    "Trumbull, John, by w. Elizabeth, had Elizabeth, b. June 1638; John, b. 4 Aug. 1641; Hannah, b. 10 Dec. 1642; Mary, b. 9 Feb. 1644-5; James, b. 7 Dec. 1647. John the f. was a ship-master, and resided on the southerly side of South Street, at its intersection with Holyoke Street; he removed to Chs. before May 1655, where he was living at the age of 80, as appears by his deposition dated 27 Ap. 1686. Elizabeth, prob. his wid., d. at Chs. 1696, a. 86."

    "John (Trumbull), Cambridge 1636, said to have come from New Castle on Tyne, was fin. £20 at the court, Mar. 1637, but for some cause so slight that it might have found lighter censure, as in June foll. three quarters of the penalty were taken off, and, at the general show of similar favor in 1638, £4 more were remit. Perhaps he is the sec. freem. of this name 13 May 1640, but in rec. giv. Thrumball. By w. Eliz. had Eliz. 6 June 1638; John, 4 Aug. 1641; Hannah, 10 Dec. 1642; rem. to Charlestown, there had Mary, 3, but ano. rec. says 9 Feb. 1645; besides that on Cambridge rec. comes, also, James, 7 Dec. 1647. He was capt. of a trading vessel, and may have been the man in the Col. Rec. of Conn. I. 162, willing to accept Matthew Griswold's oath to his demand in 1648, and prob. the one meant by Davenport in Epist. to Gov. Winthrop 1655, as bring. him letters from Eng. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. X. 7. He was a shopkeep. in Charlestown 1673, a householder in 1678, and d. leav. wid. Eliz. early in July 1687, in his 80th yr. the inv. being tak. on 6 of that mo. and ret. by his s. John 19 Aug. foll. The wid. d. 15 Aug. 1696 in 86th yr. His d. Hannah m. 2 Mar. 1659 John Baxter."

    "We will now turn to John Trumble the mariner. Being engaged one day in a search of the Baptismal Registers of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, London, my attention was attracted by the occurrence of a family of the name, and I believe that John the son of Robert Trumble, mariner, of Wapping, who was baptized 25 Sept. 1608, will prove to be the John Trumble of Charlestown, who in 1665 was 48 (Wyman's Gen. and Est. of Charlestown, II., 954.) and in 1686 was 80,( Paige's Hist. Camb., p. 672.) according to his own depositions. These last dates are utterly irreconcilable, and we can only conjecture that the first of them should be 1655, or that his age should have been 58 instead of 48, to make them harmonize with each other. Admitting this error, they are, taken in connection with the maritime profession of the father, most suggestively near to the date of baptism as given: while the statement of Savage, that he was in his 80th year at his death in July 1687, exactly tallies with the baptism. (Savage, iv., 336.)

    Robert, the father, unfortunately died intestate in 1614, (See his admon. in Com. Ct. of Lond. 1614.) but the will of the mother, Judith, may yet be found, or some further and more exact reference from some of the King, Hichman or Sand well families. (See will of William Kinge, ….) The wills at Bury St. Edmunds should also be seen in this conn[e]ction, while a further examination of the Stepney Registers for Marriages and Burials might, and most probably would, demonstrate or disprove the theory I have promulgated.

    There was a family of Trumbulls of London, fishmongers and shipowners if not mariners, in the 16th century, whose wills in the Pre. Court make a very good pedigree of four generations, (Wills of Thomas Trumbull the elder 1667, Johane his wife 1670, Thomas Trumbull the younger 1669, Emanuel Trumbull 1603. Admons. of Edward Trumbull 1610, and Maria Trumbull 1619. See also Marriage Licenses 1679, 1687 and 1614.) and whom I have suspected to be the prepositors of Robert of Stepney, but no confirmatory evidence has yet been found, and I believe that their place of origin will be finally located in Suffolk or Essex, probably derived, like the Newcastle family, from the Clan Turnbull."
