They have been separated at Wikitree

I discovered this due to looking at the children of Ephraim McDowell
There are several same named children and each has been curated so it will need the curators’ attention please.
I have DNA confirmed with autosomal with several others at AncestryDNA, 23&me and a genealogy group on Facebook which is especially active for Irvine.
Can the curators please check the profiles?
The profiles at Wikitree suggest that records were used to differentiate between the two men

Tagging Private User Erica Howton and Dan Cornett please see.

Both end up with Alexander McDowell being a tenth great grandfather in the relationship path but James is showing as not the son of Ephraim and Margaret any more at Wikitree.
I will revisit

It appears they are saying Ephraim is uncle not father.

Relationships are locked.

This will be the son of Ephraim:
James McDowell, of Augusta County

Awaiting the merge of Ephraim McDowell which will give James HIS son the correct parents
https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000187415387308
And awaiting the merge of Mary McDowell with locked version of herself so that her final two of 8 named children will be added to the couple.

No other actions needed or requested at this time.
Pretty exciting!
I wonder if we can KNOW for certain if Jane McDowell was born in Ireland

Merging done.

Thank you so much, Erica Howton

Oh-- still need the mother added:
Margaret Erixney McEwen
Jane Irvin
named in Lieutenant James McDowell, of Derry Township 's will but her relationship lock prevents me adding them to her

Done.
