| Biography Notes |
* His mother died when Fred was only 18 months old and so he was brought up by his grandparents Ellen and George Matthews until he was 17 years old - ie there were two Reubens in the Matthews family.
* At 17 years, he joined his father in Leeton, NSW.
* He later went to Bringalbert to purchase land which had been selected by George & Ellen.\
* Also bought some other land.

| Biography Notes |
* There is some error in how we have recorded Reuben James or John Matthews "nee" Jewell since his birth parents - were Frederick James Jewell & Johanna Elizabeth (nee Barrien) (source family search). It is clear that (a) His mother died when he was 18 months old, (b) He was in the care of his uncle & aunt, George Matthews & Ellen (nee Jewell) from 18 months to 17 years and (c) After that, he went to live with his father in Leeton - so the Leeton location should confirm who his father was.
