Major William A. Trimble (1786-1821) was the brother of Allen Trimble, who was governor of Ohio in 1822 and 1826-1830. William Trimble practiced law in Highland County, Ohio, after graduating from Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky. He served in the 4th Infantry in the War of 1812, where he was captured by the British in action against Detroit. He also served in the 8th Infantry with General Andrew Jackson after the war. Trimble served in Florida and afterward returned to Highland County. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1820, but died in 1821.

Matthew Jouett (1788-1827) was born in Mercer County, Kentucky, and later studied law at Transylvania College. He returned to Kentucky to practice and began spending much of his time painting. He became well known for his portraits. He eventually abandoned his law work and became a full-time artist.
