It is told in local history that Ruben Brown was wounded during the Civil War and came onto John Bull's land & died there. He was the first person buried in the Bull Cemetery. I have not made a connection, but there was a Thomas Brown who moved Alabama about 1840 from Alabama to the Shilo Community of Sebastian County Arkansas. Thomas Brown was married to Mary "Poly" Bull and she was the age generation that she may have been a sister to John Bull. Rueben Brown is of the same age generation he may have been a brother to Thomas Brown. John Bull was a northern sympathized and he did not fight in the civil war. It is very possible that Rueben Brown was hiding from the confederate or bushwhackers from that area.

May, 2010: Information found on internet. Ruben Brown was killed in his garden by bushwhackers. He was married to Martha Patsy Hines in Madison County Missouri. They had ten children. She died in Latimer County Oklahoma abt. 1895
