John Haddon Trimble was my g-g-g-grandfather. His father was Moses Trimble (son of James and Grace Trimble who migrated first to Lancaster Co., PA, then to present-day Augusta Co., VA, and then to the Carolinas). Moses received land in Georgia and moved there after the Revolution. There is some question as to the name of Moses Trimble's wife, but I believe David Trimble lists her in his book as Catherine Lewis, daughter of Philip Lewis and Sarah Shearman. I don't know where the "Haddon" came from in John Haddon's name. John Haddon Trimble was a clerk of court in the early days of Franklin Co., GA, and died quite young, leaving several children.
I'm descended from John Haddon Trimble's son, Milton C. Trimble of Carroll Co., GA. Milton and his wife, Elizabeth Susan Copeland, raised my grandmother after her parents died when she was very small.
Moses Trimble; About 1754 to about 1828 , Virginia > Georgia3001
"The record here given of the descendants of Moses Trimble was furnished by Dr. David Buchanan Trimble of San Antonio College, San Antonio, Texas. This record, in all probability, is the most complete listing yet prepared of the descendants of Moses Trimble, Revolutionary War veteran.
Dr. David B. Trimble, professor of History, has furnished much valuable data on various Trimble families for which this compiler (Eugene E. Trimble, Kensington, Maryland) is most appreciative. In 1956, the following inquiry was addressed to Dr. Trimble:
"In the LeConte History of the Trimble Family, Mr. LeConte states that Moses Trimble, Revolutionary soldier of S. C. and Ga., was a brother of John Trimble, Revolutionary soldier who received grants of land in Dekalb Co., Ga. It is further stated that both Moses and John were sons of James and Grace Trimble (or Turnbull) of Augusta Co., Va. and Abbeville Dist., S.C. Is this in agreement with the records you have? Do you have evidence to prove or disprove this relationship?"
Dr. Trimble answered as follows:
"I have never seen any further proof than Dr. LeConte offered for the fact that Joseph, James, Moses, and John Trimble of S. C. and Ga., were the sons of James and Grace Trimble of Augusta County, Virginia, and Abbeville, S. C. However, from the fact that they were so closely connected in time and place, I do not doubt that he is correct. Neither do I have much doubt that Walter Trimble who moved to East Tennessee after leaving S. C., and John Trimble who remained in Augusta County, Virginia, and died in 1790 were brothers of James of S.C. Whether they were related to the other Trimbles of Augusta County I have no idea, although the names are similar - James, John, and Moses."
G1. Moses Trimble born in Virginia (Red River County, Texas, 1880 pension record of his son, Elisha Trimble,) probably about 1754. He probably lived in Mecklenburg County, N. C., from about 1755 to 1764 (Agusta County, Va., Deed Records; Pension Record of John Trimble,) when the family moved to Long Cane Creek near Abbeville, S. C. (S. C. Memorials.) He served under Elijah Clarke in the American Revolution and was granted land by the state of Georgia for his services (Certificate of Service, Atlanta, Ga.; Georgia land grants.) He lived in Wilkes/Elbert County, Ga. (Deed records; Land Grants.) from the Revolution to about 1791, when he moved to Frankin County, Ga., and about 1810 he moved to Jasper/Newton County, Ga., (he was living in Jasper County, Ga. in 1820 (1820 Census, p. 124.) He drew land in the 1827 lottery (Lottery records.) His will is recorded in Newton County; he died in 1828. He was married about 1788 in Wilkes/Elbert County Ga., to Catherine Lewis (born North Carolina about 1769; died after 1840,) she was the daughter of Philip Lewis (who died in Elbert Co., Ga. about 1820) and Sarah ------- (who died in Elbert Co., Ga., 1824.)
Mr. LeConte wrote of MOSES TRIMBLE as follows: (certain corrections have been made. EET):
"Returning to the children of James and Grace Trimble: Moses Trimble, son of James and Grace, seems to have been single through the Revolution. He seems to have served through the first part of the Revolution with South Carolina troops and about 1780 shifted to the Georgia forces. The following from Stub Entries to Indents, Book U-W , page 163, published by the State of South Carolina, proves his service in that State:
No. 460) Issued 17 Aug. 1785, to Mr. Moses Tremble, for 81 pounds, Lib. V.) 14-3 1/4 Sterling; duty done in Militia as a private and a Lieutenant, since the reduction of Charleston, S.C. for militia use in 1870. Pr. account from the Commrs.
He is listed as a Soldier of the Georgia Line, in Senate Documents, XVI, 347 et seq. In Auditors General's Records 1782-1794, published in facsimile by the state, page 47, and the same record, published by Mrs. W. S. Wilson in her Annals of Georgia, Vol. 1, p. 150, occurs the following:
The U. S. Dr. to Moses Trimble, for provisions supplied by him for public use, per Acct. No. 505, 117 Pounds, 19, 7.
He received several Bounty grants of Georgia land for Revolutionary service in this state, the first two being recorded in the Surveyor General's office as follows:
Warrant for 287- 1/2 acres (on Bounty) in Franklin county, Bounded N. by Tugaloo River, E. by Spurlock, W. & S. vacant, No.793. Registered July 19, 1784. Book A, 262.)
Warrant for 287-1/2 acres Franklin Co. (Bounty) bounded E. by Moses Spurlock, N. by Savanna River, other sides vacant. No. 214, Registered Sept. 30, 1784. Book EEE, 151, and for the second Oct. 16, 1784, Book EEE, Records in the Office of the sec. of State. He had various tracts in Wilkes County, beginning in 1784; apparently was cut off into Elbert County in the formation of that County in 1790.
In the first deed book of Elbert Co., page 34, occurs the following deed:
Deed, April 1, 1791, Moses Trimble and Katherine his wife, to John Balenger, Consideration, 50 Pounds, conveying 600 acres in Elbert, being balance of tract where Philip Vineyard now lives, originally granted to John Tollet, Oct. 5, 1785. There was the record of a prior deed from Tollet to Vineyard for the entire tract. Both Philip Vineyard and Katherine, his wife, and Moses Trimble and Catherine his wife, seem to have removed at this time to Franklin County, where Trimble received numerous tracts by grant from the state and bought other tracts.
Moses Trimble seems to have removed to Jasper County about 1810, and thence about 1820 to 1822 to Newton County, where he died in 1828, his will made Feb. 1828 and probated Sept. 1st of the same year, being recorded in Wills, Book I, page 28.
Moses Trimble married Catherine, daughter of Phillip and Sarah Lewis, who survied him (sic). Their children were:
James L.
***John Haddon***
Philip L.
Sarah
Esther
Moses
Elisha
James John Philip and Sarah were left $20.00 each and were apparently married and had received their shares. Executors named in the will are 'John Trimble of Morgan County and Moses Trimble of this County. The Moses of this county was probably his son of that name. The John Trimble of Morgan County was the testator's nephew, John, son of Joseph Trimble, and he is appointed although testator's brother, John, was living in DeKalb County at the time the will was made.

Carson for $60.00 on May 18, 1809 and on January 6, 1810 he bought 35 acres on the waters of Nail's and Crockett's Creeks from Obediah Hooper for $35.00. He also drew for land in the Georgia Lottery of 1805.
Moses Trimble was one of the trustees of the Hebron Presbyterian congregation who, on December 21, 1805 received title from James McCarter to the seven acre site of their meeting house. He also served many times on Franklin County juries, and he administered the estate of Conmack Haggins in 1801.
Trimble began disposing of his Franklin County lands on December 2, 1800, when he sold 100 acres on the Hudson Fork to John Goodwin for $100.00, and on December 15, 1802, he sold 158 acres to Lewis Dickerson for $100.00.

In the fall of 1809, Moses Trimble moved to Jasper (now Newton) County Georgia. On August 2, 1810, he bought 73 acres, lot 182, 19th Baldwin District, from Henry Jones for $300.00; on August 28, 1810, he bought 105 acres, lot 181, 19th Baldwin District, from Willoughby Hammack for $1,000.00; on November 2, 1811 he bought 104 1/2 acres on the south branch of Little River, lot 184, 19th Baldwin District, from Martha Holly for $400.00; on September 8, 1813, he bought 202 1/2 acres on the water's of Heard's Creek, part of lot 138, 18th Baldwin District, from Hobert Pearman.

Baptist Chruch in Jasper (now Newton) County, drew lot 237, 2nd District, Section 4, in the Cherokee Land Lottery of 1832; she never applied for a grant and the land reverted to the state. About 1837 she moved to the Cherokee Nation in Cass (now Gordon) County, Georgia, with her son Elisha; she probably died there about 1845. The children of Moses and Catherine Trimble were as follows:
