Hi Dodie,

Philip Huff did have a son George Huff, but that George died in 1839 in Muskingum County, and his wife was Elizabeth Wine. Here's his findagrave profile: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=77688322

Would it be simpler (1) to change the wife and the birth and death information on this profile (and also disconnect Acquilla), or (2) to just disconnect the parents and do the merge?

Huff-2298 and Huff-840 are not ready to be merged because: Researching into parents before merge to ensure a disconnect does not have to happen.

Huff-2298 and Huff-840 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death years; same wife; same son Aquilla. But I doubt Philip Huff was his father.
