Conflation of Hannah Coffman's born in Ohio in 1845

Question

As I was working on cleaning up this profile, it became clear to me that it has acquired information for at least three separate individuals, maybe four. Please read the notes in the biography about this, and let me know what y'all think - am I right? Should this info be separated out into different profiles? Or do you have more information that would lead to different conclusions?

Answer 1

Going at this sideways via census data shows AR Hannah's sister Philena had 2 childr. b. MO c 1870s before she landed in Illinois c1880. Coincidental to MO Hannah's known residence in MO in the 1870s.

 MO Hannah married David Dill - he was in AR 1860 (BLM Land Records David Dill); also among their childr. are those named George, Ellen, Nancy Ann and Emma Philena - names of AR Hannah's parents and sisters passed down...

Seems reasonable to say AR Hannah (b. Gallia OH) is same pers. as MO Hannah.

The other two are separate Hannahs - so 3 profiles should be made for 3 Hannahs.
