CHRISTIAN TROUT
MD line, Elizabeth, W7326, BLW #35685-160-55, sol was b in 1753 at Sharpsburg MD and lived there at enlistment and after moved to BA and in 1822 he moved to Pike Co KY where he applied 6 Oct 1834 and died there 16 Jun 1847 and his wid appl 7 May 1850 in Greene Co IN aged 75 and she also appl there for BLW in 1855, soldier had m Elizabeth Geerhart 15 Sep 1795 in Rockbridge Co Va and a Joseph A. Steel and Mary Johnson were witnesses to her BLW application, in 1853 a son Lewis Trout was of Greene Co IN.

Christian Trout was born 1753 in Sharpsburg, Frederick (now Washington), MD and died June 16, 1847 in Pike County, KY. He seems to hav emoved from Washington County, Maryland sometime before 1787, at which time a "Christian Trout" first begins to appear in tax lists in Frnaklin County, VA through 1790, and then is recorded as having married Elizabeth Geerhart September 15, 1795 in Rockbridge County, VA. Christian Trout appears in a series of deeds in Tazwell County, VA in 1805, and appears in the Federal Census for that county in 1810. By 1820, he and his fmaily had moved to Scott County, VA, the ultimately moving on to Pike County, KY by 1822, where he later died on June 161, 1847. After his death, his widow Elizabeth eventually moved on to Beech Creek Township, Greene, IN, where she died sometime after August 20, 1855.

In his Revolutionary War pension application file (@.7326), Christian Trout reports that he was born and raised in Sharpsburg, Maryland and declares that in May 1778, he entered service (at age 25) in the local militia at Sharpsburg. His file reports his service as follows: May 1778, Private 6 months, Captain Joseph Chaplins' Compahny. Col. Jones' Regt.; March 1779, Private 3 months, Captain Aken's company, Col. Jones' rRegt.; October 1779, Private 6 months, Captain Christian Orendorf's Company, Col. Watson's Regt.; April 10, 1780, Private 6 months, Captain Sisox's Company, Col. Highter's Regt.

Christian Trout reports that most of his service involved either guarding British and Tory prisoners at Sharpsburg, Hagerstown, and at "The Barracks" in Frederick, MD, or in chasing Tories in Western Maryland and Northern Virginia.
The following is a transcript of his pension application dated October 6, 1834, and filed before the County Court in Pike County, KY. In accordance with the Act of June 7, 1832, he is also subjected to a standard set of questions before the open court. As was the writing style of the time, most sentences are run together, punctuation is often lacking, capitalization of words is almost entirely random, and double s's are written as fs (such as in the word "Congrefs"). The court proceedings are recorded by John D. Mims, Clerk of the Pike County Court, and as he listened to Christian's testimony, he frequently switches between the first person of the speaker and second person of the listener as he hurriedly attempts to record the rambling narrative. Quite understandably, some words appear to be missing, and some phrases seem incomplete or confused, but are here reported exactly as written. It should be recalled that Christian Trout was 81 years old at the time of the application, and he was attmepting to

From the notebook - "An Irish Legacy", by William Dunn

ALLIED LEWIS FAMILIES

The Lewis families of Madison, Iron, and Reynolds Counties are a prolific clan, which I could not cover
in a whole book, let alone a few pages, but I do have some points I would like to make.
In 1850 Madison County census, there were 5 families, three of which lived next door to each other that I feel
must have been related as mentioned previously. The other two I'm not certain of were Furney Lewis, born N.C.,
age 31, who had married Nancy Perringer in 1838, Madison County and had four children, John, 10, Amanda 7, Leonard 6,
and Martha 1 in the 1850 census. The other was John Lewis, 41 from S.C., wife Caroline 20, Laura 2, and John L. 5 mo.
I make this point because each had a son John that will later be important. The two families that were: #496-Jacob
Lewis-45-born N.C., Sarah 17 TN, Bidda 15, TN, Martha E. 13, Eli, 11, John Y., 9, & Catherine 7, all born TN, Hugh P. 5,
Polly Ann 4, James Millow, 2, and Emiline 3 mo. There was also Eliza J. 10, born TN, who belonged to Jacob but was in
John and Emiline's house; they had only been married in 1842, so couldn't have had a 10 year old child.
John & Emiline were #497, his age 30, born TN, she was 25, SC, with three sons: Eli, 6, MO, Levi 4, TN, and Libe 2, MO
(This should have been Robert, Leroy, and Eli.) #498-David Lewis, 35, NC, Nancy 35, KY, Oliver 10, TN, George 8, Alabama,
, Becky Ann, 6, MO, Mary 4, and J.B. & P.R. 5 mo. Old twins, all MO. George Lewis, who I think was also a brother,
was in Marion Co. TN (which was where John was from also) in 1850. His family: George Lewis , 48, Elizabeth, 47, John,
21, William, 16, Martha, 13, George, 11, Elizabeth, 9, Andrew, 6, and James, 4. There was also a son, Robert,
married and in Arkansas, two doughters, Mary and Catherine, both married, and 24 year old Ben, who was stayong with
Elihu Dunn and his wife Maria, in Madison Co., MO.
Toward the latter part of the 1850's, George and Elizabeth came to Missouri,
and settled at the mouth of Carver Creek, and one more child was born in Missouri.
George bought land from John and Emiline, and he died before 1860.

In 1860 Iron County census I found: the John Lewis from SC, who married Caroline, Robert Lewis, the son of Georg
who hac been in Arkansas, next door to him was John and Emiline Lewis, and next to them was Benjamin Lewis, son of
George also. Close by was John Lewis, Jr. (son of George) and wife Nancy, and closer to Annapolis was William Lewis
(son of George also) and finally Elizabeth Lewis, widow of George. I did not find David Lewis (who had been in 1850
Madison County census) nor his family again, but early land plats show David Lewis and Oliver Lewis (his son) owning
land right near John, George and all the other Lewises.

Other Lewis researchers in Missouri have mistakingly assumed that John (who married Emiline Dunn) was the son of George,
even though they found the two John's listed on the same census. I am referring here to the one listed as John Jr. who
was 26 in the 1660 census, wife Nancy, 25, Delia, 8, George, 6, James, 4, and Benjamin, 8 mo. Who was the real son of
George, and was in Marion County TN in 1850. Although there was a definite relationship between George and John
(who married Emiline), they were not father and son, but brothers. I will concentrate now on George's son Robert,
who has family connections with mine, but will first list all of George's children and who they married.

1. Mary, married James Hale and stayed in TN.
2. Catherine, married Robinson Griffith and stayed in Arkansas.
3. Robert, married Mary 'Polly' Griffith, and was in Arkansas before coming to Missouri.
4. Benjamin, married Oma Hewitt (He was in MO in 1850).
5. John (listed as Jr.), married Nancy ___?____.
6. William, married Abigail Johnson.
7. Martha 'Patty', married James Casteel.
8. Elizabeth married Thomas Jackson.
9. Andrew, married Angeline Rose.
