For Texas Trimbles, and any others interested: After these James Trimble had died in Sullivan County, IN, two of his sons and his widow moved to Texas with the wife of William James Trimble, and their 4 children. One more, Francis Marion, was born in Fayette County, TX. Thanks for looking for my Trimbles in adjoining counties; they lived in Fayette County, TX, and spread out all over from there. I found the family tree is somewhere on the FTM disks; mostly the Criswell family, and they seemed to fan out. One of the Trimble girls married a Criswell. Would like to see that family tree intact; just got a bit of it from the internet. Mrs. Amelia Trimble (widow of William James) married a Faith, and had at least one more child who inherited from her. I believe that her name was Evaline Faith. Mrs. Sarah Hinton (Trimble) (Handley) married again; she was the mother of William James and Edward Trimble, and she married a Samuel Miller, and is supposed to be buried beside him in Fayette County. Son of Wm. and Amelia, Francis Marion Trimble, was my g-grandfather, and married in 1868, and I think that they went to Fayette County; maybe were married there in 1868 or so, and then he moved to Menard County. Francis was the one who was in the Confederate Cavalry. He married Lucy A. M. Thames Skidmore, who must have been a widow. They had a large family together, but she died when my grandfather, Thomas Marion Trimble, was a child. Thomas Marion Trimble married Fannie Ruth ELLIS. The other children of William James Trimble and Amelia seemed to marry into the families that had guardianship of them, and there was a lot of court action about the small (it seems today) inheritance. William James Trimble's land was sold for $1.50 per acre; some reward for the service to his new country, Texas, for which he and his brother, Edward, died.
