  1. 1.  Betty Fay TRUSTYBetty Fay TRUSTY was born on 27 Sep 1929 in Quicksand, Breathitt, Kentucky, USA (daughter of Frank CHAPMAN and Martha TRUSTY); died on 13 Aug 2012 in Port Charlotte, Charlotte, Florida, USA.

    Notes:

    Data from the 1930 Census indicates that Betty was living in the home of her uncle, Thomas King, in Middleton, Ohio. The family cannot have been in Ohio very long, as each member, including six-month-old Betty and 1 year old Thomas King, Jr., were all born in Kentucky.
    Betty's son Tom Swier believed Betty to have been born in Hazard, Perry County, Kentucky. Betty told Patti Cunningham Swier that her maiden name was Campbell. In 1930, a marriage record for Odis Campbell and Martha Trusty appears in 1930 in Kentucky.
    The 1930 Census states that Martha is married, but her last name is given as Trusty, as is the name of her daughter Betty. I have several theories:
    1) Martha was married to a man surnamed Trusty, divorced, and moved in with her sister's family while the divorce became final. Martha remarried Odis Campbell, who adopted Betty.
    2) Martha was not married, but perhaps engaged and was not truthful with the census-taker because of her child. The father of her child could have been someone named Trusty or could have been Odis Campbell; it was not uncommon to send unwed mothers away to a relative somewhat removed from home in order to prevent scandal. If Odis was not Betty's father, he adopted her.
    3) Martha was married to someone surnamed Trusty who died. She married Odis Campbell and he adopted Betty.
    I am fairly certain the Martha and Betty Trusty in the home of Thomas King in 1930 are my ancestors:
    1) The age of Betty is right for the date of her birth, as is the state.
    2) Betty gave her mother's maiden name as Martha Trusty to Patti Cunningham Swier.
    3) Betty told Patti Cunningham Swier that her cousin Thomas promised to buy her a box of candy if she named her newborn third son after him. Thomas King, Jr. would, indeed, be Betty's cousin and close in age to him as well, which would indicate affinty if they grew up near each other.
