Morris-2788 and Morris-8907 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents. In Morris-8907 she is connected to her husband's father. She married Benjamin Child-470 not Benjamin Child-37. Her birth date should be 17 FEB 1661.

Propose merge with Morris-8907. Seems to be a simple error.

Grace Morris was married to the Benjamin

Child born in 1656 (Child-470). You presently show her married to his father - the immigrant Benjamin Child who married Mary Bowen.
