Notes

Enlisted at age sixteen and became a Colonel in the Revolution War. He fought at Guilford Court House, NC 15 Mar 1781; was present at Gates' defeat at Yorktown in 1782. Will 12 Mar 1814 and proved Nov 1814 Woodford Co. KY Deed book D p. 238.

"He located in Woodford Co. KY about the same time that Col. Thomas Marshall and General Marquis Calmes came. He was born in 1762 and just sixteen years old when he enlisted for service in the Revolution. He located in Woodford County on a tract of land near Sublett's ferry about two miles from where his brother Daniel had located, on a prominence that overlooks the village of Tyrone in Anderson County, and he built a spacious brick house that is standing today in fine condition. From the house you have a splendid view of the bridge of the Southern Railroad that spans the Kentucky river at Tyrone.

The Trabue home belonged to Sallie Neal during the Civil War, and for some years thereafter, but it is now the property of Willis Field, son of Col. Tom. The elevation at this point is very great and the view from the towering cliff is very pleasing, as the country that lies in the distance, in both Anderson and Woodford, is decidedly romantic. On this farm Edward Trabue established and maintained a deer park, similar to the one that was maintained on the Hart farm, and remained there until a short period preceding the civil War. Many of those ranges existed over the country early in the nineteenth century.

One of the daughters of Edward made an oil painting of the lovely old home in Woodford, and I am told by one of his descendants that it is reverently preserved.

In 1810 Edward Trabue was the owner of ten slaves and had eleven members in his family. Several of these, however, were sisters. His mother, Olympic Dupuy Trabue, who lived to be 93 years old, was also a member of the family. She had fifteen children.

He and his two wives and his mother are buried in the family graveyard on the premises, and a monument erected in memoriam. He and his kindred, the Dupuys and Watkins families, were staunch believers in the Baptist faith, and many preachers were developed from these families.
