It is unknown whether they divorced or Connie passed away prior to Stanley's second marriage. While records indicate that Reuben was born in Ohio, it is unsure WHERE in Ohio. His daughter, Connie's, marriage record states he was born in Hamilton County, Ohio. Research is ongoing to see if he connects with one of the families in the area at the time. |
