Driskell-401 and Driskill-477 appear to represent the same person because: William Elias Driskill is likely Elisha Driskell due to either errors in transcription of historic records, nicknames (William went by Elias), or other errors/confusion. William Elias Driskill is listed as William Franklin Driskill's father on his death certificate. I have added sources found in FamilySearch for William Elias Driskill, Christina Driskill, and William Franklin Driskill that better outline the relationships.
