I would suggest you go to your local Family History Center where you live and work with a Family History consulate to help you with you issue. There are several issues with the children, since Richard Wood Tyson was married several times. They can help you fix the issues. If you don't have that option. You need to contact FamilySearch support and let them dial into your computer and help you with the issues.

To Contact FamilySearch support: click on the ? mark with circle around it, top right of page. When window opens, click on "Contact Us" , bottom right. You can either call them or Live Chat with them.

You mention that Richard Wood Tyson is in Family Tree twice, but we see they have been merged. What do you mean by "red spare"?

Richard Wood Tyson, LC5S-815 does show three wives. One of the children, Sophia Howard, Marshall, Tyson, 9JTJ-C4F, listed under Richard Wood Tyson and spouse Juliana McHenry Howard, is likely the same child as Sophie Tyson, 9M66-KVN, listed as a child of Sophiah Howard and Richard, and may to be merged.

We see that The second child, Benjamin Howard Tyson, LCR3-7T2, has the same ID number under both Juliana and Sophiah, and would need to be either removed from the incorrect mother, if you have documentation of the correct one, or listed as a step child of the 2nd mother. The articles below may be useful.
