untangle some duplicates in Virginia in 1757 - 1833

Question

These are not my rellies and not my area of expertise, but it looks like Elizabeth might have 3 profiles:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-603 (linked below)

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-4797 (scanty info but looks like her son James is a duplicate of the son of the above profile and thus also grandson Boaz is duplicated)

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-6439 (a subsequent marriage, or a mistake?, or just another person with the same 4 names? born the same year?)

Hopefully someone familiar with the time, place and families can sort this out - looks like it was tried before and rejected, but not sure it should have been rejected...)

Thanks for looking at it!

Cheers

Shirlea

I will begin sourcing the children on these profiles because they will have the best sources. This should then allow sourcing the ancestor profiles.

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

The trouble starts when someone does not have a real source but marks another profile as a non match when making the profile or when someone already tried to merge them like Hamilton-10630 same as Hamilton-17372 and need to merge.
Sources are now added and is part of this family line you are trying to untangle.

If not sure about merging get more sources before marking as a non match.

Answer 2

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-6439 is NOT the same as the other two. In fact, I have my doubts that her last name at birth was Fry. Her profile now has sources and research notes.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-603 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fry-4797 are very likely the same person, as the are currently linked to a son named James, that are the same person. Initiated a merge of the son James which will not be able to happen until the mothers are merged IF they are the same. Could find NOT sources at FamilySearch for these Elizabeths.
