSON the Ex.x therein app.d who made Oath thereto and being proved by the Oath of the Wit.s thereto is admitted to Record.")
* In working with Dutch records, I learned that women frequently retained their maiden name in official documents. There's no indication that this should apply in this case, so Colbert-701 should be merged away into Unknown-312040.
Unknown-312040 and UNKNOWN-105724 appear to represent the same person because: I just proposed a merge for the dupicate profiles of her husband. Since her maiden name is not known, she should have the LNAB of "Unkown" (just initial cap, not all cap, per WikiTree guidelines). Please merge. Thanks!
