Someone messaged me asking if two profiles were the same and I looked and saw they were different but same names and family member names...

So I rejected the merge: https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000175890091841?return=match...

William Shelton, Sr. is a profile I adopted some time ago so I thought I would differentiate them and in doing so, I found a Smart match on MyHeritage and added it and I saw the married name for Unknown First Shelton and added it so she no longer appeared as Patience Shelton. This helped to differentiate them.
However, several merges later, I am on this profile and see a different wife named Patience (Patience Shelton) and the wife which DAR says is not correct, Elizabeth Shelton who of course has a last name Rogers the same as the William Shelton, Sr. I said is not the same as William Shelton, Sr....

Patience Shelton was Geni married to both Thomas Shelton AND William Shelton, Sr. but I disconnected her from Thomas because his two wives are already on his profile.

Thank you

Patience Shelton 's maiden name of UNKNOWN needs to be added to help with sorting the lines, please. To keep from visually being so similar to Unknown First Shelton (or at least, this is my preference... having nothing in the maiden name field is confusing)

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZBQ-8CR calls her Patience Thomas Rogers, wife of William Shelton so obviously she is conflated there...

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 there are 45 Sheltons listed as Patriots in the DAR database (7 are William Sheltons). I will see if I can help straighten them out. Thank you!
