-- MERGED NOTE ------------


==Please note before proposing a merge with Morris-7581==

The Thomas Pettus-8 profile (England Project with PPP) that this woman is married to is the product of merging three duplicate profiles. We are awaiting approval for a merge of a further Thomas Pettus duplicate, then the wives and children can be reallocated. Please email me to discuss if you would like to discuss this approach.
