I just went into your web site and looked up Trusdell. I noticed Lewis Trusdell there. He is my great, great, grandfather. I can give you more information about this family if you wish, including parents and children. Lewis Trusdell fought in the Civil War. He was born 6/5/1830 in Stillwater, NJ and died 12/31/1901 in Brooklyn, NY.
