Reuben was an infant when he traveled with his mother and her family to Utah. His father died in 1851and five siblings all died in infancy. He later married Mary Lucinda Hurst in 1874 and they appear to have had at least 12 children. 

Birth date and death date listed were found in a personal, online family history record (such as Family Tree, Ancestry, or My Heritage) without any accompanying documentation. Further research is needed to verify its accuracy.
