Waggoner-1431 and Waggoner-1538 appear to represent the same person because: The "John Waggoner" profile is GEDCOM junk and hopelessly unsalvageable because it is a very common name without birth or death information. Only information for the profile is it supposed to be the father of Barbara Waggoner. Her father is Johan Wilhem Waggoner so let merge John Waggoner into this profile to get rid of it.
