Please delete person who didn't exist and move ordinances to the correct person
Please delete Marlin Cornious Moore LD9B-FXP. He seems to be an odd combination of Marion Lee Moore LDSM-T5T and Cordius Hardin Moore GMPJ-62M. The 1880 Census was incorrectly indexed as Cornious More, and that is probably part of the reason for the confusion. I have edited that and moved it to Cordius Hardin Moore GMPJ-62M, along with the 1900 Census which says C H Moore.
I also noted that he has ordinances, which probably belong to Cordius Hardin Moore GMPJ-62M. Please let me know what you find and move the ordinances if appropriate.
It also looks like Margaret Moore LHCZ-F1B is an odd person and doesn’t belong. When I look in the Change History, I see that she had a husband, James Pleasant Lovelady, and children who no longer show. However, the husband’s record is now Pleasant Travis Lovelady L6GC-3P7 and the sources for him and the children seem to support that. His wife (the mother of the children) shows as Maude Amanda Phillips L61S-MT6. But Margaret is sealed to Powhatan Leftridge Moore LD9R-1YG and Priscilla E Gibbs K2H8-P8D. Please see if the ordinances were performed for Margaret or if they instead belong to Mary A. Moore G9XM-3KV or Martha A Moore LWXX-P68 or someone else. I don’t know what to do with this person. I find no records for her existence.

Thank you for posting in the Community about deleting Marlin Cornious Moore, We agree that Marlin Cornious Moore, LD9B-FXP, and Marion Lee Moore, LDSM-T5T, as the Census sources do not have two children born the same month and year. We suggest you merge the two records. Use the steps below:

You're right. It is probably safe to assume this record represented Marion Lee instead of Cordius Hardin, since the record attached was for Marion.
