Ruben Krum is listed in the Town of Rochester on the 1799 Ulster County tax roll. He was assessed with $181 of real estate and $129 personal estate, and was assessed tax of 29 cents.[5] In 1800 Reuben Krum of Rochester was assessed with $181 of real estate and $46 personal estate, and was assessed tax of 22 cents.[6] In 1803, Reuben Krom of Rochester was assessed as the possessor of property owned by Solomon Krom, including real estate value of $181 and personal estate of $53, for a tax of 10 cents and 7 mills.[7]
In 1800, the U.S. Census recorded Reuben Krum in the town of Rochester, Ulster County, New York. His household consisted of seven free white persons: two men and and one woman age 26 to 44, one female age 10 to 15, and two males and one female under age 10.[8]
The 1810 U.S. Census recorded Reubin Krom in Rochester, Ulster County, New York. His household consisted of six people: one free white male and one free white female age 45 and above, one free white male age 16 to 25, one free white male and one free white female age 10 to 15, and one other free person.[9]
The children seem to have grown up and left the family home by the time of the 1820 U.S. Census, which recorded Reuben Krum in the town of Rochester with a household consisting of one man and one woman, both over age 45.[10] The 1830 U.S. Census recorded Reuben Krum of the town of Rochester in a household consisting of three free white persons: a man and a woman of age 60 to 69 and a boy age 5 to 9.[11]
Reuben died some time after the 1830 census was recorded.
Another Reuben Krom who resided in Ulster County has been confused with this man. He is documented in Krom-Krum genealogy, descendants of Gysbert Crom (1650-?) of Marbletown, New York,[12] where he is identified as a son of Jacob Krom and Catherine Crispell, born before 1790.
This other Reuben was much younger. The 1820 Census recorded the other Reuben Krum living in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York. The oldest individuals in his household were a man and a woman age 25 to 44. [13] This younger man is probably the same Reuben Krum who appears in the 1830 census in the town of Olive, Ulster County, apparently in the age range 30 to 39.[14][15]
This other Reuben Krom married Mary Dubois. They had their nine children baptized at their home in October 1833, by a domine from the Shokan Reformed Dutch Church. [16] A son named Stephen was born in 1835 and baptized in 1836 and daughter named Joannah was baptized in in 1837, both in the Shokan church.[17]
Administration of the estate of Reuben Krom, deceased, of the town of Olive, Ulster County, New York, was granted to Mary Krom, his widow, and Jacob Krom, his son, on 3 April 1846. Reuben Krom had died intestate.[18] Mary Krom and Jacob Krom filed the estate inventory on 19 June 1846.[19][20]
The Krom-Krum genealogy indicates that this man died before 17 September 1847, said to be the date when son Jacob petitioned for administration of the estate,[21] but records cited here indicate that the probate process was initiated in 1846.
The following source was probably for a different Reuben Krom who died in the period 1898-1902:
