From Washington Trickle's Obituary, From the Stark County News, Thursday, 18 October 1888: "Christopher Trickle moved west to Ohio with his family in the year 1811. During the war of 1812, he moved into the fort at Jeromeville, Ohio, with his family and died at that place in 1813, leaving a family of five sons and four daughters to the care of the widowed mother. Only two of this family are now living, Mr. Edward Trickle of West Jersey and Mrs. Julia Anne Sherburne of Toulon."
The children of Mary and Christopher attended the first school-house in the southern portion of the township (Ashland County, Ohio). It was erected on the southern line of the land of Abram Huffman.
