I believe, but can't prove, that the Reuben Chessman married in 1811 to Deborah Smith is the same one that turns up in Millville, Cumberland Co. in the 1850-1870 censuses, married to Rebecca. He has two daughters born around 1820, Emeline (who married James Ewan) and Hannah, who apparently never married. There are six other children born between 1833 and 1847, and the gap suggests a second marriage. The son, Reuben (b. abt 1844), appears in the 1870 census married to Jane, who may be Rebecca Jane. The Harriet who married in 1862 would be the daughter of Reuben Sr. There are several other Cheesemans in Millville in the 1850 and 1860 census: John, b. abt 1834, and Henry, b. abt 1822, but I don't know how, or whether, they are related to Reuben. The report below shows what I have:
