Rayment-141 and Raymond-499 appear to represent the same person because: All other information is or nearly is identical. In the documents I've found so far, the spelling is Rayment, Raymont, Raiment and Raymond seem to be interchanged, sometimes within the same document. Likely do to the original scribe or a subsequent transcriber error. I do not KNOW the original name as yet, but most of the information I've found to date points toward Rayment as being the correct name. I merely proposed the merge this way because Raymond-499 was in the tree first, and I suspect that the author of Rayment-141 did not recognize a close match.
