Conflict: In other records it states Mary was born 4 June 1780, NOT 1770……..excerpted, The Trumbo Family by Conrad W. Feltner; 1974

“Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Muskingum County, Ohio" The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1892 from the State Library of Ohio, page 545: ….."Dr. Pringle (George Washington Pringle, son of Henry Pringle) was also a native of Muskingum county and was a prominent physician in the same until his death. His Grandfather Pringle was born in London, England but when a young man went to Ireland and was married there to Miss Elizabeth Whiteside. After the first child was born they crossed the ocean to America, and here the remainder of their children were born: John, William, Henry, Nancy, Sally and Betsy.

Dr. George Washington Pringle was the son of Elder Henry Pringle (founder/leader of the Salt Fork Primitive Baptist Church) and Mary Trumbo. Henry died fairly young (1823) of consumption, leaving many minor children who were parcelled out to trustees (see records of the Muskingum Co. Orphans' Court). Acc. to Lorle Porter (A People Set Apart) Henry Pringle was the son of English parents who went to Ireland. His wife Mary Trumbo's family, originally from Alsace-Lorraine, came to the Hudson Bay area and from thence into Pennsylvania and VA”…..excerpted
