Al.L.KN Tmuiii.K. Autobiography of Allen Trimble Al.l.KN Tmuiii.K. Autobiography of Allen Trimble. At the request of my family, I have prepared the following account of my ancestors, as derived from the two past genera­ tions:1 My paternal grandfather, John Trimble,' with three brothers, emigrated from the North of Ireland to America, in the early part of the 17th century. Their ancestors were of Scotch descent, disciples of the great reformer, Knox, and deeply imbued with the religious zeal and uncompromising spirit of that extraordi­ nary man, and had witnessed and felt the consequences of the bloody scenes that followed the Reformation; and .although the victory of King William, at the great battle of Boyne, in 1688, gave the Irish Protestants some relief from Catholic persecution, they continued to feel that they had held liberty and property - by a precarious tenure; and many of their descendants deter­ mined to seek, a home in the New World, where it was understood religious freedom could be enjoyed. Among the emigrants of this period were the Aliens, Andersons, Brattons, Bells, Browns, Christies (or Christians, as they were, called), Craigs, Crawfords., Estells, Gambles, Moors, Moffats, McDowells, McClures, McCues, McNairs, Matthews, Poages, Prestons, Robinsons, etc. 'Most of these, after a few years resi- 1. The following manuscript was found among the papers in the secretary of Gov­ ernor Trimble during the summer of 1905. He did not tell any member of his family that he had complied with the request so often made oi' him to put into writing the incidents of his eventful life. His granddaughter, Mary McA. T. Turtle, and his grandson, Henry B. Thompson, have prepared and edited this material. 2. The name of Tumbull, from which Trimble is derived, was given to one William Rule in 1296, who had sworn fealty to Edward, and who saved the life of King Bruce, a gallant exploit. While hunting, the King was attacked and unhorsed by a wild bull, but was saved from death by this Wm. Rule, who threw himself between the King and the wild animal, seized It by Its horns, overturned and killed it. The coat of arms repre­ sents the bull's head on a ground of ermine. Motto: "ServavtRegem." The Tremble arms show a crest upon a shield. Creet. An eagle rising from a crown of plumes. Motto: " Malo Mori Quam Foedari. The coat of arms which has been handed down in the family tradition being Identical with the device used by the Trumbulls of New England, both names Trimble and Trum­ bull, said to be corruptions of the original Scotch Tumbull.—" Americans oi' Gentle Birth." Mrs. H. D; Pittman, St. Louis, 1M2. 2 Autobiography of Allen Trimble dence in Pennsylvania, joined the tide of emigration to Virginia and were among the first settlers in the Valley, between the North and South Mountains, comprehending the County of Augusta, then the frontier county of the .colony. John Trimble arid one of his brothers, James, I1 think, were among the adventurers, but the other brothers remained in Penn­ sylvania. The privations and hardships incident to the settlement of a new country were greatly increased by the dangers to which the first settlers were exposed. Although the Indian tribes had. retired to the Ohio, and to the country north-west of that river, they claimed that their hunting parties occupied the entire region.north-West of the Allegheny, and they made frequent attacks upon the settlements east of the Blue Ridge and in the Valley from Winchester to the James river, and the inhabitants were forced very often to abandon their im­ provements and protect themselves by erecting Block-houses. Here several families could congregate and together defend them­ selves against the sudden attacks of the enemy. This state of things continued several years previous to 1760 and afterwards up to 1774. When General Lewis, with his Western Virginians, called Virginia Brigade, in the hard fought and bloody battle at the mouth of the Great Kanawha, defeated the combined forces of the North-west Indians, under Logan and the Chief called "Corn-stalk", a temporary respite followed. Peace was imme­ diately afterwards made by Governor Dunmore with these tribes at their towns, or more properly called "villages'', on the Scioto river at Doit Charlotte, R. Mausais, and also the old town noW called Chillicothe (then only an Indian lodge), where they raised their teppees. Thus were those pioneers of the border of Virginia schooled for the trials they underwent during the Revolution. For as soon as the war commenced between the Colonies and the Mother Country, the savages commenced hostilities anew under the pro­ tection of the British Government; and from 1776 to 1784 con­ tinued to war against the whites, and were not subdued until de­ feated by General Anthony Wayne in the memorable battle of the Maumee River, of the Lake, in 1794. Governor Dunmore, with the main body of the army, marched from Richmond by Winchester to the mouth of the Little Kana­ wha, intending to drop down and join Lewis at Point Pleasant. Autobiography of Allen Trimble. 3 But the Indians, aware of the movement oi the army, supposing Lewis to be off his guard and on the Ohio, above the Point, attacked him before the arrival of Dunmore and were defeated, although Dunmore did not come tb his rescue. To continue with the history of our ancestry. My father, Jamejs Trimble, was born in 1753, near Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia. He was the only "child of John Trimble and his wife, Polly Christian, who had been previously married to John Moffitt.3 She had several children, namely, George, Robert William, Katherine and Hannah Moffitt. About the year 1763, a party of Indians from the Wyandotte tribe, north-west. of the Ohio river, under the command of a white man called Dickerson, made an excursion to the settle­ ment in Augusta, County Va., killed several persons and took some six or eight prisoners. My grandfather was killed and my father and his half-sister, Katy, the wife of Benjamin Estell, and also a negro boy, were taken prisoners, but grandmother and an apprenticed woman escaped. Dickerson, after plundering the house of what could be packed on four horses which he reserved, killing the balance of the stock, both horses and cattle,-and burning the houses and bams, then made a hasty retreat. George Moffitt (before named), raised a party of twenty-five men and on the following day was in pur­ suit of the Indians. But Dickerson having a day and night the start of him, and travelling both night and day, 'was not over- taven until he had crossed the Allegheny Mountains, and this was a great advantage to the Indian, marauders. Oh the fifth day, the. Indians, supposing themselves beyond pursuit, for the first time encamped for the night. Moffitt and his party came upon them unexpectedly and after a short conflict drove the Indians from their encampment and recovered the prisoners with­ out any loss, the negro boy only being wounded. One Indian was left on the ground and several, as afterwards understood, were wounded. Moffitt and his party encamped on the battle ground. The next morning, after collecting the horses and,baggage, he began to retreat. Dickerson followed and during the day, whilst cross­ ing the White Mountains, shot one of Moffitt's men, wounding 8. 'Among the stored away correspondence of these early days is a letter from Geo. Moffitt, June 23, 1801. from Augusta County, Va., to his brother-in-law. Captain James Trimble. A very religious spirit prevades thle letter, which closes with the Master's words, " I am come that ye might have life, and that ye might hare it more abundantly." 4 ' Autobiography of Allen Trimble. him severely, so much so that he was carried on a bed to the settlement. After the return of Moffitt and his party, with the prisoners, the neighbors collected and put up a small house for the discon­ solate widpw and her little family and furnished them with the necessaries of life until they were able to supply themselves upon their own farm. I have often heard my grandmother speak of an incident that occurred at that period which she regarded as a special interpo­ sition of Providence. And this is the story which she said was true: 'The evening after the family went into the new cabin, the negro, woman, a native of Africa, came to her mistress and told her that a cow stood at the gate. As all of their cattle had been killed by the Indians, her mistress told her that the,cow must belong to some of the neighbors and that she should drive her away. The order was obeyed, but the next morning the plaintive low of the poor cow was heard at the gate again. They drove her some distance in the direction from which she came, after having supplied themselves with milk. This was done for several days, the cow still returning. Then notice was sent to the different settlements of the stray cow, but strange to relate, no owner came to claim her. She gave a rich supply of milk for eight months. Then, what is the most strange part of this episode, when a cow was obtained by the family, the stray cow left, and was never again seen, or even Iteard of, either by the family or, indeed, by any of their friends or neighbors. Was not this a strange and kind gift of Providence? It im­ pressed me when I heard it from grandmother, so much that I have never forgotten it, nor do I think any one will forget it who hears it related.

  • 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.

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.
