“ No record of Abigail (Walker) Dunton found after 1768.”
This is my only uncertainty.

BIRTH 20 Jan 1774
Edgecomb, Lincoln County, Maine, USA
Deborah was the daughter of John M. Dunton of Montsweag, Lincoln County, Maine and Abigail Heal Dunton of York Village, York County, Maine.
But:
John married (1) Abigail Walker 11 Dec 1760 in Georgetown ME.
John married (2) Abigail Heal 06 Sep 1774 in Georgetown ME.
It’s quite possible Deborah was born before formal marriage to Abigail Walker, and Walker had already died, since we have no record after 1768. But I was thinking Walker likely died in childbirth with Deborah. VR won’t help, even if we can find the record; it will likely be Abigail without maiden name. Need will from a grand parent, perhaps.
I’ll place her under Walker with a comment.
Ok--- for Lay family --- I am seeing there were several men of same name and Hannah married one and her daughter married one:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lay-531 says:
"The name Valley was used to distinguish him from River Jesse Lay who owned land nearby on the Clear Fork River."
A gedcom recently uploaded added confusion with unsourced profiles and crazy duplicates....
Honeycutt is in the family downline so I got pulled in
Several of these profiles are MP'd but need more added to the About as well as media and MP more of the family members.
Plus of course merge some bad ones away to make them correct since they won't likely be deleted
Erica Howton, could you look at this discussion

William H. Traylor is locked to parents that aren't Traylors and who disagree with most web trees out there. Can somebody disconnect him? His parents have 16 children according to the notes but they currently have 20, so some have snuck in incorrectly.
Karl David Wright - see the revisions screen for Samuel Riley, Jr.
In other words, William Michael Traylor Jr. morphed into Samuel Riley., Jr. So far I don’t see a bad merge to undo, so may need to rebuild that tree.
Ok - check now

Biography
Gu-Lu-Sti-Yu was born about 1770 in the Cherokee Nation (East), the daughter of Tal-tsu’ska Doublehead and an unknown mother. According to Emmet Starr she was from the Long Hair clan. She married Samuel Riley, a white man and business partner of her father, about 1790. [1] Her sister Ni-go-di-g-eyu was concurrently married to Samuel. Samuel died in March 1819 at Blue Springs in Roane County, Tennessee.
Samuel and Gu-Lu-Sti-Yu had eleven children:
Richard, born 1791
Nancy/Nannie, born about 1792
Mary (Polly), born about 1793
Elizabeth, born July 5, 1794
John, born about 1795
Lucy, born about 1795
Eleanor (Nellie), born about 1797
Sallie, born about 1798
Louisa, born about 1799
Looney, born November 12 1800
Rachel, born about 1801.
Mary, Elizabeth, Lucy, Eleanor, Sallie, Louisa, and Looney were baptized by missionary Evan Jones in 1805. [2]
I would think the children were born in Cherokee Nation East.
Children of Ni-Go-Di-Ge-Yu Sti Yu Riley do not reconcile with https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Doublehead-10
If they can’t be found in Wikitree elsewhere, we should double check with a query in the geni project, https://www.geni.com/projects/Cherokee-Genealogy-and-History/12
This is a readable biography for Samuel, with original doc.

Hi - a minor fix requested: John Chenoweth
I have attempted to contact the curator who curated him, but no luck. John Chenoweth's (locked) death date is so early that most of his children couldn't be his, if it is correct.
Web trees give a date of Oct 4 1865 and a place of death of Tippecanoe, Indiana. This is much more plausible. Marriage date given is Sep 6 1807, in Ross County, Ohio.
