Janney-396 and Janney-359 appear to be duplicates and I have proposed a merge. Difference in birth date is probably due to the interpretation of "4th month" in the year 1710. Should be June. I have not seen a source for the middle name Stacy so that can be dropped. Otherwise these two people look like a clear duplicate.
