Carraway-60 and Carraway-100 appear to represent the same person because: Carraway-60 and Carraway-100 are the same people and parents

Richardson-7161 Mary Richardson
Carraway-60 and Carraway-100 do not represent the same person because: Carraway is fully sourced. It has sourced dates in 1790, war of 1812, and 1810, 1820 census showing Carraway-100 living.

These 2 represent the exact same person, which is why the merge was requested. I cannot find any information showing the parents had 2 children with the same name born the same day, married to the same spouse. Your sources did not show this either. Merging the 2 will keep you as a Profile Manager. As your info is sourced, being in charge of that merging will allow you to make sure the correct DOD is put it. As yours is the only one with a biography, your information will be kept. WikiTree is about 1 tree. Without the merging, it messes up family trees for everyone with a direct relationship, which is how I discovered the duplication. My 5th great grandfather is his brother, making him my uncle. I would like to be assured that I am following the correct flow as I add him to my tree. Meanwhile, with 2 of them, that makes it a bit of an impossibility as I have verified there was only 1. Please re-institute merge and make sure profile is kept correct. The rest of us related to the Carraway's would appreciate it.

Thank you, Debra Akin

Carraway-60 and Carraway-100 appear to represent the same person because: Same DOB, same place of birth, same parents, same siblings - no source on DOD.

This is the same person.
