NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Reuben E. Best is not in my direct ancestry. The Best family of Salem Twp., Clarion County, PA. is linked by marriage to the family of David Beels. The Beels family is possibly distantly related to our Jacob Bealsfamily. No relationship has been established, and the Beels family believe there is none.

Date Location Notes Sources
Birth May 1862 PA [3]
Marriage To Mary Femlee [7]
Death
Burial "at Salem", expect Salem Lutheran Salem Twp., Clarion Co. PA [7]
