Biography

Five brothers, James, Moses, John, David and Alexander Trimble, came to America from Armagh, Ireland, in 1740.

James and John settled in Augusta county, Virginia.

John settled in Augusta Co., Virginia. He was killed by Indians in 1764 and his home was burned. He was the last white man to be massacred by the Indians in the Valley of Virginia.

He married Mary Moffett, widow of John Moffett. His death occurred in 1764, having been killed by the Indians at the time of the second Kerr Massacre, when his only son, James was captured by the Indians and afterwards rescued by his half-brother, Capt. Geo. Moffett.

John Trimble's widow and his brother James qualified as administrators in 1764. On the eighteenth of March, 1768, George Moffett qualified in the county court as the guardian of James Trimble orphan of John Trimble.
