Seeking information on the TRUE family. Charles Walter TRUE was born July 13, 1890 (SSDI) or 1891 (family sources) in Green Leaf, Washington County, Kansas. He was the son of Henry Hubbacca TRUE and Kathryn CONNAUGHTON. Kathryn, the daughter of Hugh and Mary (GRANT) CONNAUGHTON, was originally from Wisconsin, but probably living in Atchison at the time of her marriage. Who was Henry? What is the significance of his middle name, Hubbacca. Neither Hubbacca nor any spelling variation I can think of shows up as a surname in either the Accelerated Index of the 1850 census or the Kansas IGI.
