I have quite a bit of information regarding Reuel (or Rewel or Ruel) Ewer, just not who his parents were or siblings.He married Ellen Wamsley in Cassville, WI 8-31-1851.On the 1860 census he was listed as a miner.Cassville, Grant County, was considered a large lead mining region.He & Ellen had 4 daughters (Mary: b. 1853, but died young we think; Angelina: b. 1855, m. a Richard Williams & lived in Boonesboro, IA; Clara: b. 1857, m. Omar Harford & lived in Nebraska; Rosalie: b. 1859, m. Joseph Clayton & lived in Buffalo County, Nebr.).He and Ellen had one son (Abraham Lincoln Ewer: b. 1861, m. Elizabeth Tollefson & lived in Buffalo County, Neb.)
Ellen married Sam Higgins after Reuel died and they moved with children to Nebraska to homestead but apparently lived a little while in Iowa before going to Nebraska.I have more information and would be glad to send you what I have if you want to contact me.
