CONTRIBUTIONS TO A TRUMBULL GENEALOGY. 



Theke is probably no famfly among our early colonial and revo- 
lutionary stock which has contributed so many distinguished men to 
their country's service in so many widely varied walks of life as the 
Trumbulls — ^preSminent among statesmen, warriors, divines, poets, 
painters and historians, the fame of the family must still rest, as its 
most enduring monument, on the patriot Governor of Connecticut 
■whose nickname of "Brother Jonathan," affectionately given him 
by Washington, will ever stand as the prototype of American man- 
hood and patriotism. 

That so little has ever been done to substantiate the ancestry of 
so notable a family seems a grave omission on the part of our his- 
torians, and I esteem it a privilege to be able to throw some light on 
the obscurity which has thus far enveloped its origin. 

As is weU known to all who have taken an interest in the sub- 
ject, there were two John Trumbulls (or Trumble, as the name was 
then generally written) in the Massachusetts Colony at an early day, 
and there has been no little confusion regarding them among gene- 
alogists. As a matter of fact, however, there was no connection 
whatever between them, and nothing has ever been discovered that 
would indicate that they were even known to one another. They 
were: 

I. — John Trnmble, Cooper, of Roxbury in 1639, and among the first mem- 
bers of Mr. Eliot's Church there, and the following year (13 
May 1640) made freeman of Rowley. He brought to ^his country 
a wife JEUen and son John,* 

11. — John Trumble, Mariner, of Cambridge in 1636, was also made a 
freeman in 1640, and removed to Charlestown in 1655. He had 
wife Elizabeth ; perhaps married here.t 

There has always been a family tradition attributing the origin of 
one or both of them to Newcastle on Tyne in England, and this at 
length found confirmation in a power of attorney of Susan Blackiston 
of Newcastle on Tyne, widow, dated 27 August 1653, to Joanna SciU 
of New England, to recover for her, inter alia^ a debt dating from 
1637, of John Trumble, cooper, late of Newcastle on Tyne, and

now of New England.* This gave us the evidence that it was the 
cooper and not the mariner who was from Newcastle, while the will 
of William Kinge of Ipswich, Co. Suffolk, ship carpenter, f ^o which 
Mr. H. F. Waters kindly called my attention, must beyond doubt 
refer to the second John, the mariner, as we now know the wife of 
the former to have been a Chandler. 

It has been my great good fortune to locate one of these with 
absolute certainty, and the other beyond a reasonable doubt, although 
some further evidence is needed as to the last. 

Being recently in the North of England I made a careful examina- 
tion of the Consistory Court of Durham, the results of which are 
printed herewith, but they are most disaf^intin^, as ike Trxxwi^oH. 
wills were few and these few yielded but littfe information. TMs 
task completed I had but one day to spare, having to keep an ^ 
pointment at the Probate Court at Lichfield, and I resolved to devote 
it to a Parish Register isearch ctf Newcastle. This important aiid 
populous city contains no leis© than four Parish Ohorches, and k was 
manifestly impossible to see them all in a day. Beasofiing fi[*om 
analogy that if our man was a cooper he would probably have re^ 
sided near the wharves and shipping, I selected the church neaSrest 
the river (All Saints) to begin wiSi, and my delight may be im- 
agined when I found, in rapid succession, the marriage of John 
Trumble and Mlinor Chandler in 1635, the baptism of his daughter 
Beriah in 1637, and his son John in 1639. The burial of Beriab, 
four months after her baptism, leaving the ftrmily as we first find it 
in America, makes the identificiation complete, and fixes the date ^f 
the emigration within a few months. 

The remainder of the day was spent in exhausting the RegisteE, as 
far as time permitted, of all entries of the name, but in Spite of the 
large number of these found, the result, as far as this partioulfitr 
family is concerned, is somewhat meagre. The records only com- 
mence in 1600, and the only baptism which could, chronologically, 
have been that of our man, is John the son of James in 1612, and I 
have serious doubts as to their identity for this reason — John Trum- 
ble of Rowley was evidently a man of more than ordinary education 
and intelligence, he wrote a clerkly haild (no common accomplish- 
nient in those days), was Town Clerk of Rowley until his death in 
li656, and taught the first school there ::{ biit James, the ftither of 
the John baptized in 1612, is recorded as a "Kielman," that is, he 
occupied the humble position of a labbrer on one of the keelboats ^r 
lighters used in loading vessels or conveying freight about the 
wharves, and it does not seem likely that a man in his position could 
haVe given his son the education whi<3h we know the emigrant to 
have possessed.

The other three sMicient papHbahea of Newcastle may, however, give 
U8 the parentage of John Trmnble which All Saints denies us. 
Thej are St, A^d^ew's (Jleg. 1597), St, John's (1587) and St. 
Nicholas (1558), the Utt^if being the mother church. Gateaheiwi 
in Durham, ou the opposite bank of the Tyne and integrally a part 
of Newcastle, the JE^egi^t^i: of which dates from 1559, dfiould also be 
examined. The parentage of EUinor Chandler, which was not foun^d 
at All Saiat?, should ^Iso b^ sought in all of these. 

It may be, however, that we must look fiurther afield and apross the 
Scottish border. It hm always been believed that the TrumbuHs 
of England were descended from the brokei;i remnants pf the once 
powerfiil border claii^ of TurabuU, whose romantic o^in is so well 
fcuown,* ^^id which, h^M^ied in turA by Scotch and I^glish forays, 
was finally broken i^ip ancj scattered. I;i 1545 the EngUsh burned 
no ieas than twelve castles and two towns of the cia,n in the Valley 
of the Eule,f ^4 although the Barony of Mynto remained vested in a 
^hief of the nam^ until the Dftiddle of the 17th century, J the poweir 
qf the claii was b]foke;ij^ and it w^s thenceforward hut a shadow of 
its former self,

The ^dventiire took place in the forest of Callender, near Stirling, and its da|;e is ap- 
wnoximatelY fixed by a grant frpm King Robert Bruce in 13 Id of lands in Fulhophalch {i,e. 
^hphaugh, a short diptanqe west of the Rule), to Willielmo dicta Tyamefmlli for "a redden^ 
of one broad arrow at the feast of Che Assummion of the Virgin Mary.** (Reg. Mag. Sig., 
B. 6). He w^ slam nit t^ battle of Hulidon Hill in 1333 in a single combat with Sir Robert 
Benh^Ie, a l^orfolk knjght. (Putchinson's Northumb., ii., 70; Ridpath's Border Hi@t«> 
2i30 

Walter Tumbull, probably son of the above, was early in the possession of li^ynto, po 
long held by the family, and which was confirmed to him, or a descendant of the same 
name, by King David III. in 1370. (Robertson's Index, p. 33, No. 48). Before the middle 
of the 15th century they had obtained the Barony of Bedrnle (Stoddard's Scottish Arms, 
ii., 49), having by this time become a powerful border clan and rivalling the Mo^s Troopers 
of Liddesdale in audacity and daring. In 1510 their excesses had become so great that the 
King of Scotland marched with an army to the waters of Rule and executed summitry 
jastice on the clan. (Jefferey's Hist. Roxborough, 330.) This blow and a deadly vendetta 
with the Kers, aided the border warfare in weakening and finally breaking up the clan, 
^he )ast wbo clamed ^e chieftainship, ^f);er the failure of the direct line of Mynto and Bed- 
rftlp, w^ a ^ohn Tumbull of Know, about 1672-78. (Stoddard, ii., 60.)

The alien tax in the Lay Subsidies at the Public Record Office in 
Fetter Lane, the results of a brief examination of which are printed 
herewith, seems to clearly indicate the Scotch origin of the Trum- 
buUs, and so to point out to the Clan Tumbull of Bedrule as the 
progenitors of the race. 

We will now turn to John Trumble the mariner. Being engaged 
one day in a search of the Baptismal Registers of St. Dunstan'e, 
Stepney, London, my attention was attracted by the occurrence of 
a family of the name, and I believe that John the son of Robert 
Trumble, mariner, of Wapping, who was baptized 25 Sept. 1608, 
will prove to be the John Trumble of Charlestown, who in 1665 
was 48* and in 1686 was 80,f according to his own depositions. 
These last dates are utterly irreconcilable, and we can only conjec- 
ture that the first of them should be 1655, or that his age should 
have been 58 instead of 48, to make them harmonize with each other. 
Admitting this error, they are, taken in connection with the mari- 
time profession of the father, most suggestively near to the date of 
baptism as given : while the statement of Savage, that he was in 
his 80th year at his death in July 1687, exactly tallies with the 
baptism. I 

Robert, the father, unfortunately died intestate in 1614,§ but the 
will of the mother, Judith, may yet be foimd, or some further and 
more exact reference from some of the King, Hichman or Sandwell 
families. || The wills at Bury St. Edmunds should also be seen in 
this connction, while a further examination of the Stepney Regis- 
ters for Marriages and Burials might, and most probably would, 
demonstrate or disprove the theory I have promulgated. 

There was a family of Trumbulls of London, fishmongers and 
shipowners if not mariners, in the 16th century, whose wills in the 
Pre. Court make a very good pedigree of four generations,** and 
whom I have suspected to be the prepositors of Robert of Stepney, 
but no confirmatory evidence has yet been found, and I believe that 
their place of origin will be finally located in Suffolk or Essex, pro- 
bably derived, like the Newcastle family, from the Clan TurnbuU.' 

In the meanwhile I submit the results of my stray gleanings during 
the last half dozen years in the English fields in the hope that other 
than the two grains of wheat which I have pointed out may be 
found among the chaff, and may prove of service to some co-worker 
in the cause.

gate. See his will in P. U. C. 1569. 

t Also daughter of Thomas (above named). Note bequest to Church of St. Marga- 
ret's in will cited. As there is no such parish as "St. Margaret's in brigge streat" and 
as New Fish St. was close to London Bridge, we cannot doubt that St. Margaret's New 
Fish Street was intended. Perhaps the nomenclature of the street had been altered between 
1569 and 1587.

1604— Trumbull contra Gippes— B. & A. T. 3, 62. 

Emm Trumbull of London widdowe of Emanuell Trumbull who be- 
ing indebted 1 June 39 Eliz. to George Gippes* Citizen & ffish- 
monger of London, thirty pounds, gave recognizance penal in the 
some of three skore pounds for payment. Said Emanuell had 
shopp &c in the parish of St. Magnus in Newe ffish strete, Lon- 
don, of the value of tenn pounds by the yere. By his last will he 
bequeathed it to Complainant and did make her sole executrix. 
Compiaynant hath instantly laboured with Gipps for the redemp- 
tion thereof and is ready to paie the money that remayneth vnpaid 
of the said threeskore pounds and reasonable costs. But Gipps 
doth threaten and pretend to take the whole benefy tt and advantage 
of said premises att the rate of ffower pouuds p ann. 
Gipp's Answer. — The money was lent about iTourtenne yeares ago 
by one Cibill Chelsam late of London, widdowef sister to said 
Eraanuell Trumbull. He gave her an obligation 28 Jan^ 32* 
Elizabeth. This doth belong vnto Edward Chelesham, Cibill 
Chelesham and Elizabeth Chelesham, the sonne & daughters of 

said Cibill Motherlesse Orphaiits by one Cibill Hall, 

grandmother to said Cibill Chelesham,} who haue suffered much 
wroiige both by said Emanuell Trumbull, Complaynants husband 
and by CompP herselfe. By Defendants good meanes, beiuge 
vnckle to said Orphan ts, satisfaction of debt due to said Orphants

1604— .Trumbull contra Edmonds— B. & A. T. 8, 62. 

Emm Trumbull of London wydowe of Emanuell Trumbull for her 
selfe and on behalf of her daughter Mary Trumbull. John 
Edmonds in his lief tyme in his fatherlie care towards yo' Oratrix 
did bequeath to said Oit^ fifty pounds, said Edmond being her 
late father, not to come into the hands of her husband but for tbe 

• George Gfppes, I am informed by my friend Dr. J. J. Maskett, who is thorongtaly 
conversaut with tlie families of Suflfoils, was a native of that county and had relations llviag 
there.

and Elizabeth Tiirneball, 1587.

vse of her selfe and children in case of necessitie — it being in 
trustees hands and bringing four pounds interest yearly. He 
made will 12 Jan^ 1598. He had messuages and tenements in 
St Dunstan's in the East by lease of the fishmongers company. 
Said Emanuell died last Michaelmas. Executors refuse to pay 
the money. He had also, 14 June 42 Eliz"*, four tenements in 
Little Holland, co. Essex, bringing twenty pounds g ann. He 
borrowed mone of one George Turfelt and gave bonds. Said 
Rich*^ Edmonds"*^ pursuaded him to convey messuages to him as he 
could not pay, pleading affection of a brother (as he was to yo' 
Oratrix). Oratrix offers to pay; he refuses to return the bonds. 
Defendant's reply.— John Edmonds was of the Misterye of fish- 
mongers of the Cittye of London. He demised said messuages 
to one William Beale, and made Henry Edmonds and Richard 
Edmonds, theis defendants, his Ex^". A mere legacy should be 
sued for in the Ecclesiastical 1 Courts and not in this honorable 
Courte. Compl' is in decayed estate and greatlye indebted : so 
as if Defendts shoulde delyver vnto her said fifty pounds it should 
be vtterly wasted. It was not for all her children: twenty 
pounds were also bequeathed to Mary Trumbull her daughter. 
They will willingly pay these sums to suche psons as this Courte 
shall awarde. Trumbull was much indebted to this Def^ and 
made default of payment. John Edmonds left the money to 
Richard Edmonds and not at all to the said children.f 

* Sic. — ^It is the first mention of bis name. 

t These are the only instances of the name of Trumball in this coart daring the period 
examined.
