Widow Elizabeth (MILLER) ISABELL is either Trussey's mother or stepmother (second wife of his father, Thomas ISBELL). If the early censuses are to be trusted, Trussey was born 1825-30, so he can't be age 30. Note that he is age 36 in the 1860 census, and while neither age appears to be correct, the younger one has to be closer. This is the only ISBELL/etc. household in the county. I can't find Trusten's ex/estranged wife, Myra, nor his son, William, unless he's the William listed here, in which case he should have been listed below Trussey.

3. 1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #43 of 51): Carlisle P.O., Haddon Twp., Sullivan Co., IN, Roll M653_298, p. 749, PN 43, 300/300, enumerated 19 Jun 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Is this Trussie's wife or his step-mother?

5. 1880 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): not found.

6. WorldConnect / Ancestry World Trees (online at RootsWeb.com/Ancestry.com). One file here makes Trusten's wife the daughter of James Thomas OSBORN & Ruth Nelson of Franklin Co., IN. (Note that, among other things, Franklin County and Sullivan County are on opposite sides of Indiana.)
