E-mail: Polly Custer
Query: CUSTER I am looking for specifics on Reuben Custer, b. PA about 1792, son of Peter Custer and Elizabeth Fleisher, who were married in Berks County then moved to Virginia (WV). Here is what I know: 1. Reuben lived in Berkeley County VA for at least part of his life. 2. While in Berkeley County, he was married to Cassia (sic. Kasia, Cavira, Cassie) and fathered several children. 3. Listed as the oldest child of Reuben is Jonathan, b. in PA about 1818, who lived in Berkeley County, as well. 4. 1850 census for Berkeley County does not show Reuben or Cassia, but it shows Jonathan, age 33, living with 'Mrs. J', age 40, and these children (all of whom are children of Reuben and Cassia): Peter (age 25, b. VA), John (age 20, b. VA), James (age 18, b. VA), William (age 12), Jacob (age 9), David (age 5), and Elizabeth (age 15). This would appear that big brother Jonathan and his wife are caring for the Reuben and Cassia brood. 5. The 1860 census shows Jonathan, age 42, living with Cavira (age 61...his mother?), and brothers James, William, Jacob, and David. 6. In 1863, Jonas Custer, (age 46 and single son of Reuben and Hannah, b. PA), married Sarah A. Fletcher Keller (age 37 widow, daughter of Wm. and Mary Fletcher) in Berkeley County. 7. 1870 census shows Cassia (age 70) head of household with Jacob (age 26), David (age 24), William (age 29), Lydia (age 16 ..(she would be the daughter Peter and wife Elizabeth Fletcher (not Fleisher!) and the grandaughter of Reuben and Cassia) and Sarah C. (age 6). 1870 shows Jonathan (age 52) with wife Sarah A. and children John (age 4), and Jacob (age 2). 8. Reuben is the brother of John, who married Rachel Morgan. John and Rachel returned to PA after living in Berkeley County, and John died in PA. With this information, here are my questions: 1. Reuben, son of Peter and Elizabeth, married someone named Hanna in PA before marrying Cassia, and fathered Jonathan [Jonas] in the early 1800's. Who was she, and were there more children? 2. Berkeley County records do not show the marriage of Reuben and Cassia. Did this occur in PA after 1818 and before 1825? 3. Reuben disappeared from Berkeley County records before 1850. Did Reuben and Cassie possibly return to PA as did his brother? Did Reuben die in PA, and Cassie returned to WV to be with her family? 4. When and where did Reuben die? I've scoured Berkeley County death records and found no Reuben. 5. Who was the 'Mrs. J' listed in the 1850 census as wife of Jonathan, when did he marry her? Did Jonathan also return to PA before 1850 and marry the "Mrs. J." on the Berkeley County census? It seems information on Reuben's early life will clear up many of these questions. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Polly Custer
