"Reuben
Hilliard and son, William David Hilliard." Photographer S. B.
Dilley was in Lake City, Minnesota, in the 1870 and 1880 census.
Must be Reuben's brother. The age difference was not great enough to be a child of Reuben. Was
Reuben previously married? The letters from Pennsylvania indicate that Reuben had a child out of wedlock in Pennsylvania.
