On this page are some old photos of my family and some information about Adam Trumbo and Andrew Foster Trumbo. If you have old photos from these same last names, let me know.
Adam Trumbo was born on May 6, 1790 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. He married Mildred Foster. She was born in February 1790 in Bourbon County and died April 19, 1835 in Sangamon County,Illinois. After her death he remarried Mrs. Hannah Hall May 1, 1836 in Sangamon County, Illinois; she died in January 1872. Adam died October 6, 1856. Adam and Mildred Trumbo had twelve children. In the Trumbo Family Cemetery at Springfield, Illinois located about three miles south of the junction of City Route 66 and By-Pass 66 south of Springfield (four blocks west of Route 66) He is also buried there. The first time Adam's name appeared in the tax records was in 1810 when the Bourbon County lists showed him owning two horses. He appears the next year owning two horses and thirty-five acres on Johnson Creek. In 1812 he was down to twenty-five acres on Green Creek but owned four horses, Apparently he paid all the taxes on his land and his brother's land in 1813 for he is listed with two hundred and three acres and had seven horses. Later Bourbon County tax lists from 1814 to 1828 showed him owning from two to eight horses and from one hundred twenty-eight acres to two hundred three acres on Green Creek, and from one to two blacks. His name appeared in most of the same deeds in Bourbon County as his brother Isaac. The last year Adam appeared in the Bourbon County tax records was 1828. He moved that year with his family to Sangamon County, Illinois into what is now Woodside Township. His slaves went with him and were free but stayed with him.
Andrew F. Trumbo was born near Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky, Oct. 24th 1825 . Mr. Trumbo moved with his father, Adam Trumbo, near Springfield, Illinois. He lived there untill a young man, getting what education he could and helping on the farm. From Illinois he moved to Missouri. December 24, 1859, he married Mary Susan Flournoy, who was born in Linn County, Missouri, July 21, 1842, the eldest daughter of William S. and Cornelia Flournoy. Andrew & Mary eventually had 10 children. He owned land in Linn County, Missouri and worked for Wadell Majors Fargo, a big company at Independence, Missouri. They ran ten thousand wagons for the government contractors in the west. He took thirty wagons over the plains at a time for a salary of $800. When the California gold fever broke out in 1849, he was one of the first to risk the dangers of crossing the plains. He crossed 7 or 8 times as a wagon master for those seeking gold. They lived in Linn County, Missouri in 1860. But after the Civil War, Mr. Trumbo and family with Mr. Flournoys family and other relatives, left Missouri and started across the plains. In April 1864 the family which now consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Trumbo and two children, Anna and George started for their new home. On the way little Anna became sick and died. But finally reached Grand Round Valley, Oregon where they remained for about four years and then moved to Sacramento Valley, California. Then later moved to South Fork, Modoc County in about 1878. Here their fifth child John F. was born about a year after they moved to Pine Creek.
Mrs. Trumbo, after lingering illness, died June 3rd, 1902. After her death , Mr. Trumbo left with his two youngest children, for the home of his daughter in Montana. Because of failing health, he also died, on Jan. 3rd, 1903. He left nine children, George Harness, of Republic, Washington; Mrs. Alice Parker, of Morris, Montana; Mrs. Lelia V. Fitzpatrik of Alturas, California; John F.., Bridger, Montana; Charles H., Paisley, Oregon; Ms. Maud E. Wilson of San Francisco California; William Spencer of Alturas California; Ms. Mable G. and Ora, of Loami, Illinois.
