Hi Barb, In the Centennial Edition of the DAR Patriot Index, (pg. 1625) Dr. Reuben Jones is listed as having been born 3-9-1745/1746 (actually in Rockingham, Windham Co., Town Clerk's, Lyman S. Hayes, notes born in 1747) in MA, died 1-7-1833, married Eunice. Physician/VT. In the Rockingham Church records Dr. Reuben, Eunice and three sons are recorded. Lyman Hayes also identifies him as the one who participated in the Westminister massacre, the first legislatures, etc. The sketch on Rockingham that is online says he marched with the group to Ticonderoga. He died and was buried in Keeseville, NY, Jan. 7, 1833. Sorry, this is not my ancestor, and I do not know if this Dr. Reuben Jones is related to your Reuben Jones.

I am searching for information about the parents of Joseph Bartlett who is found in the 1820 census of Arlington, Bennington Co., VT. There are also the following Bartletts listed there: Josiah M., Joel (sp), and Eliphalet. My Joseph was born about 1786, married Nancy Skidmore, and they had the following children: Lester Leroy, b. 1816 at Arlington; Joseph, b. 1817 Arlington; Nancy, b. VT; and Maria, b. VT. Joseph could have been born in NH and removed with his family to Bennington Co. This family migrated to Franklin Co. and eventually St. Lawrence Co., NY. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
