  • G:\Trimble Families, July 22, 1997.Wpd
    Trimble Families a Partial Listing of the Descendants of Some Colonial Families Revised Eugene Earl Trimble July 22, 1997 1 PREFACE This Trimble record deals primarily with the ancestral line of the writer and covers the period from the time of arrival of James Trimble (or Turnbull; born ca. 1705; died 1767) in America which may have been prior to March 11, 1734, until in most instances about 1850. Some few lines are, however, brought up to the present. The main purpose of this account is to present the earliest generations. With the census records from 1850 on, enumerating each individual, it is much easier to trace ancestors and descendants. Any one who has researched a family during the l700's knows how limited the available data are and how exceeding difficult the task is. One inevitably reaches the point where the search becomes more conjecture than fact, but man is an inquisitive creature and the lure of the unknown is irresistible. No attempt has been made to give all possible references. For this Trimble line and other Trimble lines the reader is referred to the 62 page manuscript on the Trimble Family by James Augustus LeConte (born Adairsville, Ga., July 19, 1870; died Atlanta, Ga., July 18, 1941) whose papers are at the University of Georgia at Athens; the Trimble Family research located in the Manuscript Department of The University of Virginia, by Kelley Walker Trimble (born Feb. 21, 1884; died Route l, Staunton, Va., after Feb. 12, 1955); the Trimble and related research and writings of Mrs. Jerome A.

  • Trimble Family by J. A. Laconte, 1934 the Trimble Line Has Been a Strong
    Trimble Family By J. A. LaConte, 1934 The Trimble line has been a strong and prolific one. Judging from its record in America. All Trimble immigrants to America have come from Protestant North of Ireland, most of them from counties Amagh and Antrim. They fell into several groups of families and relatives, and in addition, a number of individuals who have not yet been related to any of these groups. One authority (Palmer & Trimble Genealogy, by Lewis Palmer, J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1875) claims that the family was of Cornish origin and that the spelling was originally Trumbald. Be that as it may, the American branches seem to trace back to Scotland, under that name, Trumbull, or Turnbull, the celebrated border clan of that name, probably fleeing to the North of Ireland following one of the Stuart uprisings, The older generations in America have been described as typically Scots in appearance–blue eyes, florid complexion and sandy hair, and usually sticky and if medium height. This description fits such of the old members of the several Trimble families whom I knew in my earlier years. Most of them were of the Presbyterian faith, though one group were Quakers. In 1719, following famine and oppression at home, a wave of emigration flowed out from the North of Ireland to America. The New England Colonies and New York were already settled and the immigrants poured into Pennsylvania, soon filling the new counties of Lancaster and Chester. Once fully started, this flow of emigration to America continued steady until the eve of the Revolution.

D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

  • The Formation of the Republican Party in Ohio
    The Old Order Trembles: The Formation of the Republican Party in Ohio by Thomas W. Kremm istorians disagree over the immediate cause of the Civil War, but most of H them concur that a major factor precipitating the conflict was the po- litical realignment of the 1850's. The established view of Northern politics in the 1850's holds that the Kansas-Nebraska Act introduced in Congress by Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas in 1854 destroyed old alignments and gave rise to the Republican Party which suddenly struck down the seemingly unchallengeable Democracy. The Kansas-Nebraska Act, only one of a series of outrages designed to extend the domain of slavery, finally united Northern consciences and committed them to stopping the expansion of slavery and containing it in the South. Former Whigs, shattered after their defeat in the 1852 presidential election, joined dissident Democrats and Free Soilers in the search for new organizations capable of wresting control from the Democrats. Some discovered it in Know Nothingism, but this was only a temporary and abnormal half-way house to Republicanism. This interpretation, although not without merit, fails to analyze adequately the traumatic political reorganiza- tion of the 1850's.1 In asking why voters deserted the Whig Party at the state level, instead of why the national Whig organization disappeared or why the Republican co- alition emerged, it becomes apparent that the slavery extension issue alone did not account for the realignment of the 1850's. Even though the slavery issue divided Northern and Southern Whigs, it did not necessarily drive Northern Whig voters from the party.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication tliat the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Public Canal Finance and State Banking in Ohio, 1825-1837 Harry N
    Public Canal Finance and State Banking In Ohio, 1825-1837 Harry N. Scheiber" Historians have recently given much attention to the active, formative role of state governments in the American economy before the Civil War.l The states exercised nearly exclusive control over many aspects of economic life, and in such areas as labor, banking, and corporation policy the federal government interfered relatively little. The consequence was considerable decentralization of power in policymaking, together with variations in policy from state to state.2 Perhaps in no policy area were variations so dramatic as in state legislation on banking. In some states banking was prohibited outright, while in others the state government itself established and operated banks, sometimes on a monopoly basis. Elsewhere, safety funds were established and banks required to meet minimum standards of specie reserve and the like; and in a few states, stringent regulatory policies were pursued, with public commissioners given considerable discretion in administering p01icy.~ This study considers another type of interaction between state government and privately owned banks: the deposit of state funds and their management by state officials and bank officers. Nathan Miller's exccllent analysis of the Erie Canal Fund in New York has demonstrated that when the Erie Canal, a unique financial success among American canals, produced large surplus revenues, the state government treated this surplus as a fund for development, depositing the money in selected banks and thereby providing reserves on which the banks expanded their note issues and commercial credit.' In this article, the comparable experience of Ohio-the first western state to under- take public canal construction-in the management of canal funds is the focus of attention.
