It is generally held that Reuben Gage was the child of David Aaron Gage and Esther Shipman Gage.

Reuben left New York, appearing in Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and several other states including Texas. He received a League of land in Bastrop County, Texas, from the Mexican Government, as part of the colonization of Texas circa 1835. He moved (back) to Arkansas, appearing in the 1840 Census, along with several of his children in Arkansas. Upon his death his wife Abigail Burleson Gage returned to Texas to live with their son Moses Gage for the remainder of her life.

Siblings include: Nancy Gage Burleson

Reported children of Reuben and Abigail (sources vary):
Rachel Gage 1792-Unk
Matthew Gage 1793-Unk
Moses Gage
Joseph Alexander Gage
David A Gage
Burleson Gage 1805-1853
Jonas Gage 1805-1890
Sally Gage 1810-Unk
Nancy Gage (possibly Vany Gage) 1813-Unk
Calvin Gage 1814-1849
Jesse Gage Abt 1816-Unk
Reuben Gage (per the Daughters of The Republic of Texas. We believe this is a mistake in the DRT Album probably referring to Burleson Gage whom they do not list as a child. Burleson had a child named Reuben )
