Gist-157 and Gist-27 appear to represent the same person because: they are the same. Spouse was merged.

Rose-3370 David Rose
Gist-157 and Gist-27 are not ready to be merged because: Gist-27 appears to combine information from multiple Gists, including Gist-157 and Gist-312. Sources for Gist-27 are not legitimate primary sources and may be propagating misattributions from other sites. In addition, children of Gist-27 are not properly attributed and it is unclear where they should be allocated. Much more research is needed to clean up Gist-27 and primary sources are needed.
