Abernethy-250 and Abernathy-443 appear to represent the same person because: Spelling of surname is Abernathy, however, Abernathy-443 is connected to wrong father. See also: https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A000246

The mothers are the same person and should be merged, however DO NOT MERGE the two Robert Abernathy fathers, since they have separate DAR Ancestor records.
