Arnett-1522 and Arnett-373 are not ready to be merged because: We have a challenge here; these two men have the exact same birth and death dates, but each have different parents and different spouses. Clearly, the data is wrong for one or both of them.

Arnett-1522 and Arnett-373 do not represent the same person because: These are two different Davids with related parents.

Smith-32867 Jillaine Smith
But we need to resolve the vitals; they both have the same birth and death dates. That can't be possible if they were two different men.

YES! I have tried to figure out the dates but haven't found a good source. Some of the Magoffin County Historical Society books have both born the same year (not same day) and one says 'he died about the same time as his father' with no date. I am hoping someone has more information. Perhaps G2G?
