DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nelson by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nelson:

Here is a little research I did.......The fathers are definitely different men, this one's father lived his entire life in Pennsylvania and was the son of a Patriot. https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_descendants/?action=list&MyPrimary_Seqn=726837&MyLineageCount=1 I think the sources for a man in Ohio, actually belong to the other profile. The father on the other profile migrated to Ohio.

Dye-144 and Dye-118 appear to represent the same person because: duplicate
posted by Alicia (Laski) Hunt
Dye-144 and Dye-118 are not ready to be merged because: No, parents and dates are all different. This could be an error on one or the other, but it would need research to decide if they are really not just two similar men, rather than the same man.

Also, no spouse or children attached to provide any clue.

Thank you for taking on this research, please remember that the unmerged match state should be resolved quickly. Please see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Matching_and_Merging_FAQ#Is_it_ever_OK_not_to_merge_duplicates.3F

Well this is one of those things that just drives me up the wall about arbitrary WikiTree rules that get decided by weak opinion committee somewhere along the way, but often fail to consider much downside to the rule. My inclination is to simply reject this merge, to get out from under the time rush of that rule. But I preferred to simply put it into the Unmerged Match bucket instead, as a reminder that at some point, it is close enough in data to deserve research.

However, if I need to reject and lose that convenient reminder for all eternity, just to comply with a rush rule, then I will do that, and move on to other things instead.

Dye-144 and Dye-118 do not represent the same person because: These are close, but not exact, and the parents are completely different. So a merge would destroy that identity and lineage trail.

One bio mentions a spouse, so the other bio needs research to find out if that other Nelson actually existed.
