The biography below is tantalizing to me, because this gentleman was born
and raised in the same county in Delaware, and moved to the same county in
Ohio, as my GGG-Grandmother Claracy BILLINGS.

She was born 7 May 1810 and died 11 Dec 1910. In January of 1837 she
married Wm. TRUITT in Butler Co. Ohio. He was her second husband. Her first
was John HANCOOK. (yes, HanCOOK). They were married in 1827 in Delaware,
and had three sons. John died in 1834. After marrying Wm. TRUITT, they
moved to Rush Co. Indiana, where she had five children, including the first
twins born in Rush Co.

It is known she had a brother named Elijah. Is James, noted below, also
perhaps a brother?

Thanks,
