  • Notes 
    • The original family name was Trombauer or or Tromboor or Trumpbour. In Canada it became Trumpour.
      Paul was the fourth son of Johannes Trumboor and Christine Fiere. His family had settled in Duchess County in the Colony of New York around 1709. Paul was baptized as Paulus in Katisbaan, New York on May 31, 1757. He married Deborah Emery on August 9, 1780. Paul and Deborah had two sons and six daughters.
      At the time of the American Revolution, Paul and his brother Johannes (or 'Haunts') sided with the British and left for Canada, as part of the United Empire Loyalists emigration of 1779-1781. Paul was an officer in Lieutenant De Lancey's brigade and later came to Adolphustown, Ontario by way of Sorel, Quebec with Peter Van Alstine's group of Associated Loyalists in June 1784. His brother 'Haunts' settled close by in what is now Prince Edward County at Green Point just across the Bay of Quinte from Paul.
      Arriving almost destitute, as one of the earliest settlers, Paul was entitled to 2000 acres of land. He developed his property quickly and lived by selling horses. Paul played a prominent role in early Adolphustown. He served as a magistrate and as Captain of Militia in the War of 1812, both at Kingston, under the Hon. Richard Cartwright and as a commander of Trumpour's Dragoons, a troop of horse of the 1st Regiment, Lennox Militia.
      Paul and Deborah's son John married Elizabeth Dorland, the daughter of Loyalist settler John Dorland. Their 2nd son Joseph married Elizabeth's sister Lydia Dorland.
      Paul died of sickness in 1813 at the age of 65 years.
