Reuben Marlow may have gone to Kentucky with his presumed sons Thomas and Allen. Certainly there was a Reuben Marlow in Knox and Whitley Counties who seems to have been associated with them for a time.[3][4] However, he would have been old enough he would more likely have been living with one of his children rather than moving on to escape a court case, so that it's possible the Reuben Marlow in Kentucky was another brother of Thomas and Allen.
