Church-7237 and Church-735 appear to represent the same person because: Same person , same parents and spouse. Spouse Elizabeth Swink will also need merged Swink-148 and Swink-76 . Thank you all !

Need merge for this profile Church-7237 with Church-735. And wife Elizbeth Swink will also need merged Elizabeth Swink-148 into Elizabeth Swink-76.

I agree Becky, many Amos Church, but I think Jonathon Watson, manager of Church-7237, has it pretty sorted so far. We would love your help though.

Some of the familysearch.org links take me to profiles for different men of similar names, at least one Census (1790 I think) took me to a page not connected to anyone in the "tree" and the second marriage source is for a woman named Rebecca Davis(?). Given some of this and that this is possibly one of my 5th great grandfathers- I'd like to help work on the profile but didn't begin comparing notes since there isn't anything in the written bio section yet. Please message me if you have some time and would be willing. Thanks! Becky
