Hello,
I have just looked up the DAR number given for this Robert Thompson (1760-1838) born in Donegal, Ireland and it is incorrect!!
That number is for a Robert Thompson born in Scotland (1760-1838)!!!

Jim Wile, would you please assist?

It looks like it came about because of this merge, which has conflicting data.

I think there is some confusion. It seems there was a Robert Thompson, who was born in Ireland and died in Canada. The DAR patriot was born in Scotland and died in Westmoreland County, PA.

Keziah is the daughter of Robert who died in Canada, which is also where she died. Susannah is the daughter of the DAR patriot. Most of the trees on Ancestry have the two Roberts combined. When I researched Keziah, I came up with this tree. https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/89163641/person/11...

Susannah and Keziah are now separated.
