To MWS and Brasscaster
Many many thanks for the information you have supplied me with about Reuben James Giles.
It all fits together with Family information and a photograh of Reuben as a soldier where he obviously has spurs and a riding stick. The rest all fits together.

Thank you once again I am amazed at how quickly you were able to assist me with so much information
