I agree that Bush-1062 and Whitman-2647 are the same person.

Whitman-2647 has an incorrect LNAB of Bush, but should be Whitman, daughter of John and Ann Whitman, according to: Genealogies of Long Island Families, Volume I, From The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Selected and Introduced by Henry B. Hoff; Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1987; Thomas and Richard Brush of Huntington, Long Island, Pages 197 & 217-218; Contributed by Conlin Mann, Member of the Publication Committee; Copy Right Genealogy.com, October 21, 2002.

Bush-1062 and Whitman-2647 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person. Bush-1062 needs her LNAB changed to Whitman. Then we can merge

Bush-1062 and Whitman-2647 do not represent the same person because: Mother;s LNAB is incorrect it is Whitman not Bush and have asked PM Tom Quick to correct then will asked for merge 780 to 537.
Whitman-2647 and Bush-1062 appear to represent the same person because: maiden name is wrong on bush , Brush

No. There are sources with the fact he had two wives and the name of the mother of the last three is given. Someone is looking for a source for Sarah Jamison Sexton as the grandmother of granddaughter who married Nathainel Hart. The maiden name of this Sarah was Whitman who married 1. Edward Brush. Have sources on her profile. Have requested the PM of this profile change LNAB so can have clean merge. Sharon

I wonder if anyone has sources for Charles' wife? Rogers family has Sarah Jamison as a wife, and mother of Ester Sexton Rogers (1716). Could the Sarahs be the same?
