McMahon-3383 and McMahon-3382 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, DOD, same spouse, AND same profile manager

MacMahon-195 and McMahon-525 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse. Records seem to point the McMahon is the correct spelling of maiden name at least for her generation.

Rick Gardiner

McMachen-7 and McMahon-525 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. McMachen was her father William's birth name which he appears to have Americanized when he came to America. Whether or not he did that before or after Margaret was born is unknown. I suspect merging the profiles either way would be acceptable as long as the other name is included as "other last names".

Frederick County wasn't formed until 1743. Margaret was born in Orange County before her portion of the county was split off into Frederick County.

McMahon-2735 and McMahon-525 are not ready to be merged because: Places of birth are different. I believe the Findagrave info is correct. Need more research if birth date should be different.

McMahon-914 and McMahon-525 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates but need to resolve whether born in Scotland or Ireland.

The source on this profile says born in Scotland, but the profile says Ireland.

The duplicate for Margaret's profile, McMahon-525, shows born in Scotland.

Can this question be resolved and the duplicates merged?
