In the spring of 1833, following the Blackhawk war, he moved with his parents to Dixon Ferry on Rock River, Lee County, Illinois presently In 1831 Lee Co. was in Jo Daviess Co. In 1836 that part of Lee Co. was in Ogle Co.
Reuben R. Sackett had a brother named Alfred M. Sackett. The obituary of Alfred states that he was born April 17th, 1822 in Hamilton County, Ohio. Alfred accompanied his family on their moves and to Dixon where he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1835 age 13. In 1842 Alfred moved to Galena, Jo Daviess County, Illinois. On September 23, 1847 he was married to Louisa Leet assumably in Galena.
Apparently Samuel and Sarah lived in Dixon until 1847 then he and his wife appear on the 1850 census of Sangamon Co. Illinois with the family of Bazilla and Rosana Campbell.
In 1849 Reuben Sackett then 24 years old, went after gold in California. The story goes that he was up in the Feather River area In 1853 he returned to Illinois and lived in Galena a few years. While there he was married to Miss Elizabeth Rennick daughter of Francis and Margaret Rennick. Reuben and Eliza were married in the home of Alfred M. Sackett in Galena.
In 1855 Reuben is listed on the state census of Jo Daviess page 14 Line 22:
1 male between 20 and 30 [b. 1825-1835]
1 male between 30 and 40 [b. 1815-1825]
Reuben was 30 in 1855.
The Galena Gazette and Advertizer listed the following marriage:- November 20 1857 - Reuben Sackett of Freeport and Miss Elizabeth Rennick of this city.
Reuben and Eliza had nine children: Mame, Sarah Jane (Sadie), Rosella N. (Rose or Odie), Nettie L., Hattie E., Anna, Ida, Flora, Francis Reuben, William H.
