Wright-28046 and Wright-12573 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same wife and only one profile is unsourced

Wright-28046 and Wright-12573 are not ready to be merged because: Although some of the information matches, one profile was born in England the other was born in Maryland. I'm not willing to merge the two of them until it can be definitively proven that they are the same person: it's possible that the wife is only married to one of them and that the other was incorrectly connected.

Have you been able to make this confirmation yet? There's a book that's listed in my Edward Wright's profile which goes through the entire genealogy of I believe Five Edward Wright's living in Mardella Springs at the time.
