Trusler-Trusl-Trussel-Trussell?
I am researching the Trussel/Trussell family history and was wondering if the name Trusler could also be connected to Trussell.The Trussell name is spelled different ways in many of the Census reports and in genalogy books.Truss-Trusel-Trussel-Trussell-Trusle-Trossell and thought maybe Trusler would also be a form of this name.
I am looking for a Carel Trusl.In the legal papers of James Madison Trussell Sr. is a note by Carel Trusl and William J. Murphy dated 1837. No other note,letter or legal paper in this collection has the last name spelled Trusl.This is a huge collection of letters and legal information housed at the University of Texas at Arlington so there is a good comparison for the last name and the spelling of it.
My Trussell family line comes from the Chester S. Carolina area into Kentucky, Tenn. Alabama, Miss. then into Texas. Many of the Trussells and their family connections moved to Texas and into the Burnet, Llano, Smith, Bell, Coryell, Lampasas,counties from 1860-1880. Surnames that were connected to this first migration to Texas were King, Altman, Reynolds, Allen, Jones(2)Bible, Hays, Newton, Inman, Ballou, Morrow, Daniels, Hicks, Felker, Rankin, Lucas, Harrison, Williams. First names or nicknames that follow through the female lines are: Nannie,Olivia, Charity,Amanda,Susan,Elizabeth,Missouri. I also found in the South Carolina State Dept. of Archives and History the name Edward and William Trusler buying and selling of land from 1730 to 1783 then nothing after this.The location for Edward and William Trusler same as for the Trussell family in S. Carolina. Trussell land sales and wills start about 1750. Listings are for James, William, Daniel, Rodom,Sarah and Nancy Trussel.They also have connections to the Lyle,Lile,Cockrell, Asher, McClurkin,Gilbert,Johnson and Head families in Chester and Frederick,Co.S Carolina.Afer 1810 it is Green Alabama and Counties surrounding Lauderdale Mississippi. I would like to find out if the Trusler and Trussell name is connected....Dannie
