Reuben Proctor

"It is believed that Reuben was the oldest of the (Proctor) brothers. He served in John Holder's militia company in 1779. 

He and his brothers were among the survivors of the Battle of Estill's Defeat.

   Somewhere along the line, he left Boonesborough to explore the south side of Kentucky with intentions of settling. That "south side" was probably Mississippi, or maybe Tennessee.  

   Anne Crabb tells us that he was born in 1754 Brunswick Co, VA. He married Katurah, maiden name unknown.

He died around 1808, in Mississippi. Only 3 children lived beyond the year of 1824.
“Reuben Proctor was probably married to Keturah Buchanan - one of their descendants says that their son James B. had a middle name of Buchanan, and Reuben was witness to the will of James Buchanan in Miss. in 1788.”

                                                                                                            -- Shirley Ross, Proctor Historian
