The Trimbles came from Ireland and were known as "Scotch-Irish". That refers to the Lowland Scotch Presbyterians who were driven out of Scotland by the Church Of England. They settled in the northern parts of Ireland, but the oppression continued there so they emigrated to America. They were called "Scotch-Irish", to distinguish them from the Highland Scotch and the Catholic Irish that lived in the south Ireland. William and his wife settled in Logan County, KY. Their children were all born here. It has been said that William, two brothers, a sister and an aunt, Arabella Trimble King, came directly from Ireland. One brother went south, one remained in Virginia, the sister died on the voyage and was buried at sea. William, along with his aunt, traveled to Kentucky. It is believed William came from North Carolina to Kentucky with Arabella Trimble. There she married a man named King (in Logan County, KY). Their son was James S. King.
