I went though this profile today and added sources that match the listed children. I wanted to visually look at a completed profile with those kids to se if it made sense. After which I came to the conclusion that they dont.

There is a Thomas who lived in Boston and had eight children all born in Boston: Jacob, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, Nathaniel. He married Sarah Carr. There is a Thomas who lived in Rhode island and had five children all born in Rhode Island: Thomas, Benjamin, James, Comfort and Mary. and married Sarah (unk)

The Thomas who lived in Rhode Island never lived in Boston and never had kids in Boston.

I believe the children and wife on this profile should be removed.

I believe this Thomas should be merged with Baker-53107

If there are no objections I would like to make these changes. I will also correct the sources to reflect the changes. Im going to give it some time before I do this so you can all let me know if im mistaken.

Baker-53107 and Baker-483 are not ready to be merged because: Appears could be same person. Wife on -53107 was recently removed from -483. Parents on -53107 were recently the same as those on -483. Need reliable sources to be added showing differentiation

Baker-53107 and Baker-483 are not ready to be merged because: Reliable sources need to be added to be sure that they both represent the same person. Looking at the comments below (on -483), there were several Thomas Bakers with different sets of children.

This appears to be a dupe of Baker-483, whose wife you detached and added here. What reliable sources do you have for your changes? Remember, FindaGrave is not considered reliable for pre-1700 profiles.

As Eric Daly points out below there are several Thomas Bakers. Three profiles on Wikitree to consider are:

1) Thomas Baker (1638 - 1710) of Rhode Island who married Sarah (LNU):

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baker-483

He was father of five children all born in Rhode Island: Thomas, Benjamin, James, Comfort and Mary.

2) Thomas Baker (1653 - 1719) of Boston, the Blacksmith who married Sarah Carr:

http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Baker-18362

He was father of possibly eight children all born in Boston: Jacob, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, Nathaniel.

3) Thomas Baker (1608 - 1683) of Roxbury who married first Elizabeth (LNU) and second Mary Gamblin:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baker-5804

He had 11 children all born in Roxbury.

A new Rev. Thomas Baker 1638-1710 RI has been created (Baker-53107), with linkage to children Comfort, Benjamin, Thomas, James, and Sarah and not married to Sarah Carr (consistent with consensus information from FamilyTreeDNA Baker members and others posted). I did not create Baker-483, but I attached the children above thinking the conflating information would be resolved. If the remaining Baker-483 linkage belongs to "Blacksmith" Baker-18362, then the creator can reattach that linkage and delete Baker-483, or merge Baker-483 with the new Baker-53107 removing the duplication.
