Whitfield-2793 and Whitfield-154 appear to represent the same person because: Hello -- it looks like dates and relationships all line up. The main difference is the first name spelling -- Ritta vs Rita, which I think was highly variable in different sources. This is an ancestor of mine listed in the Martin County Historical Society (NC). Thanks for your consideration. Claire Taylor
