Revolutionary War soldier and patriot, and of his descendants well into the 20th century. Trabue witnesses the surrender of the british forces at York Town in 1781 and later became an original member of the society of the Cincinnati in Virginia. The Trabues were among the principal coal-mine proprietors in the Midlothian area. and here maintained a tavern that was patronized both by travelers and by workers from mines in the vicinity."
