Burgess-6333 and Burgess-5494 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly both profiles are for the same person. However, it is not clear is Mary Jane became a "Burgess" through marriage or through family. Or perhaps Mary Jane Burgess married a Burgess and then married Alonzo Fortner (or the other way around). For now, I'd recommend the merge and figure out the husbands later.
