Harris-16026 and Harris-5950 are not ready to be merged because: Parents are duplicate and that issue needs to be resolved by profile managers. Then this merge can proceed.

Harris-16026 and Harris-5950 appear to represent the same person because: Lenora (Harris) Burks and Lenora Harris are the same, The "Find a Grave" source given on both profiles, points to the married name as being Burks not Burke. Also the date of death should be 1805 not 1850. Everything else matches.
