Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows whether Otis Ide or Reuben Ide are connected to this line. I have a Reuben, born around 1796 in Vermont, who is my 4th great grandfather. He ended up in Howard County, Indiana by 1850. He was married to Phebe. I believe he had a brother Otis (born late 1700s in VT?) because they are listed two houses apart in Essex County, NY in 1820. From what I can tell, this Reuben had sons also named Otis (1816 NY) and Reuben (1820 NY). Are "1796" Reuben and "1790s" Otis related to Ichabod?
I also have ANOTHER Reuben Ide, buried in Howard County IN, who is listed as a Revolutionary War vet and lived 1763-1846. This line has been giving me fits for years due to their seeming lack of records and love of reusing names :) Anyone know anything?
