Shaw-28279 and Shaw-1296 appear to represent the same person because: These profiles appear to be duplicates and should be merged into the lower profile number. Thanks

This is one of many recurring names in the Shaw family tree. I am calling this Samuel SR and another later Jr if you have middle names that will help

Shaw-1635 and Shaw-1296 appear to represent the same person because: They were both married to Mary Nixon and the approximate birth year matches. The will in Shaw-1635 mentions a son Joseph, who is listed as a son of Shaw-1296.
