JOHN GEORGE TROUTMAN
John George Troutman, one of the prominent and successful
farmers of Wayne County, was born in Berks County, Penn.,
September 20, 1816.
His father, Michael Troutman, who was born in Berks County in 1788, immigrated to Wayne County in 1829, and bought a quarter section of land in Wayne Township for $1600, originally the property of John and Henry Royer.
Philip Troutman, father of Michael, was also born in Berks County, Penn., and was of German descent. Philip was the father of six children, four sons and two daughters, all of whom grew to maturity. He was a highly respected citizen, and died at a ripe old age.
Michael Troutman remained on his father's farm until 1817, when he removed to Virginia, and there engaged in farming until his removal to Wayne County in 1829. He was married to Mary Emrich, who bore him three sons and two daughters, whose names were John George, David, Philip, Eliza (Mrs. Groff) and Mary (Mrs. Wyler). Mr. Troutman remained on the first purchased farm until 1850, when he sold out and purchased a small farm, on which he remained until his death, in 1869, one month after his wife's decease. He was very successful as a farmer.
John George Troutman was six months old when his parents
removed to Virginia and thirteen years old when he came with them to Ohio. His education was acquired in the common schools of Wayne County and at a select school in Wooster; at twenty-one he was a student at an academy in Berks County, Penn.
In 1841 he was married to Caroline, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Althouse) Fryberger, of Berks County, and born in 1821. Eleven children were born to this union (ten of whom are now living), their names being Sarah Jane (Mrs. Dr. Wallace, of Illinois), born in 1842; Mary (Mrs. Christy), of Wayne County, Ohio, born in 1843; Dr. John Troutman, of Kansas City, born in 1845; Michael, a banker in Canton, Ohio, born in 1846; Joseph, a farmer in Virginia, born in 1848; Elizabeth (Mrs. Campbell, of Ashtabula County, Ohio), born in 1852; Frank (deceased), born in 1852; Emma (Mrs. McCoy, of Wayne County), born in 1854; Alice (Mrs. Wilson, now a widow) born 1857; Clara (Mrs. McClure, of Wooster), born in 1861; Harriet (at home) born in 1864.
Mr. Troutman has followed farming as his life occupation,
and today owns 150 acres of land, nearly all of which is under a high state of cultivation. The handsome buildings and other improvements on the farm have been made by his own hands or under his supervision. His success in life is due to his own intelligence, industry and foresight, with the assistance of his faithful wife, who has been in all respects a helpmate to him. For twenty years Mr. Troutman was an elder in the Presbyterian Church
