Brick wall: connecting Sandy Perryman to a manumission record

I have a 'Sandy Perryman (a free black)' in the 1832 Creek census at Chehawah. The AI related-records tool surfaced a manumission where a Perryman Wesley freed an enslaved man named Sandy. Is that enough to say it's the same person? How would you document the leap?
I do not think that there is enough information to say that it is the same person. I think it would be a good idea to do more research on Sandy Perryman and Perryman Wesley to see if there are other individuals that overlap with the same names which can help you determine if they are the same person or two separate individuals. Good luck in your research!
