Kay, I came across the following which I hope is helpful:
published in the "Liberty Tribune" Clay County, Missouri
September 2, 1870
Castilian C. TRABUE. I was born in Powhatan County, Virginia, the 27th day of March, 1805. My paternal ancestors were Huguenots, and emigrated from France at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. I have no traditions of the Revolution. I emigrated with my father to Kentucky in 1806. I came to Clay County, Missouri in 1858 and have lived here ever since. I have always been a Whig in politics. The registrars disfranchised me, though I am under the law entitled to registration.
