News article of Mrs. Mary Trout, widow of Anthony, printed in The Republican 08 SEP 1868 was about her being the only living person in Harrison 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 years 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.
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
married John Blume, the marriage register gives the date of 22 Mar 1827 - (Marriage Register 1817-1832, Pages 224 & 225, Entry/Lic #01, Harrison Co., Clerk's Office).
The dates inscribed on John Blume's headstone: Died: 25 Dec 1877 Aged: 78y, 6m, 21d calculates to a birth date of about 4 June 1799).
Lucinda Conrad (Valentine's daughter) lived with Mary [Trout] Blume for awhile after John Blume's death (1799-1877). Mary is listed in the Harrison County marriage records (Clerk's Office) as Mary Trout, but various census records list her as: Mary, or Mary A., and Mary A.S. -by Kevin Conrad.
David: Born 1802 married Harriet CONRAD
Marion SOPHIER: Born 1808
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.

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 it's true legal name, "Luther Chapel Cemetery."
