The Trout family has gotten a fair amount of attention on this website. Please click on Families in the right-hand column, and scroll down to the Trout name, where you will see seven articles on the family.

Because Hannah Lequear and George Trout had so many children, there are a great many families that are connected with them. Some of the family trees for those families have been published, but quite a few are still in the works, such as Besson, Buchanan, Robins, and Thatcher families. Please be advised that I do not publish the grandchildren of daughters, only their own children.
