Biography of: Norris Henry Trude
4. Norris Henry2 TRUDE, (John1), born 1792 in Rhode Island. He married (1) May Elizabeth GRAHAM and married (2) Christiana (maiden name unknown). According to the NY and US Census, they lived in The township of Italy, Yates County, New York from 1825-1845. Little is known about this family, therefore it is possible that Norris had more children and more wives. Norris and Christiana were listed in the 1850 New York census for Naples, Ontario County, New York with one sons, Ira. The other children, listed below, were assumed to be children of Norris Henry because they do not fit the profiles of the other three Trude brothers and were definitely descendants of John1 Trude. All of them were born in New York and all, except Jabez, relocated to the northern mountain regions of Pennsylvania before moving west. There is also a possiblity that Jabez was a grandson of Norris.
Children to May Elizabeth GRAHAM:
+ 25. i. William Reese3 TRUDE, born 1812.+ 26. ii. Nathan B.3 TRUDE, born 1817.

Note: One source has Norris listed as "Henry Trude," born in 1797 in Berkshire, Massachusetts.
