Dear Pearl:
First, your name is beautiful. My most favorite relative in the world was named Pearl (my maternal grandmother). Had I had a daughter, part of her name would have been Pearl.
Second, I note from other postings to this forum that there was at least one marriage between a Trusty and a Fedric. This was from the Fedric family that moved to Alabama/Mississippi from Person County, North Carolina. That person was Radford Jones Fedric (1819-1891) who married Emma Milton Turnipseed (1825-1884) on 12 Oct 1844. I believe that it was the descendants (one of them at least) of Radford Jones Fedric and Emma Milton Turnipseed who married into the Trusty family.
I give all this by way of prelude to my interest in the name "Ransom Trusty". Some researchers believe that the older brother of Radford Jones Fedric was Ransom Fedric (sometimes shown with the middle initial "M")(born c. 1815, Person County, North Carolina). If Radford Jones Fedric and Ransom Fedric were indeed brothers, and the Radford Jones Fedric family line married into the Trusty line that ended up in Kentucky, we may at least have a possible source for the name of Ransom Trusty.
However, while as much as I would like to find this connection, the dates probably will not work out. If Ransom Trusty was 32 in the 1850 census, he was born around 1818. And, Radford Jones Fedric was born the next year.
I have put all this together notwithstanding the problem with the dates because I have been fooled by dates before.
While I am most interested in the Fedric/Trusty relationship, my principal quest is to find out whether Ranson Fedric and Radford Jones Fedric were brothers and, most importantly, who were their parents.
Best regards.
Rick
