It is correctly stated that On July 4, 1869, 22 year old Matilda married Robert F. Stafford, but when you click his link it goes to Robert E Stafford. They were cousins. She was not married to Robert Earl Stafford.

Brazil-131 and Brazil-256 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same names, the same dates of birth and death, and the only difference is that 256 is connected to her own family (Stafford), and 131 needs that connection established.
