https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/default.cfm
There are problems with the Arthurs and one of the Richard...
My concern today is for WILLIAM.
I have differentiated several "brothers" named William Chenoweth today and feel they are in their correct places now but I wonder if anyone has dealt with some of the issues/concerns mentioned at DAR?

Also, the public trees are in the thousands so of course many repeats of info good and or bad.
Looking for actual sources.
There are some really good profiles sourced and MP'd here but I see several that still need help.

There are two Findagrave memorials that appear to have two of the William Chenoweths with exact same birth dates and locations and I would appreciate some extra eyes, opinions, help...
Please see:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78243106/che which says a man born in 1760 served in the American Revolutionary war
"William CHENOWETH was born on 10 June 1760 in Frederick County, Virginia, the son of William Chenoweth and Ruth Calvert.
He served in the Revolutionary War, reaching the rank of Major, and appeared on Pottenger's Creek in Kentucky in August or September 1779."
wife attached is Mary Van Meter Chenoweth 1757–1832
and
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13756910/william-s-chenoweth which gives him the exact same birth date but says in the Bio he was born between 1755 and 1760 and served in the Rev War as well.
"excerpt from chenowethsite.com:
Served in the American Revolution. His name is believed to be William Smith Chenoweth, but that is not proven. He was born between 1755 and 1760 probably in Frederick Co., VA area. He died around September 23, 1838 in Allen Co., OH, the son of John Chenoweth III and his first wife Mary Smith. William, misplaced in both the Hiatt and Harris books, lived in Back Creek, Frederick Co., VA, probably on property from his father-in-law Casper Rinker. He was the only known child of John's first wife Mary Smith. He is proven in part by a codicil in his father John's will in that he received an inheritance from his grandfather and the fact that he was definitely not William the son of Thomas which Harris claimed (that William is found in Mason Co., KY) and he is not William Pugh as Cora Hiatt claimed (very different kids). He is a good fit for John(3)'s son."
no wife attached but bio adds: "married (1) Catherine Rinker (2) Mrs Ann Lewis nee McCool Nov 1811"

Tagging relevant Geni profiles:
William B. Chenoweth Birth: May 03, 1760 Son of Thomas Chenoweth and Mary Chenoweth (Prickett) Does anyone know who he married? (Please see https://www.geni.com/discussions/267695?msg=1643911)

William Chenoweth, I born 1732 Son of John Chenoweth, III and Mary Chenoweth (Smith)
Major William Chenoweth, II b 1760 Son of William Chenoweth, I and Ruth Chenoweth (Calvert)
Husband of Mary Chenoweth (Van Meter) who is the FaG William

and these are apparently the other FaG William's:
Catherine Chenoweth whose husband needs merged William S Chenoweth with Private
I do not immediately see a profile here in Geni for wife "(2) Mrs Ann Lewis nee McCool Nov 1811"

Awaiting merges.
Invited the last of the three William Chenoweth Rev War soldiers to the DAR Project.
Found and added spouse and children to our William B and will wait for responses to other Discussions started-- I had fond several links to share from Ancestry which I still do not know to which Patriot they belong.

Done for now.
Thank you.
Some of these profiles may be ready for MP flag or very close to it.
