Reuben Disbrow was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, 13 May 1773, a son of Elias and Olive (Gray) Disbrow. He married Isabel Olmstead, 27 June 1796 in Wilton, Connecticut, and soon moved to Orange county, New York. They settled near the town of Warwick, where their son Nathan Olmstead Disbrow was born in 1801.
In 1815 the family moved to what is now the town of Dix, Schuyler county, New York, and settled on a farm in the southeast part of that town, not far from the village of Millport. Reuben died in 1833 and was buried in this small cemetery a couple miles north of his farm. His stone was read by the D.A.R. when they did their cemetery survey (in the 1930's?), but could not be located in the tangle of brush that was overgrowing the cemetery when I visited it in 1987. A record of his burial is located in the files of the Schuyler Co. Historical Society in Montour Falls.
Isabel (Olmstead) Disbrow, born in Connecticut about 1770, was living in Dix as of 1855, but no record of her death or place of burial has been found.
