Biography
Reuben was the son of Ebenezer Rockwell (1742-) and Abigail (Smith) Rockwell (abt.1742-1813).
Research notes
Reuben was born around 1774. His birth was first entered as 11 Oct 1778 in Ridgefield, CT (Fairfield County) (source?). Based on the 1860 census, he would have been born in 1773 or 1774. A FindaGrave memorial listed his birth as 11 Oct 1774 in Rhode Island.
A FindaGrave memorial listed his death in the database as 26 Jun 1849 in Enfield, NY (Tompkins County). However, the bio stated he was living in Enfield and enumerated in the 1860 census. There is no photo of a grave for Reuben.
In 1860 an Ephraim Rolf (56, b. NJ, farmer) headed an Enfield, NY (Tompkins County) household with Elizabeth Rolf (54, b. NY), Urania Manning (33, b. NY), Jonathan Rolf (25, b. NY), Minor T. Rolf (male, 21, b. NY), Cloa M. Rolf (female, 18, b. NY), Henry C. Rolf (16, b. NY), Owen L. Rolf (8, b. NY), Eugene Manning (7, b. NY), and Reuben Rockwell (86, b. RI). Reuben Rockwell is likely Elizabeth's father.
