Possibly I need to clarify the reference to KY in my original reply. I meant to indicate that I could explain why certain members of the Marion County Trussell family may have listed KY as place of birth.Some of them resided very early in what is now northernmost TN, but was then disputed territory which actually should have been a part of KY.The line between the two states had been accidentally run too far north and that strip of land (between the intended line and the mislocated line) remained in dispute for many years.Residents of the area were unsure which state they were in.The dispute was eventually resolved in favor of TN.
I have no in-depth knowledge of other Trussells who actually lived in KY, some apparently for generations; and all much further to the north.Sorry for any wrong impression.
