There are several claims about where and when Edward was born; we seek reliable sources for each of them
That Edward Sizemore (1778-1856) was son of George Sizemore and Agnes (1750-1839) is supported by Edward's death record which names them.[1] On the same page is Edward's sister Winnie (Winifred) who had married a Begly. (1750–1822)
Edward is said by some,[citation needed] to have been half Cherokee Indian. If that were true, one of his parents would have had to have been full-blood.
In 1807, he was listed on the Clay Co., Ky Tax List.[citation needed]
In 1810, Edward was enumerated in Clay County, Kentucky.[2] On the same page is a John Sizemore.
In 1811, he was listed on the Clay Co., Ky Tax List.[citation needed]
In 1820, Edward was still in Clay County, Kentucky.[3]
In 1840, he should be in Perry County, but he is not listed as a head of household there.[4]
In 1850, Edward was enumerated without a last name just after his son-in-law Benjamin Grigsby and daughter Winifred in household #135, page 424, image 639 of 661[5]
Two children born in Tennessee 1795-1796; one child unknown birth 1798; Four children born Virginia 1799-1803; Six children born in Clay County, Kentucky (1805-1816).[citation needed]
See the Find-A-Grave link below for photographs of a Ned Sizemore and an Owen Sizemore (who may or may not be this Ned Sizemore as photography was not in common use until far later).
One source[citation needed] shows him having a brother named Owen and another brother Reverend George J. Sizemore
The Find-A-Grave memorial appears to have conflated two Edwards; it has Edward married to Annie B. Baldwin 1786 – and a son Owen O. Sizemore 1829 – 1902. This appears to be for a different Edward Sizemore.
It also has spouse Martha Patty Fields 1782 – wit a child Isaac Newton Sizemore 1808 – He did live 35 more years after death of Louanna.
And a spouse Lucinda Louannah Bolling (Bowling) 1780 – 1820 with children: Ephraim Sizemore – 1858; Elizabeth Sizemore 1798 – ; William Sizemore 1798 – Lewis Sizemore 1799 – ; Winnie Sizemore 1801 – ; Henry Sizemore 1803 – 1850; Edward 'Slim Red' Sizemore 1804 – ; George Washington Sizemore 1805 – 1915 Nancy Sizemore 1806 – ; Susan 'Suz Anne' Sizemore 1807 – ; Sarah 'White Sally' Sizemore 1810 – ; Christopher 'Kit' Sizemore 1815 – ; Sylvania Sizemore 1816 –
Warning: Don Greene has included the Sizemore family in his highly fictional Shawnee Heritage Series, in particular, here. Use with high caution.

Relationships are not provided in this census, but it appears that Omie and George might be the parents, with Ephraim, Jackson and Lew as children? It is, admittedly, a strange enumeration example.
Also seeking citations for the tax lists mentioned under Residences.
Thank you!

Sizemore-84
Sizemore-1318 and Sizemore-57 clearly suggest the same person despite the data differences. Note two of the three wives attached to 1318 that are the same as the wives of 57 (and also need merging). Not sure about the third wife on 1318. Alternatively, we detach 1318 from the wives a that match 57's wives (and merge them) to keep an Edward father of the children attached to 1318 (who do not appear as children of 57). However, how do we confirm which Edward was son of George "All" Sizemore?

Years apart. They died in different states. I will contact the Leslie County and Perry County, Kentucky Genealogical Societies, for clarification.

Did you check all the SOURCES here?

Did you ever learn anything from the societies you mentioned above?
57's narrative includes a third wife Anna Baldwin but she's not attached. She IS attached to 84.
However, there are two completely different sets of children.
I'm not as worried about the different death data because none of it is sourced.

We know from an 1856 death record of one Edward Sizemore (presumably THIS Edward Sizemore-57?) was son of George and Agnes. (Can we confirm that the Edward Sizemore who died in 1856 was he with all these multiple wives?)
The profile of Edward Sizemore-84 (husband of Anna Baldwin) claims his father was George and "Anna Elizabeth Hart". What if any evidence supports that?
Many thanks.
Sizemore 57 Perry County, Kentucky recorded death record implies he was born in circa 1778 in Shenandoah, Virginia. and died in 1856 Perry County, Kentucky. Sizemore 84 This Edward Sizemore according to 1860 Webster County, Virginia 1860 US federal census data was identified as Edward B Sizemore and as being born1788 in Grayson, Virginia. Clearly they are NOT the same person as one person can not be identified as deceased and then be alive 4 years later. It is noted also that Sizemore 84 is the only Edward of this time period who is documented as having the middle initial of 'B'. This is identified through daughter Mahala (Sizemore) Baldwins record death record where Edward's wife was the informant for the data, 1860 US census and logan county, Virginia Tax records.
Since you appear to be most familiar with the sources that distinguish these two profiles, could you please make the required changes needed to make sure these two profiles correctly represent these two different individuals and then reject the merge?
Much appreciated.
