Jefferson Trickle

Jefferson Trickle, who died November 25, 1883, was the son of Christopher and Mary (Wilson) Trickle. He was born in Maryland, February 1, 1805; in 1811 moved with parents to Ashland county, O., and in 1837 settled in Essex township, with his wife, Nancy Mason, to whom he was married at the age of twenty-seven years, and two children, Jackson and Catherine Trickle. In 1871 he moved to Wyoming, where his wife died, in August, 1881. Of their four children, two reside here— Mason and Catherine; the latter is the wife of F. F. Brockway. On coming here he purchased 400 acres, which he increased to nearly 1,000 acres before his death. Mason B. Trickle, son of Jefferson and Nancy (Mason) Trickle, was born in this county in 1849. His father was born in Maryland, in 1805; moved with his parents to Ohio in 1811; married Miss Nancy Mason in his twenty-seventh year; came to Rochester, Ill., in 1832, and after a short time settled on sec. 21, Essex. Miss Mason was born in Ohio, in 1812, of Pennsylvania settlers in that state. In 1862 these pioneers moved to Wyoming; thence, in 1875, to sec. 7, Essex, where Mrs. Jefferson Trickle died in 1881 and her husband in 1883, as shown in the cemetery records of this work.
