14. | Reuben Beecher Strong was born on 26 Jun 1814 in Vesper, Onondaga County, New York (son of Ansel Strong and Hannah Shailer Stocking); died on 1 Sep 1889 in North Greenfield, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin; was buried in Honey Creek Cemetery, West Allis, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Notes:
Dwight lists him as "a farmer in Greenfield, Milwaukee Co., Wis., m. Pamela FULLER, sister to his father's second wife." (Dwight, p 194).
Reuben was the first deacon of The First Baptist Church of West Allis, which was organized by Elder Richard Griffing in 1836, the first organized religion to establish itself in the area. The church struggled its first few years, trying to hold firm in its existence, but, finally, in May 1841 the 37 charter members voted to disband and reorganize in North Greenfield (now West Allis). On June 2, 1841, delegates met at the home of Eber Cornwall and established the Baptist Church of Greenfield. In its early years the church formed a circuit of three nearby churches under one pastor. Services were held in Cornwall's home, then in a schoolhouse and later in a building on land owned by Reuben Strong, the first deacon of the church. A church building was finally erected in 1869 at South 83rd Street and West National Avenue under the leadership of Rev. Enoch Underwood. When the Madison Division of the Northwestern Railroad was built through West Allis in 1883, the building was relocated to south 84th Street and West Mitchell Street.(http://www.firstbaptistwestallis.org/history.html)

There is not a date on the Nebraska territory census, so it is possible it was taken later than June, and Ansel was counted twice).
