Gaither-1283 and Gaither-4 are not ready to be merged because: These two profiles are linked to the same wife. Please add more detailed sources to Gaither-1283, specifically a source for the date of birth to assist in clarifying if they are different people. Also more work needed to confirm if they both married Jane (Buck) Gaither (abt.1683-abt.1719) or if only one of them did. Thanks so much!
