Sanders-9438 and Sanders-9228 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles for Decatur James Lee "Dick" Sanders and Decader J. Sanders are the same person and need to be merged. His name appears in the book, "The Sanders Family of Edmonson County, Kentucky" as Decatur James Lee Sanders with the nickname of "Dick." He was the son of Samuel Sanders and Eleanor Morgan. I hope you will agree with this merger. Thanks. Barry Downs
