This Reuben Vass could be (I have no actual proof) the son of John Vass who died in Essex County, VA in 1755.

There is a Spotsylvania County, Virginia record of March 2, 1774 in which it is mentioned that John Waller, Clerk (meaning minister), of Spotsylvania had large debts due him by [Reuben] Vass “who resides in South Carolina.” Consequently, a power of attorney was give to William Arnold of Caroline County, Virginia to collect these debts.

Note the reference to Reuben living in South Carolina.

The Reuben born ca. 1732 would have been too old to have been a soldier in the War of 1812. I am not familiar with a record showing him marching with Patrick Henry in 1775.
