Research Notes

Needs profiles created for children.

Removed Scotland as place of birth. Change FAG template to sameas = no tp prevent error. Birthplace is most likely Montgomery County, New York. Father [Cloos-2|Newbury Cloos'] unsourced FAG memorial indicates he moved the family to Tioga County, Pennsylvania in 1807. This is consistent with evidence found is several of Reuben's siblings census records. However, there is not enough primary evidence to be certain.

LNB is most likely Cloos. More research is required before making the change.
