King-51703 and King-24070 appear to represent the same person because: They are married to Jane Morehead, were both born c. 1740 in Bladen, NC, and both died at their plantation called Cherry Point in Georgia.

King-51703 and King-24070 do not represent the same person because: King-51703 uses King-24070 as a source (the ONLY source), but they have different death dates and the middle name show in 51703 isn't anywhere in the sources for 24070.
