Cornell-2266 and Cornell-80 appear to represent the same person because: Likely match. Same name, birth date, location.

Thank you Kelly Sullivan for collaborating the merge of Cornell-80 and Cornell-1118 .
Cornell-80 and Cornell-1118 appear to represent the same person because: I vote for the Born about 1641 in Portsmouth , Rhode Island. There isn't a record for his baptism in England and he wasn't on ship lists. Either way, Joshua needs a source as well.
