Ranney-16 and Ranney-15 appear to represent the same person because: same person. Name was originally "John", but birth/death dates are those of Thomas. Switched Ranney-15 to be Thomas as John's record Ranney-17 already exists. Slight chance there was a twin "John" to Thomas that died before John, the younger brother, was born.
