I am unfamiliar with the Mitchell lines. Please feel free toward merge if they indeed tie credibly to the John Rock Smith via adm Samuel Denton, Rev Hezekiah Smith line. Sorry can not be of more assistance at moment..working on deceased mom's home and loss of like 7 close family members within short time frame, and new grandchildren (mom of 5, 9 grandkids)

Esther mitchell smith then daughter esther smith price, etc

Grin. Ever feel like we're doing scripting, having to know our lines?

Should the possible duplicate of Mary Prior Mitchell here be taken care of before the possible merge of the John Mitchell profiles?

Mitchell-22630 and Mitchell-9987 are not ready to be merged because: They appear to be the same but the info is very limited to match to the second profile. More research needs to be done

Mitchell-22630 and Michell-24 are not ready to be merged because: The spouses don’t match, further research should be done to determine the correct spouse. I will look into this when I find some time, unless someone else has the definitive answer

Mitchell-22630 and Michell-24 appear to represent the same person because: same man, LNAB needs updating maybe on Michell-24 ?

Mitchell-142 and Michell-24 appear to represent the same person because: three profiles for the same person thus is the first of two mergers needed when completed please also merge Mitchell-9987 into Mitchell-24

Are you sure John was married to Mary Lathrop? If he wasn't we should have her removed and merged in with one of the many other Mary Lathrop's since there is not more info for this record.

Thanks, Julie
