Knickerbocker-299 was merged into Knickerbocker-50.

Knickerbocker-299 and Knickerbocker-50 appear to represent the same person because: Still seems to be a duplicate of John C.

I created Knickerbocker-299 from Dutchess County probate records after wikitree failed to find a matching person. I suspect that Knickerbocker-50 is the same person.
