Jefferson-2825 and Jefferson-1080 do not represent the same person because: apart from the name, there isn't any comparitive detail; different spouse, different children, different dates.
posted by Norm Gray
Jefferson-2605 and Jefferson-1080 appear to represent the same person because: same wife, born c1821 according to census returns
posted by Hilary Clark
Agree. In spite of inadequate sources on Jefferson-2605 profile (since corrected) approval pending.
