TRAUGHBER FAMILY |
|
Records and Genealogies -- by John Logan Traughber, Jr. Submitted by Kristy Williams Traughber is a name of German origin. Two brothers of that name came to America sometime before the Revolutionary War and located in Pennsylvania. After the war they removed to Rockingham County, Virginia. One was named Nicholas, the other William. Nicholas Traughber died in Virginia, where numerous descendants of his still remain. The other brother in company with another German traveled on horseback over a great deal of the territory now embraced in the States of Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Kentucky. He fancied the property held by a young Shaker Community in Logan County, Kentucky and bought the site of their town. Returning to Virginia, he sold out his possessions and with his family removed to Kentucky. Though he had several other sons, he gave the property embraced in the Shaker town site to his son Henry, on condition that the latter would support him in his last years. The old man died somewhere between 18?2 and 1826. It was near the first of Nineteenth Century when he settled in Kentucky, and he was then in advanced years. Henry Traughber married Eva Nail in Virginia. She had a brother John Nail who went with them to Kentucky and from there went to the War of 1812, before the end of which he died. She also had two sisters, one married John Weaver, who died in Alabama; the other sister marrying Adam Pin___, who died in Logan County, Kentucky. To Henry and Eva Traughber were born three children, one of whom died in infancy. Their oldest child was a son, the two younger were daughters. On of them married in Logan County, Kentucky, a man named Jubal Burton, and was the mother of one child, a son named Oliver. After moving a great deal, they settled in Du Quoin, Illinois, when Jubal Burton died, and where at the present time, (Sept. 1889), his widow and son are. John Logan Traughber was and Ellen Keziah Ross were married in Logan County, Kentucky, December 23rd, 1829, Ellen K.

Traughber, Sr. was born in Germany, and came to America sometime before the Revolution, from which war he was exempt because early in life he had suffered the loss of one of his eyes. As narrated on another paper, he moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia to Kentucky. He was five months in the saddle from the time he and Craft started from Virginia till he found a location in Kentucky. Being a leader in the German community where he lived when he moved from Virginia to Kentucky, many families followed him, depending on his judgment as to fitness of location; and it is said that none of them moved back to Virginia. The Rockingham Colony arrived in Logan County, Kentucky, just before Christmas in the year 1809. At the time William Traughber took the five months ride, he was 68 years old. He was born in 1758.
