Another lady and I just started looking for official documentation on Abisha and Reuben. Was Reuben a Rev. War Soldier? We cannot locate any evidence to that effect --- We were told that Abisha served in the War of 1812 and are not able to locate official documentation to validate that either. It's O.K. if neither man was a soldier [The DAR is not our goal.] We just want to collect the truth and have as many copies of cited sources to prove the "truth" as is possible. Today, I ordered the book by Benjamin Jesse Gunn [pub 1891] and have seen info online since I placed the order that questions its accuracy. What is the single BEST source for analytical - crisp - accurate information [as is possible in genealogy] for Reuben and Abisha Gunn?
