It is one of the oldest towns in East Lothian, and built on a gentle slope, about 300 feet above sea level. Tranent was once an important mining town, and coal was first worked there in the 12th century. The history of coal mining in Scotland is mirrored in the history of the coal heughs, mines and pits of Tranent. The Massacre of Tranent took place in 1797, when local people were killed by soldiers after protesting against conscription into the British Army.

With her second husband (John Trimble) she had a son, James Trimble.  When James was eight years old, a band of Indians came along and killed John, loaded three of John's horses with his possessions, burned the house and took James and his half sister Katherine with them. George Moffett, Mary's oldest son by her first marriage and Mary's brother William plus twenty-three more men went in pursuit.  When they found them, they waited until darkness and surrounded the camp while the Indians were eating, then attacked.  Some Indians were killed and many ran away frightened, leaving their guns.  The Men were able to recover all of the goods and the children, who were unharmed.

5~David Franklin Trimble B: 1720 Scotland D: 1799 Bourdon Cty, KY M: 1746 Mary Houston B: 1725 Ireland D: 1799. She was the daughter of John Houston & Margaret Cunningham. Settled first in New Castle, PA. Gen. Sam Houston studied Law under James Trimble, a great-nephew of David, from Nashville, TN.  Gen. Houston described James as a "Kinsman".  The Houston's and Trimble's lived on neighboring plantations in VA, the birthplace of Gen. Sam Houston.  MacLysaght says Trimble is an English surname found as early as 1659 in Ulster. David was a surveyor and was appointed on May 18, 1773, as deputy surveyor of Augusta Co., VA.  He was a large landowner in the Valley of Virginia, both at the Forks-of-James, east of Lexington, VA and on Middle River, this being his home plantation.  Just after the Rev. War, when his sons migrated to Kentucky around the Montgomery County area, David made the move with them.  At this time John, James and Moses were already deceased, also David's wife.  This probably accounted for his decision to move from his home in VA to the Kentucky area.  His will is recorded at the Bourbon County, Kentucky, Courthouse.  It appears that David and James were the closer of the Five Trimble Brothers as their names appear together frequently on documents recorded in the Virginia valley. David received several parcels of land: 10/31/1765 received 300 acres in Augusta Co. at the fork of the James River, 03/16/1771, additional 140 acres adjoining his own land, and on 02/01/1781 additional 110 acres adjoining his land.

1~William Trimble B: 01/12/1787 D: 10/07/1870 Hazel Green, KY M: 11/15/1814 by Reverend Joseph Randolph Rice, Eleanor O'Hair B: 10/14/1797 KY D: 05/24/1855 Hazel Green, KY. He was a Bugler Boy in the War of 1812 and was an eyewitness to the killing of Indian Chief Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames at Chatham, Ontario, where clothed in Indian deerskin garments, he was killed leading his warriors. POW of theWar of 1812. After marrying in 1815, they began housekeeping in a log cabin on a large tract of land which he had previously bought for five cents an acre. As a young man he started buying lands in Morgan Co., KY and built the town of Hazel Green, KY.  This tract of land was originally called Trimble's Store.  William laid out the streets, sold lots, and later changed the name to Hazel Green.  This log structure, which was the store, located on the corner of Main and State Streets, now is the site of a restaurant. He had several industries such as tanneries, lumber mills and a spinning and weaving works.  Thus he became one of Kentucky's more affluent citizens.  Although he had a large family of twelve children, one was willed at his father's death, nine farms.  He is the progenitor of another outstanding line of the Trimble family.  William built a vast trade of furs and cattle trading and he was a dealer in lands and slaves.  By the time his village of 27 lots became an established town in 1849, he had amassed a great fortune. Being a large slave owner, William o Trimble was a Southern Sympathizer.  This fact caused confrontation with Federal Troops on occasions when they would go through this mountainous area.  Onne of these occasions William's son Asbury Trimble was bushwhacked while overseeing his father's tannery.  Asbury's wife who was expecting a child at the time named the child South in defiance of the Union Forces.  This South Trimble later became a noted member of the U.S. Congress. William Trimble was not a churchman but he donated the land on which to build two churches at Hazel Green, one for the white congregation and one for the colored folk.

1~Honorable James Trimble I B: 07/19/1755 Philadelphia D: 01/25/1836 M: Clarissa Sidney Claypoole B: 02/27/1757 D: 02/06/1810  James Trimble married the widow of John Hastings April 22, 1782. Her maiden name was Clarissa Claypoole, a descendant of James Claypoole, an intimate friend of William Penn, who emigrated from England in 1682, accompanying the first settlers of Germantown, on the Concord, and a brother of John Claypoole, who married Oliver Cromwell's daughter, Elizabeth. James Trimble aided in packing and removing the state papers when the British occupied Philadelphia, and when the seat of government was removed to Lancaster in 1799, and thence to Harrisburg in 1812. He was a member of and a pewholder in the Second Presbyterian church in Philadelphia, which he attended until he removed to Lancaster in 1799. After his removal to Harrisburg he was appointed trustee and treasurer of the Presbyterian congregation there, which position he held until his death, January 26, 1837, in his eighty-third year, having served his state faithfully for sixty-seven years. The mortification of his removal from the position which he had so long and creditably filled, although for mere partisan reasons, was too intense, for he died of a broken heart in eleven days after it occurred. His father dying when quite young and being a good pens man, he was apprenticed a clerk in the Land Office under James Tilghman about 1770. In March, 1777, he became assistant to Col. Timothy Matlack, Secretary of the Supreme Executive Council, and under the Commonwealth was successively appointed deputy secretary down to January 14, 1835, the administration of Gov. Ritner, covering a period of fifty-nine years. Mr. Trimble married, in April, 1782, Clarissa, widow of John Hastings. Her maiden name was Claypoole and she was a descendent of Oliver Cromwell. She died at Lancaster, Feb. 6, 1810. Mr. Trimble assisted to remove the State records from Philadelphia to Lancaster in 1799, and from Lancaster to Harrisburg in 1812. James Trimble was the first Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 1777-1836.
