Muskett-23 and Muskett-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates, same locations, same person

LNAB should be Matchet, evidently misstranscribed in earlier accounts. See note as bottom of page 232. (subscription)

Musket-3 and Muskett-1 appear to represent the same person because: Musket-3 has a different birth date, but there are no sources and someone may have 'assumed' birth year, based on marriage date, which was her 2nd.

They are both showing marriage to Thomas Rix
