John Maxwell - John Maxwell (1754-) Sarah <Jean> Howat\Hoat & John Maxwell (1749-) Sarah Jean Howat\Hoat Clarification & Documentation of Families needed

There seems to be confusion between the cousins seems that familysearch & others trees have created (the info may have been copied forward) has them both marrying a woman by the same name and their children bearing the same names having some or similar birthdates

To help keep the men & children seperated and from being merged I have placed their parents names in the suffix field for the time being

The following is an outline of the 2 families as found:
