Son of Christopher (1700-1753) and Maria Katherin ( ) Teuber/Truby (1702-1757), both born in Switzerland and died in Pennsylvania, USA.
============
Truby, a noted citizen of early Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was buried with his wife Sybilla Bauman in the Old German Burying Ground (Old German Cemetery) on South Main Street in Greensburg. Through a short-sighted and incredibly sad choice on the part of the City of Greensburg, the historic graveyard no longer exists--it is now a parking lot. Christopher Truby gave this parcel of land to Greensburg's German congregations in 1795 for use as a burial ground. The remains of the Trubys were moved in 1938 to the crypt of Zion's Lutheran Church and their gravestones placed in the wall near the side entrance; the church is located at Pennsylvania Avenue and Second Streets.
Truby served with the Pennsylvania colonial militia during the French and Indian War, while he still lived east of the Alleghenies. In additon to serving continually as a Westmoreland County woods Ranger, he rendered military service during the Revolution and in the Indian Wars which followed. He served as a Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding a battalion of Pennsylvania militia in General Harmar's unsuccessful campaign against the Native Americans in northwest Ohio, October 1790.
Truby was a Westmoreland County commissioner, justice of the peace and judge. He was instrumental in moving the new seat of government from Hannas Town to Greensburg (which he originally named Newtown) after the burning of Hannas Town in 1782. He died in the tavern home of his daughter, Catharina Truby Rohrer Marshall, in 1802.
