When he joined the army to fight in the War of 1812, he listed his place of birth as Amherst, VA. He named his first son Reuben - did he name him after his own dad? I found the record where Reuben Toney married widow Fanny Willoughby in 1779. Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate anything.
