NOTE - This census records provides some interesting and conflicting information. It shows a birth date of February 1847 instead of the previously thought year of 1841. It also shows that Reuben was married for 30 years. Is it possible that this marriage information was merely incorrect information coming from the staff at the State Hospital? Or did he actually marry sometime around 1869 just before he was declared insane and shows on the 1870 US Census already institutionalized? If he was married in 1869, then it must have been a very short period of time until he was declare insane.
