Notes for Rev. Claiborne Trussell:

Source: "Methodist Preachers in GA" 1783-1900

He grew up to manhood vain and irreligious, though not without deep conviction, at times, for sin. In 1826 he married a pious Methodist, Miss Catherine Egnew, of his native state. Of her he says: "I expect to praise God through eternity that I had the good fortune to marry a Methodist wife, for through her prayers, and pious walk and godly conversation, I was led to Christ." She was a helpmeet indeed; and after sharing the fortunes of itinerant life for well nigh fifty years, she entered into her reward, January 13, 1878.

Brother Trupell (sic) was, to use his own language, "powerfully converted" at Stockdale's camp ground in the fall of 1828.

Immediately after conversion he felt himself called to preach, but ill health, financial embarrassments and a consciousness of educational unfitness, seemed to hedge up the way for a time. He was licensed to exhort in 1835 - to preach in 1836. At Athens, Ga., 1837, he was admitted on trial into the conference; 1839 ordained deacon by Bishop Morris; elder, 1841, by Bishop Waugh. The following charges were served by him - Marion circuit, 1838; Irwin Mission, 1839-'40; Telfair, 1841; Irwinton Station, 1842; Griffin Circuit, 1843-'44; McDonough, 1845; Monticello Circuit, 1846; Newnan Circuit, 1847. At the close if this year, his health having failed, he was granted a superannuated relation for the two following years. He was on the Jackson Circuit, 1850; Van Wert Mission, 1851; Marietta Circuit, 1852; Carrollton Mission, 1853; Palmetto Circuit, 1854-'55; Atlanta Circuit, 1856-'57. Here again he was superannuated. Appointed as a sypply (sic) to Dallas Circuit, 1865, was declared effective at close of that year and returned to same work 1866-'67; Sandtown Mission, 1868; Carrollton Circuit, 1869. At the close of this year his active itinerant ministry closed. He occasionally filled, for a short while, places as a supply after this.

His fields of labor, in the main, were large. Hard labor, much travel, and great exposure distinguished his early life in the ministry. Circuits of two hundred miles in circumference - traveling and preaching day by day - occupied his time and taxed his strength to the utmost. Swimming swollen streams to reach appointments - passing on his way, sometimes, smoking ruins of dwellings set on fire by the hand of hostile Indians, he gave proof of the endurance and heroic faith which distinguished the early days of Methodism. His ministry - never barren - was often wonderfully fruitful, sometimes receiving hundreds into the church in a single charge. His last days were serene and happy. He was ready and willing to depart at the Master's call, often joyfully exclaiming "Almost home!"

Children of Claiborne Trussell and Catherine Egnew are:

185 i. Martha A.⁵ Trussell. She married Rev. Christopher Columbus Davis 27 Jan 1853 in GA; born 1831.

188 iv. Daniel L. Trussell. He married Susannah E. Fowler 25 Feb 1853.

88. Charles Asher⁴ Trussell (Nancy³ Wright, Clayborn², Richard¹) was born 1802 in Chester Dist., SC, and died 02 Dec 1836 in Jasper Co., GA. He married Mary Ann Agnew Abt. 1821. She was born Abt. 1803 in SC, and died Abt. 1855.

Notes for Charles Asher Trussell:

Charles & Mary Trussell were in Jasper County GA in the 1830s. He purchased 150 acres of land from James Roberts on Aug. 28, 1835 for the sum of $320.00. He evidently died soon thereafter as on Dec. 2, 1836 the same James Roberts was made temporary administrator of his estate (Bond Bk. C, p. 145). On Jan. 2, 1837 he posted bond as Administrator (Bond Bk. C, p. 158). Roberts & a James Blan made annual returns on the estate on Jan. 14, 1838 (Wills 11, p. 400), Feb. 1, 1839 (Wills 11, p. 402), March 1, 1840 (Wills 11, p. 38), Jan. 4, 1841 (Wills 11, p. 38), and received a "Receipt of Legatee" on March 17, 1842 (Wills 11, p. 47). The will books seem to be out of order, but this is how they are listed in the Court of Ordinary in Jasper County, GA.

On September 4, 1837 James H. Roberts & Thomas Blan filed with the Court of Ordinary in Jasper Co., GA for the sale of the real estate belonging to Charles A. Trussell. The land was described as being in Jasper Co., formerly in Baldwin County (Part of Baldwin was taken when Jasper was created).

Notes for Mary Ann Agnew:

On March 7, 1842 Mary Trussell was appointed guardian of minors Green B. Trussell, James S. Trussell & William H. Trussell (Bond Bk. C, p. 456). Also posting bond with her were George Dawkins & Joel W. Dodson. The children were described as "orphans & minors of Charles A. Trussell, deceased."

C. White has an envelope on which her great-uncle wrote that Mary's maiden name was "Agnew."

Perhaps Mary Ann Egnew or Mary Ann Agnew.

Notes for Laura Anne Trussell:

From her obituary in the Grenada Sentinel, 26 Jan 1927: "An Elderly Woman Dies"

"Mrs. Laura A. James died Jan. 21, 1927 at noon, at the home of her son, J. H. James, in the Pleasant Grove community, Grenada county. She was born near Graysport, October 16, 1846, being a daughter of Henry and Jane Trussell, who were among the first settlers of this county. She was the youngest of a family of eight children. She married Isaac James, December 25, 1866, her sister Ophelia, at the same time becoming the bride of Volney Wier. Mrs. James was the mother of eight children, seven of whom survive her. The surviving children are: J. H. James, president of the board of supervisors for the county, E. L., L. B., J. C. James and Mrs. F. E. Gillon and Mrs. J. C. Evans of Boyle, Miss. These children were all at the bedside of their mother when the end came. She also leaves twenty-seven grandchildren besides a number of great-grandchildren. Her husband died December 31, 1893. Her body was laid to rest beside the remains of her husband in the burying ground at Pleasant Grove church Jan. 22. The funeral services were had at the residence of her son where she died, Rev. S. A. Loveless, pastor of the Baptist church at Duck Hill, officiating.

"This good woman wrought an enduring work in her community. When a mere girl she gave her heart to God and united with the Baptist church and as the years passed, she grew in all that comes of a fellowship with God and of a determination to walk in the footsteps of the Master. She was known for her motherly counsel and for her radiant character and for those enduring virtues which are womanhood's chief adornment. She was truly a good mother, a thoughtful neighbor, and a doer of those things that make glad the sick and that bring cheer and comfort to the distressed and the bereft or stricken. Her life is written in lasting letters in the hearts and minds of a great many people who will cherish her memory and who will ever and anon hear the echo of her voice and the sound of her footsteps as they come back from the spirit land..."

Her will:

I, Laura A. James of Grenada County Miss., over twenty one years of age and of sound and disposing mind and memory and understanding, hereby make and publish and declare this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all wills heretofore made by me.

First: I direct that my executor shall pay my just and legal debts and funeral expenses.

Second: I have already given each of my children some property and some money, some more than others. I want this to be adjusted and made equal among them in order that one may not receive more than another. Except that the land allready given and deeded by me to my son, J. H. James is not to be considered in this adjustment. The amounts given to each of my seven children is written down in pencil in my own handwriting and made a part of this will and signed by me in the presence of witnesses and bearing the same date of this will.

Third: I give and bequeath unto my seven children, J. H. James, V. R. James, E. L. James, L. B. James, J. C. James, Lura Evans and Hattie GIllon all my property, real, personal and mixed, it being my will and desire that they share equally in the division.

Fourth: I appoint my son J. C. James Executor without bond and hereby relieve him from accounting or reporting to any court as to his administration of the trust hereby imposed.

Witness my signature, this 6th day of June 1924. /s/ Laura A. James
