Anthony Daniel Trout was born in Dec of 1751 and died in February of 1844. His final burial was in Luther Chapel Cemetery aka Trout Cemetery, Harrison Co, Indiana.
The Hoosier Elm Chapter's Registrar is working on a project of indexing all of the printed obits from the local papers (Corydon Democrat & The Corydon Republican) through 1900. She has found an obit of Mrs. Mary Trout, widow of Anthony, and it is most informative. I am sure you would be most interested in having a copy. It was printed in The Republican 08 SEP 1868 and was about her being the only living person in the county who was drawing a pension of any kind from the Revolutionary War. At the time of the article, she was 102 years old, living with Uncle Johnnie Blume of Scott Township. We know that her daughter married John Blume. She died 04 SEP 1870 at 104 year old.
Above article quoted: "After his death, Mr. Trout was first buried about three-fourths of a mile southwest of Luther's Chapel in a place where he had selected. His wife requested that after her death, his body should be taken up and buried near her at the Luther Chapel burying ground which was done." -by Evelyn Jackson, Historian.
Service: Enlisted while a resident of Tyron Co., NC 1777 and served five years. Served in Capt Henry HAMPTON'S Company. Col SUMTER'S S.C. Regt. Was in battles of Charlestown, Eutaw Springs, where he was wounded and at Guilford Court House. Served 6 months in Col Elijah CLARKE'S G Regiment.

Mr. Trout married in 1790 to Mary Catherine GRUBB (1760-1870) and known children:
Catherine Elizabeth: Born 1791 married James Vaughn. Records indicate (per Catherine Vaughn's headstone), she was born 9 Oct 1792. Other information I have on Catherine is she was born in Rockingham Co., VA (former Tyron Co) and she married James Vaughn 9 Aug 1808, Monroe Co., West Virginia (their son Lewis was born 9 months later). Catherine arrived in Harrison Co., IN., sometime circa 1820, with her son Lewis Alexander Vaughn. This is about the same period Anthony Trout and his family (including David) arrived in Harrison Co.
Mary Ann Sophia Trout: Born Feb 18, 1808 Died: Nov 10, 1897

One interesting point I would like to share is the name of the cemetery. I have been researching land records in this immediate area for several reasons- one being, did Anthony Trout own the land the cemetery is on or did John Blume? John and Mary Blume owned the land in that area and deeded a parcel of their land for the building of Luther's Chapel in 1844. John's wife is also on the deed and listed as "Mary Ann Blume". In multiple obits published in the Corydon Democrat, the cemetery was referred to as "Luther's Chapel Cemetery". My father just recently found out the cemetery is also known as the "Trout" cemetery, and his father (my grandfather) alway's knew it as Luther's Chapel cemetery. In a survey conducted at this cemetery on 6 May 1940 , by Samual P. Hays and Frederick P. Griffin (Mr. Griffin the noted Harrison County Historian among his other notable titles), identifies this cemetery as "Luther's Chapel". A copy of this particular survey was also sent to the Indiana State Library (Indianapolis) on 28 October, 1940.

Anthony Daniel TROUT was born 12 Dec 1751 in old Tryon (now Rutherford) County, NC. At about age 26, Anthony enlisted at Tryon County Courthouse, NC, as a private in Capt. Henry Hampton's Company, Col. Thomas Sumter's 6th Rifle Regiment of the South Carolina Line for a period of five years. Anthony also served additional 6 months in Col. Elijah Clarke's Regiment of GA Militia. His Revolutionary War battles included the reduction of Charlestown, NC, 1780, and on the Ashley River; wounded at Guilford Courthouse, NC, on 15 Mar 1781; fought at Eutaw Springs, SC, 8 Sep 1781; and participated in a total of (14) skirmishes or battles overall. Anthony later wrote in his pension application that he also had been taken prisoner circa 1766 by Indians when he was about 14 years old and held for some time. Anthony reports being discharged in 1782 at Augusta, GA.
Following the war, Anthony married Mary Catherine GRUBB in Rockingham County, VA on 31 Aug 1790, she having been born 12 Dec 1775 in Augusta County to Daniel GRUBB. The couple remained in Rockingham County, VA through at least 1808, where all of their children were born. Issue to the union included Catherine Elizabeth, 9 Oct 1791; Peggy, circa 1795; Mary, 28 Dec 1799; David, 26 Dec 1802; and Marian Sophier TROUT, 18 Feb 1808. The family had moved to Harrison Twp, Harrison, IN, sometime prior to 14 Aug 1832 when he filed his pension application from that location. Some sources suggest they may have arrived in Harrison County as early as 1820, although they do not show in either the 1820 or 1830 census.
Anthony Daniel TROUT passed away 21 Feb 1844 at age 92 years, 2 months, and 9 days, and was joined by his wife Mary on 4 Sep 1870 at age 94 years, 8 months, and 23 days.

Anthony Daniel TROUT is also listed as Line #27 in the TROUT-DNA Research Project. NOTE: Circumstantial evidence, including dates and locations, "suggest" that Andrew Daniel TROUT "may" have been the firstborn son of Hans Georg TRAUT (1725-1780), Line #1 in our study, and wife Mary CLEMONS --confirmation pending. I am extremely interested in corresponding with proven descendants of Andrew Daniel TROUT.
Important Note: The Trout Cemetery is most properly known as the Luther Chapel Cemetery, which is the actual legal name for the cemetery. Due to errors on USGS topographical maps and elsewhere, the "Trout Cemetery" name incorrectly crept into use in various indices and search engines. All references to the "Trout Cemetery" should always include the true legal name, "Luther Chapel Cemetery."

Anthony Daniel TROUT was born 12 Dec 1751 in old Tryon (now Rutherford) County, NC. At about age 26, Anthony enlisted at Tryon County Courthouse, NC, as a private in Capt. Henry Hampton's Company, Col. Thomas Sumter's 6th Rifle Regiment of the South Carolina Line for a period of five years. Anthony also served additional 6 months in Col. Elijah Clarke's Regiment of GA Militia. His Revolutionary War battles included the reduction of Charlestown, NC, 1780, and on the Ashley River; wounded at Guilford Courthouse, NC, on 15 Mar 1781; fought at Eutaw Springs, SC, 8 Sep 1781; and participated in a total of (14) skirmishes or battles overall. Anthony later wrote in his pension application that he also had been taken prisoner circa 1766 by Indians when he was about 14 years old and held for some time. Anthony reports being discharged in 1782 at Augusta, GA.
Following the war, Anthony married Mary Catherine GRUBB in Rockingham County, VA on 31 Aug 1790, she having been born 12 Dec 1775 in Augusta County to Daniel GRUBB. The couple remained in Rockingham County, VA through at least 1808, where all of their children were born. Issue to the union included Catherine Elizabeth, 9 Oct 1791; Peggy, circa 1795; Mary, 28 Dec 1799; David, 26 Dec 1802; and Marian Sophier TROUT, 18 Feb 1808. The family had moved to Harrison Twp, Harrison, IN, sometime prior to 14 Aug 1832 when he filed his pension application from that location. Some sources suggest they may have arrived in Harrison County as early as 1820, although they do not show in either the 1820 or 1830 census.
Anthony Daniel TROUT passed away 21 Feb 1844 at age 92 years, 2 months, and 9 days, and was joined by his wife Mary on 4 Sep 1870 at age 94 years, 8 months, and 23 days.

Anthony Daniel TROUT is also listed as Line #27 in the TROUT-DNA Research Project. NOTE: Circumstantial evidence, including dates and locations, "suggest" that Andrew Daniel TROUT "may" have been the firstborn son of Hans Georg TRAUT (1725-1780), Line #1 in our study, and wife Mary CLEMONS --confirmation pending. I am extremely interested in corresponding with proven descendants of Andrew Daniel TROUT.
Important Note: The Trout Cemetery is most properly known as the Luther Chapel Cemetery, which is the actual legal name for the cemetery. Due to errors on USGS topographical maps and elsewhere, the "Trout Cemetery" name incorrectly crept into use in various indices and search engines. All references to the "Trout Cemetery" should always include the true legal name, "Luther Chapel Cemetery."
