I believe that it is not a good idea to merge these profiles until the marriage date is worked out so that identities of the daughter and mother do not become confused.

Her daughter, Priscilla Rickard Wood, who was born in 1709. The 1733 date for her wedding has to be incorrect. It probably is the date for her daughter, Deborah Rickard. This should be investigated.

Miller-28772 and Miller-27535 appear to represent the same person because: Daughter, husband, similar dates. Other issues exist that will need to be worked out.

I adopted the orphaned Miller-27535 profile after noticing that this seemed to be the same person.

The handwriting on the original record for her marriage to Joseph Richard, 19 Feb 1707, is difficult to read. The last name could be Miller, Millar, or Millan.
