I was going to propose a merge for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Warren-13938 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Warren-13939 but there's a warning not to merge with "Richard Warren of the Mayflower"...so, are these duplicate profiles or one the son of Ralph & Joan, the other of the Mayflower? (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Warren-13938 appears to be the one who's son of Ralph & Joan, as he's married to Elizabeth Hayward (see [this article]).

WikiTree profile: Richard Warren
closed with the note: clarification attained/merge proposed. Thanks everyone!

Richard Warren (Warren-398) of the Mayflower was b 1646. Someone probably posted the message about not merging with that profile to prevent future proposed merges which must have been numerous enough in the past to inspire the PM to post a warning on Warren-13938 who was b 100 years earlier. Perhaps tired data-doctors were initiating too many merges.  :)

For the Richard Warren who came over on the Mayflower see Warren-66

He married Elizabeth Walker. His wife and their five daughters came over later. He and his wife had two sons born at Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Colony.
