    3. Dear Listers, I knew there was some reason I wanted to be on your list besides my search for Samuel Pryor, ca 1804. Here it is: My 1951 Navy buddy from Kansas (Donald D. Hilton) once mentioned that part of his family came from Trimble Co., KY. Lately, he sent me articles about them and a genealogy. His family were the Trimbles, and their genealogy goes back to 1732 in Armagh in North Ireland to five brothers. They were Presbyterians who went first to Baltimore, MD, the VA, WVA, Montgomery Co., KY, and Mt Sterling, KY (by 1814) and eventually to Kansas in more modern times. Also there is a copy of a long story, "Recollections of Breathitt" by J. Green Trimble at the age of 91, and an interview with JGT in 1917 in a magazine. I don't know who really owns the materials and the genealogy. They seem to be old enough to copy without fear of lawsuits. I am willing to make them available to the Trimble Co. Hist Society with Don Hilton's permission, which I am sure he will give. Thomas S. Fiske Arcadia, CA Author of Four on the Floor, The Courage Place, A Time to Heal & A Time to Judge
