General Notes: Husband - Charles Tronquet

---

Charles Tronquet, a young Frenchman barely out of his teens, fired with the newly awakened enthusiasm of his race and attracted by the splendid promise of the constitution then just adopted by the United States, bade adieu to the home of his forefathers and set sail for America. Upon his arrival he settled in Connecticut, and soon afterward married Mary Ganguard, who represented his own race and the Puritan stock of New England, her mother's maiden name being Merritt. This union was blessed with ten children, five sons and five daughters. These children, following the example of many other descendants of European emigrants, accepted the pronunciation of their name which the English speaking tongue gave it and changed the orthography accordingly, and thus the patronymic Tronquet became Trunkey. The family of Charles Tronquet followed the tide of emi­gration from Connecticut to the “Western Reserve,” then called New Connecticut. [EGBPa, 602]
