Using Ancestry after the Miller discursus

OK, From before I have Lucy Miller in my tree. Her father is shown as Eleazur Miller. From yesterday I have another Lucy Miller, father Elizur Miller. They are the same person.
Lucy Miller 1 is married the Alfred Tiffany. For her, I have:
Father Eleazur Miller
Mother Dorcas Goodrich
no siblings
Lucy Miller 2 has no spouse
Father Elizur Miller

Ancestry tells me that Lucy Miller 1 combines info from 11 trees, but I can't get back to the trees.
Similarly, Lucy Miller 2 combines info from 5 trees, which I can't now get to.

What to do?
I add Elizur as a father to Lucy Miller 1. I rename Dorcas Goodrich 2 to Dorcas 2 Goodrich and add her as a mother to Lucy Miller 1.
Now I can delete Lucy Miller 2 so I do. I delete Eleazur Miller and Dorcas Goodrich 1, then rename Dorcas 2 Goodrich back to Dorcas Goodrich.
Now I can look at what I have:
Cynthia Tiffany's parents are Alfred Tiffany, with a hint, and Lucy Miller, without a hint.
Lucy Miller's parents are Elizur Miller and Doercas Goodrich, both with hints.
Elizur Miller's hint is a Connecticut Marriage Record; no trees, but the profile says there are ten new possible connections. They are described as:
Burnside Family Tree; MacPherson Family Tree; Wiener Janski family Tree; kent Family Tree; Alexander-Smith Family Tree//
Reed Family Tree; FrvShell2010; Lehmiller-Ross Family Tree; K Family Tree 6,003; appleton Family Tree.
I have to learn how that works.
In any case, many of these trees have Eleazur rather than Elizur and have him born in Pennsylvania rather than Connecticut. Moreover, they place him in Salem Township in Clarion County rather than Wayne Counbty -- but it is possible that he went on to Clarion County -- I just don't know.

I edited his place of birth to Glastonbury. To do this, I change his father's birth day from 1735 to 1725. Then I changed it back.
Sone tree show Abijah's wife as Dorkas Chubb. I haven't seen any evidence for that.

Note: Google Books tells me that Capt. Abijah Miller is found on pages 560 and 620, as well as the index on page 882 of Hale, House and related families by D L Jacobus. The book costs about $90, so I'll consult it in a library. The Susquehanna County Historical Society does not have ti; the NYPL


More later.
