Which do you prefer, I can edit to match either. As a long term unconnected profile, he's going nowhere by himself :) Not a single substantive edit to add family since 2016. Cindy
The two Ancestry trees give two possibilities, and there is another profile with different dates that matches his name and locations. I put all three on the profile in the Research Notes. Any leaning towards one of those as the right match?
