Listed below are the descendants of Edward B. Trout, the son of John and Elizabeth (Ake) Trout.
In 1840 he could have been the "E Trout" enumerated as the head of household in Antis Township, Huntingdon County (or it was possibly Elizabeth, his mother as the head of household after John Trout's death). The household consisted of 1 male of twenty and under thirty years; 1 female of fifteen and under twenty years; 1 female of twenty and under thirty years; and 1 female of 60 and under 70 years (in either case Edward and his mother were probably both members of this 1840 household).
His family was first listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Bedford Township, Bedford County:
#85 91 Edward Trout 36 m Farmer 2800 " [Pa]In the 1860 Federal Census of Bedford Borough, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, enumerated on the 4th of June his household listed (all family members were born in Pennsylvania; all three children had attended school in the past year):
Ann M. " 30 f "
Elizabeth Cisman 74 f 400 Penna
Sylvester C. Trout 5 m "

Edward 12 m

Elizabeth Crissman 82 f
Eliza Platenberger 15 f Domestic
The children of Edward B. Trout and Margaret Ann Crisman were:
5.1.7.1 Sylvester Crisman Trout 
was born in about 1845 in Pennsylvania. He served with Company A,
184th
Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, his muster in date is listed as 12
May 1864, he was a Prisoner of War captured at the battle of Cold Harbor
and survived
Andersonville
Prison from about 22 June 1864 until he was exchanged on 1 April 1865.
13,000 Union soldiers died at Andersonville and are buried at the Andersonville
National Cemetery in Macon County, Georgia.
The Idaho Death Index 1911-1951 lists Sylvester's birth as 20 June 1844 and his date and place of death as 8 June 1921 in Boise, Ada County, Idaho. After his death, his widow, Clara R. Trout, did file for a pension in Idaho, the dates are impossible to read, however, the unit is clearly written as "A 184th Pa. Inf.". Clara is also listed in the Idaho Death Index 1911-1951, as "Caroline R. Trout", date of birth listed as 11 December 1844, date and place of death as 4 June 1935, Boise, Ada County, Idaho.
I have not located Sylvester in the 1870 census after the war. In 1880 he and his wife Sarah were enumerated in Burlingame Township, Osage County, Kansas, ED# 27, page 57C (the date was not recorded at the top of the page):

They were listed Burley Precinct, Cassia County, ED# 112, sheet 10B (the image is very faint, Mary and Harry both stated that they had been married for 11 years; Mary stated that she had given birth to 4 living children). Since the names and ages are so difficult to read, and there were no changes except for ages, I skipped forward ten years and transcribed the 1920 census. From the 1920 Federal Census of Burley Precinct No. 2, Cassia County, Idaho, ED# 270, sheet 7B, recorded on the 27th of February:
