Thanks for pointing that out. You can propose a merge on the profile pages. 

Go to the lower left corner of one of the profile pages. Under Pending Merges, click on the hyperlink that says initiate a merge. Then follow the instructions on the forms that open up.

I see that the two profiles were marked as "Rejected Matches" in the past. If you get warnings about that, you should override the warnings and propose the merge.

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging for more information about merging profiles.

The Beall family in Maryland had many members in the early years and re-used names like John over and over.  This is an area I've researched and I will take a look at both profiles to see what can be added and if in fact there should be two (or more) Johns, or just one.

Additional Note:  After review, the main hold-up was a marriage of one of the John's to Keziah Wooden.  However, the two were in court in 1760 on a charge of bastardy, indicating that their relationship was non-marital.  I have therefore disconnected the two as spouses.  Since the profile manager of one is not active on WikiTree, I am re-proposing the merge to begin the 30 day waiting period before the merge can go through on a default basis.  During that time, additional research can be done.
