The 1860 fed census has listed for Bethel, Maine:

Reuben H. m 33 (Reuben never shows up on another census. I looked in
1870,1880, & 1900)
Priscilla S f 36
Milton J. m 13
Alphonso m 11
Phebe H. f 8
---- m 6 (this is Elsworth)
-----------------------
The 1870 has Milton and Eliz as Head of Household and wife. No Children
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1880 Fed Census

Now, this is strange....the 1880 has Lizzie(28) and Milton(33) living with
his brothers Elsworth(25) and Alphonso(31)
along with his sister Ellen (18) and their mother Priscilla(55). No sign of
Reuben. (All the guys are listed as farmers)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now in the 1900 census Milton and Elizabeth are show once again as Head of
Household and wife, but now there is a servent ,
Jeanette R Brelt ? (can't read last name) she's 12
Frank R. Flint son-in-law 25, and Blanche dau 22.

They did however list the month in which they were born in case you don't
have it....
Milton Oct.1846
Mary Elizabeth Nov. 1850
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's about it for Reuben and his crew!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tomorrow I'll try to look up Nathan.

Hope this helps!
Pam
