Furry-28 and Forry-132 appear to represent the same person because: These two men are both married to the same woman. The surname was probably spelled a variety of ways in the 18th century. Probably Forrer in France originally? The birthdate from Forry-132's Find A Grave record is probably the best we can do. Once these are merged, then children should be merged.
