Karl David Wright - I have not yet found the bad merge. I'm back to https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=73372644110.
Dan Cornett - Do you have time to look through the revisions before this merge? (It is obvious from the material posted in the "Overview" that there were two men named John Warner. One in Hadley, Massachusetts; the other near Hartford, Connecticut. There are two different FaG memorial numbers.)
I can come back later today.

I did one unmerge, which left an isolated profile.
I then added wife & children from FindAGrave ... and that proved to show a match to the existing MP John Warner, of Farmington. So I deleted that newly-created fragment.

Dan Cornett - Thanks.

The name on this one is interesting
1/16 Powhatan Lucy West

And this one 1/8 Powhatan William J. Parker, Jr.

Thanks Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087

I'm not seeing John as father of Bernard at https://www.oldnews.com/en/record?record_id=record-12013-1015429089...? (1936) It looks like it's citing Cutter, who is not reliable. But if you see and are clear that you understand it, you can always make one or two "standalone profiles" from "Create a branch" and then hyperlink to Bernard through the "about." That's a place to hang research notes and work it out. If it's 1936 it may well have been debunked since then: The Great Migration Project is the gold standard for New England. Or add a document directly to Bernard's profile as a research note.

These 2 were showing with the same parents

slightly different dates - different wives. If merged he will be having children with both women at the same time

Also for Jacob Black Adams

His children are interspersed with being born in West Virginia and Pennsylvania

Nancy Adamson children seem a little suspect.
She has 17 children born over a 37 year period (between 1747 and 1784) and 5 of her children have no information and 5 were born before she married.

John Lenvell Myers, Sr. is having children to multiple women at the same time (and his wives have similar names)

His wives

• Margaret Pauley - Myers 1821-1880
• Lucinda Myers 1822-1860
• Lucinda J. Lucy" Myers 1814-1896

Susanne Floyd - thanks, I took care of it. I very much am interested in near ancestors to the English & Scots colonists of the 1600s.

Private User - I've fallen behind and will focus on before 1776 to catch up. But we'll get there! All welcome to help.

No rush - If I don't note them when I see them then I forget all about them.

There will probably be lots more - I am currently working thru 100K of inherited profiles that have potential duplicates and these pesky little issues keep showing up.
