Adventurers of Purse and Person, revised and edited by Virginia M. Meyer (1974-1981) and John Frederick Dorman, FASG (1981-1987); Published by Order of First Families of Virginia, 1607-1624/5 (Third Edition 1987)

"John Trussell came to Virginia, 1622, in the Southampton and was listed, 1623/4, at West and Shirley Hundred, in what is now Charles City County. He was living there, 1624/5, aged 19, with Thomas Paulett when the muster was taken. On 12 Oct. 1635 he patented 200 acres in Elizabeth City County near the Back River and adjoining John Grew. This patent was surrendered and renewed in the name of John Graves. At Elizabeth City on 25 Jan. 1638/9 he deposed he was aged 36 or thereabouts. At the same time Samuel Nichols deposed that John Trussell had been undersheriff of Elizabeth City County and as such had sold the goods of Thomas Lee at outcry.

"Trussell next appears in Northumberland, created a county about 1644 from Indian district Chickacoan. Here he patented, 14 Oct. 1649, 400 acres on the "souther most side of Chicokolne river," adjoining Mr. John Mottram. On 7 March 1650/1 John Trussell, Gent., added 200 acres adjoining this, one of the headrights being Mary Trussell. Col. John Trussell and Gervase Dodson patented 1000 acres in Northumberland on the southeast side of Chickacone River, adjoining Jacob Coutanceau and Col. Mottram, deceased, 29 Nov. 1658.

"The earliest record of Northumberland County, 4 May 1644, names John Trussell as Commander of Northumberland. He deposed, 20 May 1653, that he was aged 50 or thereabouts. He served as Burgess for the county, 1649, 1651-52, and 1654-55. He was a justice, 1653, vestryman of Chickoan Congregation, Nov. 1653, lieutenant colonel, 1655, and colonel of militia, 1659.

"Administration of the estate of Col. John Trussell, deceased, was granted to Mary Trussell, the relict, 20 Feb. 1659/60. Mary, whose maiden name is not known, married (2), by 10 Feb. 1662/3, Robert Gooch."

Notes for Mary Claughton:

Mary may have been John's second wife, and is not proven to be Mary Claughton. Her surname is "unknown" or unsupported by known records. She married 2nd Robert Gooch by 10 Feb 1662/3. This theory may have been created based on the following:

3. John² Trussell II (John¹) was born Bet. 1640 - 1660 in VA, and died Bef. 16 Jan 1694/95 in Northumberland Co., VA. He married Elizabeth Chinn Bef. 1670, daughter of John Chynn and Elizabeth Travers. She was born Bef. 1654 in Morattico Creek, Lancaster, VA, and died Bef. 06 Dec 1698.

Notes for John Trussell II:

It seems likely that there was a Col. John Trussell born in the generation between the two listed here, as one is called Col. John Trussell in 1664, some years after the death of the first, and before the second is thought to have come of age.

only Daniel Trussell and Elizabeth are mentioned in one account.

From Adventurers of Purse and Person:

'... resided in Northumberland County "leaving divers children and his relict." On 16 Jan 1694/5 "Henry Hudson and Elizabeth his wife, late Elizabeth Trussell, widow of the said deceased," were ordered to return an inventory of John Trussell's estate.'

Notes for Elizabeth Chinn:

Elizabeth married 2nd Henry Hudson

Henry Hutson/Hudson were ordered by the Court in 1695 to submit an inventory of John Trussell's estate and property (Duvall, p 38)

Children of John Trussell and Elizabeth Chinn are:

7. John³ Trussell III (John², John¹) was born Abt. 1673, and died Bef. 18 Sep 1717. He married Jane <Unknown> Bef. 1710. She was born Bet. 1678 - 1690, and died Abt. 1721.

Notes for John Trussell III:

From Adventurers of Purse and Person:

'... sold to Thomas Barecroft, 20 Dec. 1711, the land inherited from his brother Robert, "formerly granted to Colonel John Trussell." On the same day, Thomas Barecroft sold 100 acres to John Trussell of St. Stephen's Parish. John Trussell married Jane ---, who acknowledged a deed given by him to Thomas Miller, Jr., 20 Aug. 1712. Trussell was dead by 18 Sept. 1717 when Jane was the wife of John Harding."

Notes for Jane <Unknown>:

Jane married 1st John Trussell and 2nd John Harding / John Harden. Her descendants from both marriages were in Chester Dist., SC and married into some of the same families. Nelda shared descendants of both branches. tnbrat2@bellsouth.net Oct. 2003

http://www.geocities.com/tnbrat2/hardin.html

Children of John Trussell and Jane <Unknown> are:

9. William³ Trussell (John², John¹) was born Abt. 1692 in St. Stephens Par., VA. He married Mary Spencer.

Notes for William Trussell:

From Adventurers of Purse and Person:

' ... as "orphan son of John Trussell," chose Henry Hudson (his step-father) as his guardian, 19 Nov. 1706, and was administrator of Hudson's estate, 16 Jan. 1716/7. On 13 Feb. 1748/9 administration on the estate of William Trussell was granted to William Trussell. The name of his wife is not known."

Notes for Mary Spencer:

Her name not proven.

Children of William Trussell and Mary Spencer are:

12. <Unknown>⁴ Trussell (John³, John², John¹) was born Bet. 1710 - 1717 in VA.

Notes for <Unknown> Trussell:

One of the listed sons of John Trussell III is likely the father of the branch that was later in Chester Co., SC, as John Trussell III's widow shared the same migration path with her second husband, John Hardin or John Harden or John Harding, and their descendants married common family groups.

Children of <Unknown> Trussell are:

15. John⁴ Trussell (William³, John², John¹) was born Bet. 1725 - 1733, and died 28 Feb 1754. He married Mary <Unknown>. She was born Bet. 1731 - 1735.

Notes for John Trussell:

This link is tentative.

Said by some to be John Trussell, b. 1733 in Fredrick Co. Virginia, who died 28 Feb 1754. His wife, Mary, remarried to Richard Rice.

It is not certain that the four Trussells that married Kays were siblings. It is certain that some were in Frederick Co., VA, where the South Carolina Trussells claim that an early family member was born.

The Kay family has long been associated with the Trussell family. In 1782, Robert Kay was listed in the Prince William County, Virginia tax rolls. Also listed were Thomas Trussell, Rhody Trussell, and William Trussell. In the 1787 Virginia tax rolls, Rhodam Trussell and William Trussell were still residing in Prince William County. Robert Kay, Sr. and his son James Kay were found in Frederick County (now Clarke County), Virginia. The property the Kays lived on was situated near the border of Loudoun County, Virginia. A Thomas Trussell family had settled just across the border from the Kays in Loudoun County. Trussells also lived on Broadmouth Creek in Abbeville County, SC, on land adjoining the Kays.

http://robertkayfamily.org/geneal.htm Went with the Virginia Blues under Washington in 1755 to the Indian Wars of Braddocks Defeat. He never returned and was never heard of again. "... died 18 Feb. 1754 leaving, by noncupative will, 25 Feb. 1754 - 13 May 1754, "the bed he then lay on" to his sister Hannah Trussell"

This man was thought by some to be the ancestor of Rhodam Amos Trussell or Rodham Amos Trussell. The first by this name, Amos Trussell, married Grace Kay.

Whether John was the son of William, and where the Rodham name came into the family, are not certain.

Notes for Mary <Unknown>:

Mary married 2nd William Rice

Children of John Trussell and Mary <Unknown> are:

17. James⁵ Trussell (<Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Bet. 1730 - 1750 in prob. VA, and died Bef. 21 Dec 1792 in Chester Dist., SC. He married Sarah Asher Bef. 1770 in Culpeper Co., VA, daughter of John Asher and Nellie <Unknown>. She was born Abt. 1750 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died 22 May 1808.

Notes for James Trussell:

http://www.reynolds-genealogy.com/sak8/trussell_p65.html also has much detailed info (Feb 2006)

By December, 1792, James Trussell has died intestate and the citation is read by William Woodward. The administrator's bond is signed by Sarah X Trussell January, 1793. The appraisal was made (filed?) Feb, 1793 and the estate sale held Oct 1794.

In 1788 John Hayes had deeded 150 Acres to James Trussell. This same land was later sold by heirs of the James who died 1792. Therefore the James of 1788 is the same as the James who died 1792.

1795 .... Sarah Trussell, widow, makes deed of gift to her children Asher, Susannah and Sarah Trussell.

November, 1805 .... Matthew and Sarah Trussell and William Kelly (son-in law to Sarah Asher Trussell / husband of Rachel) sign deed for land formerly belonging to James Trussell, deceased, and bind themselves that this includes the parts of (i.e.belonging to HK) Matthew, Sarah (widow of James deceased), William, Benjamin, James, Anna, Sarah, and John Trussell and William Kelly.

April, 1807, the same heirs as above, except that Anna is now married to James Euton and she and sister Sarah sign dowers, sell an additional 258+ acres belonging to James Trussell, deceased

March, 1808 ....Sarah Trussell, Sr of Chester Co sells land to Thos Cockrill..... Benjamin Trussell @ Moses Grisham, wit

March, 1808 .... Asher, Susannah, Sarah and Benjamin Trussell and James Euton, all of Chester, sell land formerly belonging to James Trussell, deceased

Fragment, undated: John Hays and James Trussell, consideration 1000 pounds. Release of Rights in certain lands to Thomas Baker Franklin, guardian of (rest missing, but probably Martha Trussell)

His farm was adjacent to John Liles and Agnes Cockerell Liles. Both of their estates were executed by William Woodward. William Woodward's daughter was married to Arromanus Liles Jr.

http://www.reynolds-genealogy.com/sak8/trussell_p65.html also has much detailed info (Feb 2006)

Notes for Sarah Asher:

There is a Sally Trussell on the 1810 Logan County, KY, census that may be this woman. Was her reported death date the date of her will?

Sarah Asher, James Trussell's mother, sold land out of her husbands estate (James d. 1792) to Thomas Cockril.

Children of James Trussell and Sarah Asher are:

18. Matthew⁵ Trussell (<Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Bet. 1730 - 1750, and died Bef. 01 Dec 1788 in Chester Co., SC. He married Frances Franklin, daughter of Thomas Franklin and Priscilla <Unknown>. She was born Bef. 1760.

Notes for Matthew Trussell:

There are no known direct Chester County references to Matthew. There are references to his widow and daughter Patty. Matthew's widow had remarried twice, and on the death of her third husband (in 1800, the same month his will is filed, naming Patty Trussell as step-daughter) "Patty Trussell, orphan of Matthew Trussell deceased" chooses Amos Tims as guardian. This means Patty was at least 14 (to be allowed to choose) and under 21 (to require a male guardian). The bond for that guardianship is dated 180__ (last number missing) and states Patty is about 20. So this Matthew had a child born ca 1780 - 1786, and would likely be of the same generation as James and William.

He is described in the Franklin genealogy as William Trussell, Jr. in this citation:

"scraps of paper in a mass of miscellany ... 1 Dec 1788 ...Thomas Baker Franklin as guardian ... rest missing ... Also scraps of estate of William Trussell, Jr., leaving a widow and one minor child. This I am sure is where Thomas Baker Franklin was named guardian of his niece, Martha Trussell. However not enough proof to state definitely but enough which tallies with later data, to make one reasonably sure."

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ffru/Docs/FFRU_back/andrea.pdf

However, on 23 Jul 1793, after Frances was widowed, a deed to Jonathan Dungan refers to land "now belonging to John Franklin, Thomas Baker Franklin, William Trussell, Jr. and Moses Grisham, etc."

Notes for Frances Franklin:

She married 1st Mr. Trussell, 2nd Maj. Grisham, 3rd Mr. Knight. Her mother's name may have been Priscilla Rogers.

Major Moses Grisham's will signed 16 Oct 1800, probated Nov. Court 1800. Wife, Frances Grisham. Children and all minors:

John Rogers Grisham, Thomas Baker Franklin Grisham, Priscilla Grisham, Frances Franklin Grisham, Sallie Grisham.

"My step-daughter Pattsey Trussell to share equal with my children."

Exec: Thomas Baker Franklin and Cornelius Dorsey

Wit: William Wood, Mary Franklin , John Dorsey

Child of Matthew Trussell and Frances Franklin is:

19. William⁵ Trussell (<Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Bef. 1735, and died Bet. 23 Apr 1808 - 1812 in Chester Co., SC. He married Susannah 'Suckey' Asher Bet. 1755 - 1770 in Frederick Co., VA, daughter of John Asher and Nellie <Unknown>. She was born Bet. 1740 - 1750, and died Bef. 10 Nov 1828.

Notes for William Trussell:

Thomas Franklin, with dower by his wife, Priscilla Franklin, signed 9 April 1786 for 138 acres of land part of an original grant to Thomas Franklin on Sandy River. Wit: Richard Evans, John Franklin, James Trussell.

William Trussell of Sandy River, will signed 7 Nov 1803 and probated Oct. court 1812. Wife, Susannah Trussell, my single children will have the home plantation when the mother dies:

Mary Trussell, Rachel Trussell, Susannah Trussell, Milly Trussell.

My married children will divide the rest of the property equal and deceased children, their children will take their shares, etc. Executor: my son John Trussell with Richard Evins and John Evins, Jr.

Wit: John Kennedy, Samuel Evans and Moses Evans.

The author of the Franklin genealogy insists this is the father in law of Frances Franklin, and that her husband was William Trussell, Jr. However, on 23 Jul 1793, after Frances was widowed, a deed to Jonathan Dungan refers to land "now belonging to John Franklin, Thomas Baker Franklin, William Trussell, Jr. and Moses Grisham, etc."

I believe that this man, himself, was William Trussell, Jr.

Children of William Trussell and Susannah Asher are:

21. Amos Rhodam⁵ Trussell (John⁴, William³, John², John¹) was born Abt. 1751. He married Grace Kay, daughter of Robert Kay and Priscilla Strother. She was born Abt. 1765.

Notes for Amos Rhodam Trussell:

Possibly Rodham Amos Trussell; Rhodam Amos Trussell; Amos Rodham Trussell

There is speculation that his real name was Rhodam Amos Trussell who was born ca 1751, the son of John Trussell and Mary (?).

Notes for Grace Kay:

One of Grace's brothers married Sallie Trussell; probably after moving to SC. That Sallie had a brother Posey Trussell is known because he d. without children, 1856, Anderson Co, SC, & left property to his sister Sallie Kay's children. annakay48@hotmail.com Kay Esberger, July 2001.

Children of Amos Trussell and Grace Kay are:

23. Catherine⁵ Trussell (John⁴, William³, John², John¹) She married William Kay, son of Robert Kay and Priscilla Strother. He was born Bet. 1775 - 1780 in Prince William Co., VA, and died Abt. 1854 in Anderson Co., SC.

More About William Kay:

Burial: Kay Cem. on Broadmouth Creek, Anderson Co., SC

Child of Catherine Trussell and William Kay is:

24. <Unknown>⁵ Trussell (John⁴, William³, John², John¹) was born Bef. 1754.

Notes for <Unknown> Trussell:

Two closely related Trussell women, probably sisters or cousins, had descendants marry and move to South Carolina. Since some married into the Kay family, as did others of this branch, this speculative placement is made to assist in research.

This could be Thomas Trussell or Rhodam Trussell, or both, fathers of Sallie and Peggy.

Children of <Unknown> Trussell are:

25. James⁶ Trussell (James⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born 11 May 1770 in Frederick Co., VA, and died 18 Oct 1860 in Lauderdale Co., MS. He married Elizabeth 'Betsy' Lyles Bef. 1798 in SC, daughter of John Liles and Agnes Cockrell. She was born 01 Jan 1781 in Chester Co., SC, and died 30 Sep 1830 in Greene Co., AL.

Notes for James Trussell:

http://www.reynolds-genealogy.com/sak/trussell_p107.html

His son, James Madison Trussell, left a diary which has been partially transcribed by SkyCastle48@aol Dannie (Jan 2003)

"My Father James Trussell was born in Frederick County Virginia the 11 day of May 1770 and was brought up in Chester District (new County) South Carolina And was baptized into the Baptist church ..."

"My Father had two uncles William and Matthew Trussell who settled in South Carolina and raised families. His uncle John Trussell went with the "Virginia Blues" under Washington in 1755 to the Indian War or Braddocks defeat and never returned to Virgina and was not heard of any more ... "

"I first heard my uncles tell about the battles they had been in under Jackson and Carroll in the Indian war and the great battle of New Orleans ... "

"In the fall of 1815 my Father moved to the head of Cahawba River in St. Clair County Alabama where I saw the first Indian which frightened me very bad and early in the Spring of 1816 sold his improvement and moved to Tuscaloosa County eight miles below the falls of the Black Warrior River."

"After we left Tennessee 1st January 1819 my Father with his family forded the Warrior River on his way to settle near the Tombigbee River near a large creek that is still called after his name."

Notes for Elizabeth 'Betsy' Lyles:

James' mother sold land out of her husbands estate (James d. 1792) to Thomas Cockril. Thomas likely was some relation to Agnes and owned other lands in that area.

"After John Liles' death in 1790, part of his estate was deeded to Daniel Trussell by Mourning Liles aka Mourning Trussell. This Mourning Trussell deed is around 1807, too early to be the Mourning Trussell, daughter of James and Elizabeth Liles Trussell. The elder Mourning Liles aka Trussell most likely would have been another daughter of John and Agnes Cockerell Liles."

Children of James Trussell and Elizabeth Lyles are:

27. William T.⁶ Trussell (James⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Bet. 1772 - 1783 in SC, and died Bet. 1830 - 1840 in SC. He married Sarah Eleanor McClurken Bef. 1812, daughter of John McClurken and Elizabeth <Unknown>. She was born 12 Mar 1784 in SC, and died 06 Jun 1881 in SC.

Notes for William T. Trussell:

He could have been born a few years earlier, and in Frederick Co., VA.

It is not certain that the descendants listed belong to this William Trussell. Rev. Oliver Evans McKeown was named guardian for William Alexander and Sarah Jane Trussell, children of the William born in 1824 and grandchildren of William T. Trussell.

William Trussell, designated "Junior" to distinguish him from William Trussell, his uncle, bought a mare and a Bible at the sale of his father's estate in 1794 Chester Co, SC. As one of the heirs of James Trussell, deceased, he signed with his mark with his brothers and sisters a deed on 28 January 1807, selling 250 acres to Charles H. Sims. Again, on 29 March 1808, when two tracts of land "formerly belonging to James Trussell, deceased" were sold to Thomas Cockrill, he signed as one of the heirs.

Notes for Sarah Eleanor McClurken:

Sarah Eleanor McClurkin

Children of William Trussell and Sarah McClurken are:

32. Benjamin⁶ Trussell (James⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born 1783 in Chester Dist., SC, and died Abt. 1850 in TN. He married Nancy Strickland in Marion Co., TN, daughter of John Strickland. She was born Abt. 1790 in NC, and died in Of Robertson Co., TN.

Notes for Benjamin Trussell:

A land record indicates that Benjamin Trussell and Nancy his wife sold land inherited by them from her father, John Strickland of Robertson Co. TN. Benjamin moved to a part of Tennessee that was disputed by Kentucky, and in fact his children are listed as having been born in Logan Co., Kentucky.

Notes for Nancy Strickland:

Though she has often been called Nancy Wright, this is an error. Helen Kirkendall kirk72@gulftel.com descends from this line (Jan 2002).

Children of Benjamin Trussell and Nancy Strickland are:

33. Sarah⁶ Trussell (James⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Abt. 1796. She married William Harris. He was born Bef. 1789.

Notes for Sarah Trussell:

Sarah is not certain to be a child of James Trussell and Sarah Asher, but is certainly closely related.

Children of Sarah Trussell and William Harris are:

38. Daniel⁶ Trussell (William⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Abt. 1760 in poss. Frederick Co., VA, and died Abt. 1815 in Carroll Co., GA. He married Mary Martha <Unknown> Abt. 1777.

Notes for Daniel Trussell:

Speculative link.

Daniel Trussell was deeded land from William Trussell on 24 Oct 1807. He was not listed in William's will, and may have been a cousin or nephew or grandson.

"In the 1800 Chester County, South Carolina census there appears one Daniel Trussell. In 1810 and 1820 there are two, both approximately of the same age. It is reasonable to assume that the Daniel Trussell in the 1800 census is the son of the above Daniel."

http://www.reynolds-genealogy.com/sak/trussell_p33.html

Note; Dates offered in that book indicate that the older Daniel was born by 1740 and his son by 1771-1773. If earlier, he could be a brother, and not a son, of his listed father.

Child of Daniel Trussell and Mary <Unknown> is:

39. John⁶ Trussell (William⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born Abt. 1770 in SC, and died 25 Apr 1836 in Clinton, Greene, AL. He married Annis Wright Bef. 1803, daughter of Clayborn Wright and Elizabeth <Unknown>. She was born Bef. 1788 in SC.

Notes for John Trussell:

Research Notes:

George McAliley (born in the 1780's) remained in Chester County, married a Miss Trussell, served as executor of his father's estate and appears on the roster of Captain John Walker's Company of the 1st Regiment of the South Carolina Militia during the War of 1812 (serving as a substitute for John Trussell, Sr., who some speculated was his father-in-law). George McAliley had three daughters, believed named Elizabeth, Milley, and Susa (possibly for Susannah), whose husbands were, not necessarily repectively, Hiram Miller, Ben McDonald and a Mr. Cook (who went west).

"George McAliley's children were born too soon to be grandchildren of this John Trussell. It appears possible that George was widowed at the time of the replacement and that George's three daughters were cared for by John Trussell and wife while George did the military service for some additional agreed upon fee.

"After that service two of George's daughters were cared for by his mother and property transferred to his mother for their benefit. The third daughter was believed to have been in the process of getting married and was provided her share around the time of the marriage.

"Some of this is in records and some of it is just speculation based upon what we do know about George and his wife Susannah. Susannah's purported parents had five daughters, Mary and then Rachel the two eldest. Susannah Trussell McAliley's three daughter bore the names of the other three daughters of William and Susannah Asher Trussell. We will presume this strengthens the likelihood of the claim that the daughter Susannah of William and Susannah was Susannah Trussell McAliley, at least in the majority of researchers' opinions."

Note: E. F. Trussell Age 86 yrs., 11 mos., 5 days died Aug. 20, 1887 and is buried in the same cemetery as Henry and some of his family, Lamon-Trussell Cemetery in Grenada Co., MS. Is this an earlier child, a later wife, of a daughter-in-law of this John Trussell?

Children of John Trussell and Annis Wright are:

40. Elizabeth 'Bettie'⁶ Trussell (William⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born 10 Oct 1788, and died 20 Oct 1871 in Gadsden Co., FL. She married John N. McKeown, son of Sam McKeown and Mary Seed. He was born 01 Jul 1793 in Chester Co., SC, and died 1836.

Notes for Elizabeth 'Bettie' Trussell:

After her husband died, she migrated to Gadsden County, FL with her children as a group with the Clark family.

Could the wife of McKeown be Elizabeth Trussell, born 23 Dec 1807 to John Trussell and Annis Wright, and neice of this Elizabeth?

Notes for John N. McKeown:

John was the administrator of the estate of Susannah "Sucky" Asher Trussell.

Children of Elizabeth Trussell and John McKeown are:

41. Milley⁶ Trussell (William⁵, <Unknown>⁴, John³, John², John¹) was born 1791 in Chester Co., SC. She married Jonathon Ellis, son of Theodore Ellis and Elizabeth <Unknown>. He was born 1791.

Children of Milley Trussell and Jonathon Ellis are:

42. Rhodam Amos⁶ Trussell, Jr. (Amos Rhodam⁵, John⁴, William³, John², John¹) was born Abt. 1795. He married (1) Elizabeth McAfee Bet. 1817 - 1818, daughter of Samuel McFee. She was born 1801, and died 1848. He married (2) Barbara Cox Harper Abt. 1849, daughter of William Harper and Barbary Cox.
