Richard-783 and Rickard-53 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. No parent conflicts to prevent a merge. In the early Plymouth records, the family name was definitely Rickard. "Richard" is an alternate spelling (or possibly a misreading of the records).

I am changing Abigail's parents (on Richard-783) from John Rickard and his mother Judith Cogan to Giles Rickard Jr and his wife Hannah Dunham. This makes more sense and it is consistent with sources -- see http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/gen/report/rr05/rr05_038.html#P9997 for a summary.

I changed Abigail Richard (Richard-783) and Abigail Rickard (Rickard-53) from rejected match to unmerged match because I believe they are actually the same person. Parents currently don't match, but Abigail Richard's parents are clearly wrong (because Judith Rickard did not marry her son and have a child with him when she was age 61).
