Again I say that there is no hard proof here, but very often there isn't when doing genealogy research. If it were easy, three-quarters of the women in the US would be members of the DAR. (Daugofers if the American Revolution) Note all the names each person used for whatever reason. It is particularly bad in Canada where they used Aliases, dit names, and maybe a dozen different spellings for the same name.
