Chipman-1821 and Chipman-932 appear to represent the same person because: When I entered Bethiah Chipman, who married John Smith in 1764, WikiTree gave me zero matches. Once I attached her son John Smith 1769 to her husband John Smith 1729, I saw John 1729 was already connected to a Bethia (Chipman) Smith. My wife is a descendant of Bethiah's youngest child John, who moved to New Hampshire and then New York, where he died in 1846. I would love to merge the two Bethia/Bethiahs. Thank you.
