Judah died in 1663. Friends Records of Newport[2] reports:
Judah Brown the son of Chad Brown of Providence in the Colony of Rhode Island he dyed at Newport and was buried in the place given by Thomas Clifton upon 16 d: 3 mo: 1663.
The Friends calendar started in March, so the third month would be May. The Chad Brown Memorial indicates he died unmarried on May 10, 1663.[1]
Research Notes
The Chad Brown Memorial[1] indicates Chad and Judah are one and the same. Friends Records of Newport[2] and [3] indicates these two different people.

Agreed, I added sources and explanatory text. Seems safe to assume Chad Brown Memorial is either wrong or unproven that these 2 are same. Add research notes and inline links. I removed the merge request.
Well, same parents, so believe as sibling. As to being the same person, the evidence looks quite thin. Really, we have only same death year ( one is missing month and day ).
This, to me, should at least wait until after merging of "siblings" with the SAME first name before we seriously consider doing this. I see that these two -- sort of -- are both Judah. We need to make more sense of 8085, with perhaps an explanatory note in the bio, after we deal with any easier cases, yes?
We have two Judahs, two James's, two Johns, two Daniels, and three Jeremiahs !!!
Brown-8085 and Brown-7544 appear to represent the same person because: This was set to not ready to be merged. Not sure why. But same name, same DOD, same parents, not apparent reason not to merge.
It seems to me that absent seriously differing details, merging of duplicate firstnames in the same nuclear family should be almost mechanical, and rare valid exceptions prominately noted.

This atomic family has had 1 John, 1 Chad, 2 Judah's, 2 Daniels, 2 James's, and 3 Jeremiahs.
To me, the identification with or replacement by Chad should not delay the easy lifting of merging the duplicated names.
