I merged duplicates on this Zachariah Blackledge who was married to Mary Gressett. Due to the errors that seem to stem from multiple gedcom uploads, I tried to find sources for their parents. I found no documentation for Mary's parents (posted under her Discussion tab), and the only site that lists the parents for Zachariah and uses census records as sources lists them as Benjamin and Mary, which isn't any of the ones connected to him.

Pvt Zachariah Blackledge

Born 28 Jul 1767 in Orangeburg, Orangeburg, South Carolina

Son of Benjamin Blackledge and Mary (Unknown) Blackledge

Husband of Mary (Gressett) Blackledge — married about 1787 in South Carolina

Died about 1840 in Jones, Mississippi

So, if any of the parents currently connected to him are supposedly his true parents, documentation for that needs to be put in his About section. Otherwise, it seems he is definitely connected to the wrong parents and some corrections need to be made.

I'm not a relative, so I don't know the lines well enough to make corrections on them. I just came across all this while searching a connection to someone on their Geni pathway.
