Watkins-2570 and Watkins-1008 appear to represent the same person because: these profiles for sons of Henry & Mary appear to be duplicates and should be merged. Thanks!

ah - nevermind my comment about 1685. 1695 works too. the 1685 birth year is probably for his uncle.

Watkins-1008 and Watkins-4713 appear to represent the same person because: these profiles appear to be for the same man... 1685 is a better birth date for the age of his mother, but I have no source for it.

Watkins-389 and Watkins-4713 do not represent the same person because: Wife and child need to be sorted, but text for son of Katherine says son of Mary is different man.

Watkins-4713 and Watkins-1008 appear to represent the same person because: unless Henry Jr. had two sons named Joseph with died young, these profiles should be merged.
