Rowlett-326 and Rowlett-56 appear to represent the same person because: The family relationships for Rowlett-326 have been removed. Dates match, biography matches; however there is no explanation for the info on the Berry Family on the profile of Rowlett-326.

I read the info on the profile linked in the info and it doesn't mention anyone named Prudence Rowlett. It seems this profile was created in error. Please merge to improve our family tree.
