There is a web page about a Reuben Hubbard of Strafford, Vermont at http://www.wizard.net/~aldonna/rh.htm. He sounds tantalizingly close to our Reuben but has the wrong wife, also a child Lucinda not Lorinda... but it's worth keeping in mind. Of course, Lorinda/Lucinda are fairly similar names. The locations listed fit our family exactly. Reuben's wife on this page is Lucy Slack, and Lucy's mom is Alice... and our Lorinda had a daughter, Lucy... makes you wonder.
