Ebenezer’s PMs and his wife’s PMs and Mary Wright-8482 PMs should be watching for such errors. I have made the correction.

Wright-36710 and Wright-2806 appear to represent the same person because: Dates and locations match exactly. An entire duplicate family of Burt and Wright was created, needs to be merged. Wright-36710 has no sources (only ancestry.com). Defer to Wright-2806 for any conflicting information.
