He was on the 1840 census and 1850 Floyd County, Kentucky Census, then in 1860 on the Lawrence County, Kentucky Census. The census has him listed as a farmer.

Hicks who was born in Floyd County, Kentucky. In his pension papers he stated he was 76 years old in 1851. This researcher has a copy of Rueben's pension papers.
