David TRIMBLE was born about 1720 in Scotland.(21) He died in 1799 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. (21) David was one of five brothers coming to America from Scotland by way of Armagh County, Ireland in the early 1730's. Settled first in Pennsylvania. We can find no court records of his marriage, but there was an old letter, written by his eldest daughter, Elizabeth, in which she said her Mother was a Houston. Also General Sam Houston studied Law under James Trimble, a great-nephew of David., from Nashville, Tennessee. Gen. Houston described James as a "Kinsman". The Houstons and Trimble's lived on neighboring plantations in Virginia, the birthplace of General Sam Houston. - [1]
