Thomas Truitt    

Thomas Truitt, from whom sprang the Truitt family of Madison township, was born in New Jersey, in 1789, and came to this county about 1800, with his father, Parker Truitt. The latter did not long remain here, moving to the State of Indiana. Thomas Truitt was in the war of 1812, and, returning from his tour of duty in 1813, married Lydia, daughter of Thomas Williams, who was an early settler of Madison township. She was born in 1794.  After his marriage, Mr. Truitt worked upon leased land until about 1832, when he bought the farm in the northern part of the township, on which one of his sons now lives. He remained there until his death, which occurred in 1854. His wife died in 1866. Their children were: Anderson (deceased), Elizabeth (Hetrick), G. W. Thomas and D. J., all residents of Madison township, Mary (Buzzard), who lives in Ohio, J. A., a farmer of Mahoning township, and William, who lives in Clarion county.
