General Notes: Husband - Col. James Harvey Trimble

---

He grew to manhood at the home farm, married and on his wedding trip visited the state of Iowa. That country pleased him so well that he purchased a farm near Des Moines and there remained a few years. He then sold out and returned to the state of Pennsylvania, about the time of the outbreak of the Civil War. From a youth of eighteen he had been a member of the Pennsylvania militia, rising to the rank of major and ever being deeply interested in military affairs. At the outbreak of the war he aided in recruiting men in Westmoreland and began his own military career on August 11, 1861, when he enlisted and was chosen captain of Company C, Fourth Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry. During his first three-year term of enlistment he participated in many battles, received slight wounds in several of them but did not sustain serious injury. He re-enlisted, September 16, 1864, and from that date until the end of the war was a regularly commissioned colonel of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment, Second Brigade, Fifth Division, Ninth Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac. As captain he led his men at the battles of Fort Donaldson, Pea Ridge, Hampton Roads, Newbern, Shiloh, Island No. 10, before Richmond, Antietam, Corinth, Prairie Grove, Fredericksburg, Murfreesboro, Chancel-lorsville, Port Gibson, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Brandy Station and Knoxville. As colonel of the Second Regiment he was engaged at the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Resaca, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Winchester and Appomattox, witnessing the final surrender of Lee's army. His career was a glorious one and he returned to civil life full of honors. After the war he located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where he operated a general store and engaged in other local enterprises. He there took an active interest in politics but ever refused office for himself, although ardent in his support of the Republican party and its candidates. In 1875 he retired from business, moved to McKeesport and there spent the remainder of his useful life. When a youth he joined the Salem Presbyterian Church and was ever a devoted member of that faith, as was his wife. [GPHWP, 839]

General Notes: Wife - Margaret Stevenson

---

The same source gives different information about which of the Stevenson brothers was her father.
Regarding her sister, Harriet, the source states: her early life was largely spent in McKeesport, where she lived with her uncle. We might suppose the uncle mention was William Stevenson, and perhaps Margaret also might be the daughter of James Stevenson, but lived with her uncle as well and thus was considered part of his family, hence listed as his daughter.
