Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Supreme Court of the United States, January Term 1829, Vol. 2
Mr. Justice Trimble accompanied his father, when he emigrated, and the early years of his life were passed in agricultural industry and frequently in the amusements and toils of the chase, upon the success of which the settlers often depended for food. He was sometimes engaged in defence against Indian invasion, to which the borderers were then constantly exposed. He was distinguished, in his youth, for his conduct, his courage and his sagacity and was acknowledged as a leader by his associates.
The native and powerful energies of his mind could not be restrained by the situation in which he was placed and he became desirous of obtaining an education which would fit him for higher duties. By teaching an English school, he procured the means of entering Bourbon Academy and afterwards was a student in the Kentucky Academy, in Woodford county, where he completed his classical attainments. He then studied law, and in 1800, commenced the practice of his profession at Paris, in Bourbon county, where he married. His widow and a numerous family of children survive him.
