A note in the History of Woodford County relates the story that when General Lafayette toured America after the Revolutionary War in 1824-5, he visited Fayette and Woodford counties and upon meeting Edward Trabue he "put his arms around Edward and wept at the sight of a fellow Frenchman." He may well have become acquainted with Edward years before during the Revolutionary War.
In the summer of 1969 LaVece and Glen Hughes toured Woodford County looking for Edward Trabue's house and family cemetery. With the help of the Woodford County Historical Society, they found that the house still stands overlooking the palisades of the Kentucky River just outside of Versailles as the highway goes down to the Tyrone Bridge; the back of the house now faces the highway. In 2005, the family of country music singer, John Conlee, lived in the Edward Trabue house. A short distance away is the Olympia Trabue House.
The Trabue house still has gun ports built for the inhabitants to fire on Indian attackers. In the basement of the house "Edward Trabue 1792" is etched into the limestone foundation,. Just down the hill from the house is the family cemetary. Kate Ganter's papers contain the bill of sale for the monument that George W. Trabue had ordered to be placed on his mother' grave.
