The IGI,
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
has him on an extract of state birth records:
REUBEN PAIN CADY
Birth: 27 AUG 1816 Ludlow Twp, Windsor, Vermont
Father: REUBEN CADY
You can borrow the microfilm in question via your local FHC for a modest fee. It would
probably give you his mother.
I clicked on "Batch Number" in the IGI listing. The batch number in this case is
7450044. Clicking on it gets you a screen with the batch number filled in. I left the
given name blank, entered a surname of Cady and put "Reuben" in the father's
name. I got:
1. ZILLAH LEONORA CADY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 15 JUL 1811 Ludlow Twp, Windsor, Vermont
2. MILTON SMITH CADY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 25 OCT 1812 Ludlow Twp, Windsor, Vermont
3. REUBEN PAIN CADY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 27 AUG 1816 Ludlow Twp, Windsor, Vermont
4. NATHAN MACKINSTRY CADY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 13 JUL 1814 Ludlow Twp, Windsor, Vermont
There is no way to be sure from the IGI citation, but the ages look right and they are all
from Ludlow Township, so I'd bet even money these are Reuben's siblings. They are
worth further investigation, at least, and the three or four bucks it will cost you to
borrow that mictofilm from Salt Lake.
MACKINSTRY - Nathan's middle name - looks a lot like a surname. It could be elder
Reuben's best friend or a maiden name in the tree. It could be a typo, too; there are
just 2 individuals named MACKINSTRY out of the third of a billion they have at RWWC. (Link
below)
This looks like him in 1880. His given name is mis-spelled. I found him by looking for
anyone named "Cady" in Warren County Pennsylvania. the LDS 1880 is a marvel, but
it isn't perfect.

I didn't find him on RWWC,
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
I did find 51 Cadys named "Reuben". one named "Ruben", none named
"Rubin" or "Rubben". You might try the conventional spelling as well
as all the alternate spellings in your further searches.
I hope this helps. If any of the links or techniques I used are new and useful to you, you
might find some other hints you can use on
