Primary Sources
Potential primary sources that would support the details (if located in repositories like FamilySearch, Ancestry, or local Wayne County archives) include:
- Town or county vital records for Williamson, Wayne County, New York (birth and death entries from 1829–1830). New York town clerks sometimes recorded births/deaths informally before statewide mandates.
- Church records from local congregations in Williamson (e.g., Presbyterian, Methodist, or Baptist churches active in the area), which might include baptism or burial notations.
- Family Bible records of Ahiel Guthrie or Diantha Bullock, if preserved in descendant collections or submitted to genealogical societies.
- Probate or estate files for Ahiel Guthrie (d. 1851), which might mention children (including deceased ones) in wills or inventories, though unlikely for a child who died 21 years earlier.
- 1830 U.S. Census (Wayne County, New York) for Ahiel Guthrie’s household, which could show a young child under age 5, indirectly supporting Reuben’s presence before his death later that year.
These are not confirmed as digitized or cited in public online profiles for this specific Reuben. No direct matches appeared in targeted searches on major sites like FamilySearch, Ancestry, or Find a Grave for this exact individual with primary record links.
Secondary Sources
Secondary sources are compiled, interpreted, or published works based on primary records or other secondary accounts (e.g., family histories, online trees, blogs, or articles). Most available information on Reuben falls here, as his brief life left little direct trace.
- WikiTree Profile for Diantha (Bullock) Guthrie — Collaborative tree listing Diantha’s birth (c. 1782, daughter of Reuben Bullock and Anna Bockes) and marriage to Ahiel. No specific entry or sources for son Reuben, but implies family context. Collaborative and user-edited, so reliability varies; no attached primary sources visible in summaries.

Includes family group sheets but focuses on later Bullock lines; limited detail on Guthrie side and no specific Reuben citations.
