Hello Hessians - here is a TRUBEY interesting Hessian story - full of information. (Daniel DRUBE, Hetrina II, Kassel Regt. von Bose, JSHA 1993) forwarded by John Merz: From: "Doug" <iceman61@localnet.com> Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 1:31 PM > ==================================== > Source: PA-FRANKLIN-SNOWHILL-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: PA-FRANKLIN-SNOWHILL-D Digest V04 #49 > > Dear Listers, > > Something I found in a web search. Is this the same Davis STONER? > > John L. Metcalf, jlmetcalf@earthlink.net, Aug. 22, 2003 - TRUBY/TRUBEY > > My great great great grandfather, Daniel Truby (later spelled Trubey), moved to Stark County, Ohio about 1834, along with his wife, Mary (Stoner) Trubey. They moved there from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where they were both born. They had a total of 11 children, and I am descended from their 4th child, also named Daniel. Daniel and Mary moved on to Huntington County, Indiana, about 1847, and then back to Defiance County, Ohio, about 1866 where he and Mary lived with their son, John Trubey. Daniel died in Defiance and is buried in Independence Cemetery, Richland Township, Defiance County. Mary then went to live with her daughter in Richardson County, Nebraska, where she died 3 months later. In addition to Daniel, his brother Jacob Truby also moved to Stark County, Ohio, where Jacob was a Justice of the Peace, and Jacob died in 1835. Both Jacob and Daniel are mentioned in the History of Stark County, though Jacob and his son Jacob Mobley Trubey were more prominent. ! > On September 21, 1825, Daniel Truby was one of the sureties on the estate of his father-in-law, David Stoner (Franklin Co., PA, Will Book C, Page 756). Daniel signed as one of the heirs of David Stoner, and Mary "Polly" Stoner Truby marked as another heir (Franklin Co., PA, Deed Book 14, pages 197 and 327). Daniel Truby was also mentioned as an heir to his brother Jacob's estate in 1835 (Stark Co., OH, Administration Dockets Book E, pages 95 to 102). > > My original information came from "History of the Trubey Family" by B. A. Trubey, copied and expanded by Clarence O. Trubey. Barevius Augustus (B. A.) Trubey, 1860-1944, was the grandson of Daniel Truby and personally knew him. B.A. Trubey identified Daniel and Jacob (and their siblings David and Nancy) as the children of Jacob Trubey and his wife "Miss Mawk" who lived in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. This elder Jacob was identified as a former Hessian soldier. However, what records are in Franklin County only identify yet another Daniel Trubey (who died about 1806-07), and we now know that his wife was Margaret Mack, great granddaughter of Alexander Mack, Sr., founder of the Church of the Brethren. Later, Daniel Truby is listed as son of Margaret (Mack) Truby on a division of part of her father's estate, Jacob Mack -- "Deed of Sale from the Executors of Jacob Mack [viz. Samuel Royer and John benedict] to Samuel Needy," 2 April 1835 (recorded 14 January 1836), Franklin! > County, Pennsylvania, Deed Book 17:34. > > Note that the first Daniel Truby may, repeat MAY, have been a Hessian soldier named Johann Daniel Drübe, but we may never know for sure. > > My other major source, other than documents I obtained from various microfilm sources, is "Daniel Trubey of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, The First Four Generations" First Edition, compiled by Alycon Trubey Pierce, ©2000, Willow Bend Books, Westminster, Maryland, ISBN 1-58549-626-X.
