Priest-629 and Priest-628 appear to represent the same person because: John Priest was married twice. First to Elizabeth Gray; 2nd to Hannah (Meacham) Gill. His will mentions wife Hannah and his only child Elizabeth (who was daughter of John & Elizabeth)
According to Torrey's NE Marriages, John Priest of salem (-1708) married twice. First to Elizabeth Gray, 2nd to Hannah (Meacham) Gill widow of William. John's estate in 1708 refers to widow Hannah. I've proposed a merge. John who was born in Woburn is from a different family entirely.
I see you say Priest-344 and Priest-628 are not the same person but which one married Hannah (Gill) Priest (Gill-2827)? Currently they both have her listed as their spouse.
Priest-344 and Priest-628 do not represent the same person because: These are two different John Priests. One born in England the other born in Massachusetts
Priest-344 and Priest-628 appear to represent the same person because: It appears that these are duplicates. They have the same approximate birth year and location. Same spouse. If you agree that they are duplicates, please approve the merge.
