update - merge completed

Shore-469 and Shores-265 appear to represent the same person because: dates and locations are same. I don't know which spelling is correct, but the transcription of his wife's will on her profile is without the "s" - see Woodson-890.

There are five Thomas Shores in DAR & four in SAR - I don't know which one was at Valley Forge (as indicated by one of the linked sources, for "DAR National Number 41662" - but the person with National Number 41662 is not linked to a Thomas Shores. The source list also links to a pension record, which is not for this Thomas.

not him -

one of the other DAR Thomas Shores is Thomas Shores (abt.1730-abt.1815) (DAR #A104335) says
There has been confusion between several men with the name Thomas Shores due to some incorrect lineages at DAR. Future lineages will need to prove the data.
