Greenhill
George Robert Reuben Ruben




1897_04_29 Greenhill RoH: Confederate. In 1880, a Rueben George, born in NC, lived in Sullivan with wife Malinda. They had married in Moultrie County, 28 Nov 1865. In 1860, she was living in Sullivan, a housekeeper for John Thomason. Mr. Thomason was born in NC, and it is likely that Rueben George's move to IL so soon after the war was due to some relationship with the Thomasons. Though it has not been proven, he is probably the Reuben George who enlisted as a Private in Company D, 52nd Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 12 May 1862, at the age of 41. POW on 3 Jul 1863 at Gettysburg, PA Confined on 10 Jul 1863 at Fort Delaware, DE. Took Oath of Allegiance on 13 Feb 1865 at Fort Delaware, DE.
