born: 9 June 1850 - Cranberry Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania
died: 3 Oct 1920 - Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio
1850 - 1900
Ula Truby's father was John Calvin Truby. John was the son of David Truby and Mary Bortz. He was born in Cranberry Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania on June 9, 1850 and appears on the 1850 census as a one-month-old infant in that township.
The 1850 census was only supposed to show people who were living in the home on June 1, 1850, but obviously the enumerator listed the people who were in the home on the day he actually took the census. Unfortunately, he also failed to record the date he physically took the census as well, although we can assume that it was within the months of June or July.

John's obituary states he was born in Centerville which is the former name of Fertigs where Ula was born. However, Centerville/Fertigs is in Pinegrove Twp. Since David and Mary were living in Cranberry Twp within one month of when John was born, I'm inclined to believe that he was actually born in Cranberry Twp and not in Centerville.
It will also be noted that on the 1850 census, John is enumerated with the Brandon-Moorhead family which lives next to David and Mary Truby. It is possible that Mary had some kind of complications from her delivery and the neighbor took John home to care for him there. The census enumerates people in the household in which they are living on the day of the census and not necessarily with their family. I haven't found any indication that the Brandons or the Moorheads were relatives to the Trubys in that time period.
On June 1, 1860, the census shows 10-year-old John living with his parents in Hickory Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. Also living with them are his siblings: Jane, Sarah, Ann and Mary E.
June 1, 1880 still finds John and his parents in Cranberry Twp, Venango Co PA. John, 30 and single, is working as a laborer but he was unemployed for 9 months during the census year. Also in the home are John's siblings: Maria, Henrietta, Margaret and Clara.
John married Henrietta Karnes, daughter of Jacob Karnes and Frances "Fanny" Stewart about 1881. To date, I haven't found documentation of their marriage, but it most certainly took place in Venango County.
They were living in Pennsylvania on Jan 28, 1882 when Emmett Andrew was born and in Warren, Warren Co PA when Hazel O was born on Nov 27, 1887. By Apr 1, 1889, the family had moved to Fertigs, Venango Co PA where Eula Jacob was born. Fern A was born on Apr 1, 1892 supposedly in Oil City, but most likely in Fertigs. Lyman Irvin was born June 16, 1894 in Warren Co PA. Gilbert K and Mabel Inez were most likely twins as Gilbert's marker indicates he was born in 1897 and Mabel was born on Aug 30, 1897 in Ohio. As you can see, the family moved around quite a bit.

Again, the 1890 census was burned in a fire and was almost completely destroyed.
