I'm sorry, I meant to say I agree with Carole Taylor that Norris-10293 and Norris-5747 seemed to be the same person, it looks like they were merged.
I also believe Norris-5747 and Norris-13241 are the same person. Thank you

Thanks for your input and interest in this profile. This Benjamin Bradford Norris is my 2x6 cousin. As I told Carole, if the 1776 project wants to manage this profile, they can request access, or she can add them if she is part of that project.
If the 1776 project does not have the interest and bandwidth for this profile, there is little point in putting it under project management. Norris was a Bush Declaration and a fine local citizen, but he is not especially notable or renowned in history so far as I have been able to find. It's not 1776 practice to manage all profiles of American Revolutionary patriots without a particular reason for project management.
