Alston-153 and Blake-275 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Please merge into Blake. Thank you.

Blake-275 and Alston-153 are not ready to be merged because: I'm not seeing it - can we get some sources on Anderson Cheek, perhaps, which may link him to this William Cheek? Otherwise, the only similarities are first name... husband, maybe. Seems like Anderson should be find-able.

Blake-275 and Alston-153 do not represent the same person because: Upon further research, there was no Anderson mentioned in William Cheek's will, therefore this is not a match.

Like everyone else in this family, there are multiple Andersons. I already removed him from this one. Still working on it. Thanks.
