Migration of the Trouman family

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time.

The Trouman were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Richard Trueman settled in Barbados in 1654; Robert Trueman settled in Virginia in 1656; John Truman settled in Virginia in 1654; William Truman settled in Fort Cumberland, Nova Scotia in 1774 with his wife Anne and son William..
