Headstone of Reuben Gramling (1791-1865) located in Owen's Chapel Cemetery. Reuben Gramling and his son, Benjamin M. Gramling are listed on the 1840 Census for the Spartanburg District of South Carolina. Reuben is also listed on the 1850 Census for the same area, however I have not yet been able to locate Benjamin M. Gramling on the 1850 Census for either South Carolina or Arkansas. Both Reuben and Benjamin are listed on the 1860 Census for the Cache Township of Greene County Arkansas. I believe that Benjamin M. Gramling may have preceded his father to Arkansas in the late 1850's. It would be a difficult trip from South Carolina to Arkansas by wagon in the 1850's, especially for a man in his late sixties.
