Individual Details
Reuben BRYAN Sr
(5 Feb 1769 - 20 May 1856)
Events
| Birth | 5 Feb 1769 | Birth date is from tombstone. (Warning: The Massachusetts birth record is different, by roughly a year.) - Massachusetts |  | ||
| Number of children | 1791 | Obit of Reuben, Jr states that there were 7 boys and 2 girls. 6 of the boys are named (John, Russell, Henry, Ambrose, Dudley, plus Reuben Jr, who was youngest.) I believe the 7th boy was William. 1 daughter (Nancy) has birth record in MA. | |||
| Marriage | 17 Nov 1791 | New Marlborough, Massachusetts - Olive CHAPEL | | ||
| Residence | 1794 | Reuben Bryan is called one of the first settlers. Might have been a year or so later. (Son John born in Mass in 1795.) - Onondaga County, New York, USA | | ||
| Residence | 1840 | 1 male, 70-79, 1 female, 50-59. Nobody else - Onondaga, New York, United States | | ||
| Residence | 1850 | Lafayette, Onondaga, New York | | ||
| Death | 20 May 1856 | From tombstone. (Some internet sources say that Reuben died in 1850; they are wrong.) - Onandaga, NY | | ||
| Burial | LaFayette, Onondaga County, New York, USA | | |||
| Death | 1850 (wrong) | This is the history that confuses everyone about when Reuben died. It says 1850. It should say 1856. (See his tombstone and other sources.) | |
