General Assembly. House of Representatives Illinois. Office of Secretary of State Illinois. Supreme Court Judges Antislavery movements Trumbull, Julia Maria Jayne, 1824-1868 Politicians' spouses Description An account of the resource Lyman Trumbull was born in Colchester, Connecticut on October 12, 1813, to Benjamin and Elizabeth (Mather) Trumbull. In 1837 he moved to Belleville, Illinois, and won election to the state legislature as a Democrat in 1840.  Trumbull was appointed Secretary of State from 1841-1842 and later a justice of the State Supreme Court from 1848-1853.  As an opponent of slavery Trumbull joined the Republican Party in 1854 and ran successfully against Abraham Lincoln to become a United States Senator from Illinois. Trumbull remained in the United States Senate until 1873 after which he resumed practice of law in Chicago. In 1880 he tried as a Democrat for Governor of Illinois but was unsuccessful.                        While in the United States Senate he favored new bills opposing black slavery, passing a bill ending slavery in District of Columbia, which was amended, allowing blacks to testify in federal court and supported a bill which forbade the use of the Union Army to return runaway slaves to their owners.  In 1864, Trumbull worked with another senator to create the Freedman’s Bureau to help blacks with housing and, later, education.  He also voted for the first reconstruction act that created a new voters list that included African Americans.   Trumbull’s most prominent legislative achievement was his proposal of the 13th Amendment originally written by Senator John Henderson.  The 13th Amendment amended the United States Constitution so that slavery and servitude was illegal and it gave Congress the power to enforce it.  Trumbull was also a leading supporter of the 1866 Civil Rights Bill that was designed to protect freed slaves form Southern Black Codes. Trumbull was one of seven Republicans who broke party ranks and voted against the conviction of President Johnson during his impeachment trial in the Senate. In 1872 he joined other Liberal Republicans in supporting Horace Greeley’s presidential candidacy against the reelection of President Grant. He married Julia Jayne (d. Aug. 16, 1868) in June of 1843 and they had four children. Julia Jayne served as a bridesmaid at Abraham and Mary Lincoln's wedding. His second marriage was to Mary Ingraham, on November 3, 1877, with whom he had two daughters, Alma and Mae. Only one son survived Trumbull in death.  He died June 25, 1896 in Chicago.

L. Knight is making an effort to get the appointment, and by the earnest solicitation of the leading business men of the place, (and others) I have withdrawn my resignation - by what the people say to me, I am satisfide that nine tenth of the patrons of the Office would be very much opposed to Mr Knight having the Office. I represent this to you, by request of a number of our business men - a Mr H. R. Turpin, - who would give no better satisfaction, - also wants the Office - in noticing this small matter, you will confer a favor upon many of your personal friends, as they will show by a petition if desired - Our M. C. you know is a Cop yours very Respectfully, Alonzo Barnes P M <hr /> Alonzo Barnes. P M Prairie City Ill Resigned sometime ago in favor of Halterman.
