Pastoral record of Rev. Charles August Pauli, records witnesses to baptism as Reuben and Mary Steely
**************************************************************************
There is a question of Reuben's middle name. The family Bible of Katharina Stoudt McArthur lists him as Reuben E.
Another researcher lists him as Reuben S. The baptism record lists the initial as "S". A transcribed entry of the marriage from Rev. Reverend Charles August Pauli lists the name as Reuben ESBIN Staud. It also lists the marriage date as August 25 rather than the Bible entry of August 27, 1867
**************************************************************************
There is a question if Reuben Stoudt had a previous marriage to Mary ....... who was born in 1841 and a question of a child Minerva born ?1871?
**************************************************************************
A source states that Reuben was living in Dauphin County, PA in the 1880 Federal Census. {Harrisburg area}
**************************************************************************
The spelling Gararalla's name is based on an entry in the family Bible:
"Reuben E. Stoudt of Lower Heidelberg, Berks Co. PA born Nov. 24th, 1844
Gabaralla Stoudt, born Mumah of West Cocalico, Lancaster Co. PA born Apr. 30, 1849
They were married August 22, 1867 by Rev. August Pauli, Reading PA."
