Thomas I. TRUSCOTT an Illinoisan by nativity, born at the Village of Kane, in the southern part of Greene County, August 12, 1853, a son of J. J. and Eliza (KIRKLAND) Truscott. His grandfather, Thomas Truscott, came to the United States from England in 1821 and soon settled as an early pioneer in Green County, Illinois, where he was engaged in farming until the discovery of gold in California, in 1849, when he made the long and dangerous trip across the plains to the gold-fields. He was one of the fortunate miners who secured valuable claims and subsequently passed his life in the West, where he became a prominent capitalist. J. J. Truscott was born in Greene County, Illinois, in 1832, and some years after his marriage there went to Arkansas, continuing to make his home in that state until 1879, when he went to Thorpe Springs, Hood County, Texas, as a pioneer. An attorney by profession, he was engaged in practice at various places in Texas and held a high position in his vocation, being elected county judge of Knox County, Texas, an office in which he served for nine years. After retiring in 1900, Mr. Truscott came to Olustee, Oklahoma, and in 1911 went to Maud, Oklahoma, where he is now living quietly in his comfortable home…. Mrs. Truscott, who was born in Green County, Illinois, in 1835, died at Thorpe Springs, Texas, in 1874. They were the parents of five children, as follows: Thomas I.; George E., who is engaged in merchandising at Maud, Oklahoma; Addie, of Frederick, Oklahoma, who is the widow of W. W. ROGERS, a mechanic; Estella, who is the wife of Hon. D. F. GAUS, an attorney at Seymour, Texas, and a member of the Texas State Senate; and Lucien K., M. D., who is a practicing physician and surgeon of Oklahoma…
