These "Sisters" don't match and the one on the left wasn't married to both of those men. It's not from an incorrect merge, it's from an incorrect tree.

Here is a well source FS tree for her. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LRMN-KMZ

Here is a Wikitree for her husband that doesn't belong, although it does list Geni as one of the sources. I think the issue is that he was married to a different Frances Phillips than the one he is attached to, so the new Frances would need to be MPd, too. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hunt-1773

This is going to take time. Sources are conflicting. I need to do it slowly abs carefully.

Did Frances Bainbridge also marry Ralph Hunt, III

Here’s our conflicting source.

Theophilus Phillips I, II, III & their wives, of Newtown, LI and Maidenhead, NJ, p 1. See URL in description. https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/142950867?cid=mem_copy

  1. https://ia601900.us.archive.org/6/items/phillips-lott-family-in-ame...

Lists Frances, daughter of Theophilus & Elizabeth Betts, b about 1699, married Joseph Hart, who died 1794.

This Frances Hart

Or this Francis Hart She’s much too old to have the children listed at Frances Hart

So - either there were two sets of Frances Phillips m. Joseph Harts, or the elder one is a time traveler / print error (I suspect the latter).

In any event, Frances Hart was not the daughter of Judge Theophilus Phillips, Ill

Frances Bainbridge Was named in the Will of Theophilus lll as my daughter Frances Bainbridge.

Frances Hunt wife of Ralph Hunt, III was not the daughter of Judge Theophilus Phillips, Ill & not the same as Frances Bainbridge That Francis was named Frances Bainbridge in 1762.

Ralph Hunt married Frances in 1733. He died before 27 Nov 1777 at Maidenhead, Burlington, New Jersey. His estate was probated on 27 Nov 1777.

Private User This is now resolved as best I know.

Three Frances Phillips.

Erica Howton thank you!

I had forgotten to update here that I did identify the parents of Frances Hart - pretty sure she belongs to Judge John Phillips & Annatje ‘Ann, Anna’ Phillips
