Jane Looney, Reuben Alexander
Still searching for the parents of Reuben, (Rubin, Ruban,Rewbin and on it goes) Alexander, born about 1827 in MO. possible brothers, Andrew, Charles L.b 1831, Il and Thomas b 1829. Census 1880 Polk Co., Missouri list father born NC and mother b KY. for both Reuben and Charles. Charles also has a son listed named Rewben. Charles died in OK. Reuben may have moved there also as we can not find any death records for him or Jane.
Reuben married Eliza Jane Looney in St. Francois Co., MO 1846 and settled in Dallas Co., MO 1870. Not found in 1850 or 1860 census at this time.
Family lore is that Reuben served in Civil War and signed up in Linn Creek, MO. No records at DC
