Shoaf-190 and Shoaf-126 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly meant to represent the same woman -- same birth date & locations can be verified with sources, included historical changes in N. Carolina counties; married to the same man, but the spelling of his last name needs to be clarified -- could have been Anglicized at some point.

There is a mistake. All of these trees are leaving off the oldest daughter of Henry Shoaf SR and Anna Catherine or Christina Sprecher. That oldest daughter was Anna Catherine Shoaf and SHE is the mother of all Michael Leonard/Leonhardt/Lennert/other spellings SR 's children. Shoaf 190 and Shoaf 126 are the same person. She was the 2nd wife of Michael Leonard SR and had no children.

Hi, Patricia! Thanks for all the extra info

Can you bring along the records for the older daughter? We'll then be able to make a profile for her and get this straightened out. :-)

Thanks!

Julie
