Clark-22713 and Fugate-248 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate. First husband was Braxton Clark. Second husband was James Knowles. All data is identical . Her LNAB is Fugate or Smith. Clark is her "current" or married name. Merge should show her LNAB as Fugate, AKA Smith AKA Clark Current last name should be Knowles. Please merge.

I believe her maiden name is Smith. First marriage Clark and second Knowles.
