Lasswell-47 and Laswell-85 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same men, with same dates, married to Frances "Fanny" in NC. The family surname had many strange variations. The Laswell or Lasswell version was probably the oldest, being changed to Lasfield, Lasefield, and the more common name found today, Lacefield. I am suggesting using the intermediate LASWELL surname with LACEFIELD as a current or "other" surname. Hence the direction of the merge.
