He was born around 1801 possibly in Russell, Scott or Washington Co., Virginia. No one seems to know his parents names. He married Lucy Burke on Feb 9, 1824 in Scott County, Virginia. He was the father of ten children: Susannah, James, Lydia, Mary A., Nancy, Thomas, John M, Lucy, Moses and Aaron. The family came to Pike Co. in 1833.

Reuben may have been a relative of Tempy McCormack who lived in Washington Co., VA and Sullivan Co., TN and was the wife of James D. Burk (b. 1802). If so, Reuben would have been a relative of Anderson S. Burk of Breeding, Adair Co., KY. There was also a Reuben Burk (1781-1850s) who lived in Sullivan Co., TN . Right now these are just theories and name associations. But, it is possible these families are connected through the Andersons of Washington Co., VA. Micajah McCormack Sr.'s wife was Francis "Fanny" Anderson. Perhaps, Reuben Anderson was a relative to Fanny. More research is needed on this Anderson family.
