General Notes: Husband - Anderson Truitt

---

He came [from New Jersey?] to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about 1800, but did not long remain there, moving to the state of Indiana.

He married his wife somewhere in Europe. They came to America shortly before 1812 [sic], settling first on the New Jersey shore. A little later they moved to the Cumberland valley, and from there to west of the mountains in 1806-07, making a location on Crooked creek. Not long afterward Mr. Truitt and several neighbors built a boat and went to Cincinnati, his son Thomas remaining on Crooked Creek. Anderson Truitt served in the United States troops in the War of 1812, and was stationed at Buffalo at the time the war closed. He and his wife were both of Scottish and Low Dutch descent. [HAC 1914, 583]

He was born and reared in England and immigrated to America in the latter part of the eighteenth century. [HJC 1917 ii, 63]
