Ford-4461 and Ford-3125 appear to represent the same person because: Married to the same Nathaniel Thorpe and death dates are the same.

Ford-4492 and Ford-3125 appear to represent the same person because: The birth and death information match, as does the spouse. Her father is definitely Timothy, but I didn't add it to 4492. The children on 4492 look correct per the sources I added to 3125. These are the same person. Please merge.
