Dalton-1792 and Dalton-284 appear to represent the same person because: Surely mother is Judith rather than Sarah as Benjamin is born 4 years before David married Sarah Robinson according to his bio.

Downey-1809 Teresa Downey
Dalton-1694 and Dalton-284 appear to represent the same person because: parents and son in process of merge too.

Coop-303 Cheryl (Coop) O'Malley
Dalton-1792 and Dalton-1694 are not ready to be merged because: Not comfortable making this merge - different mother names, siblings have some differences. May be same person but not confident enough to make merge
