I've been sitting here following the lines.. and have come to the conclusion that this information has to be wrong. Reuben's last name was Stowell and not Rangton. If this Reuben Stowell was born in Grey, ME, and his father's name was Reuben, then he is the son of my 3x great grandfather, Reuben Stowell, b. 10-10-1769, the son of Samuel Stowell and Patience Butman (Bootman). Samuel Stowell and his family was the only line of Stowell's that moved to Gray, ME. (At least the that I've found)... Reuben did have several brothers that also lived in Gray, so I wasn't sure when I found this Reuben if he was really the son of my Reuben b. 1769. Reuben married several times, one of his wives being Abigail Thompson. I believe he was also married to Abigail's sister Lucy, and possibly also to an Abigail Delano. I have had a very difficult time tracking this Reuben Stowell, and I just recently found the Reuben Stowell b. 12/20/1809 that married Olive Berr! y. I believe his parents are Reuben Stowell b. 1769 and Abigail Thompson. The last place I've tracked my Reuben to is New Gloucester, ME. Does any of this fit in with your information?
