The merge looks right. We don't know the source for the birth date on Find-a-grave, but it is probably the same source (The Anna Chesebrough Wildey book) as the source I have for Marilla.
Is this your direct Ancestor? If so and if you have a DNA test we could check to see if we have a match. I remember seeings some Jaquays in my mother's DNA matches. Also her last name is Armstrong and she has a few Chesebro ancestors, so she could be related in more than one way.
