  This census tells us that Lucinda is James' third wife.  The census says they have been married 5 years, so married about 1895.  The last two Trussell children, Eva and Cena, are her children.  Erastus is the only one whose mother is reported born in Alabama, so his mother would be the firrst wife.  The other two sons after him are the children of the second wife.  No child reported here matches the daughter named Hattie who is reported int eh 1930 census named Harriett, reported as 31 years old, so born about 1899.

  James is living about 3 doors away from a George Trussell, age 54, reported as born in Arkansas.  One census reports George born in Tennessee.  His father is variously reported as born in Tennessee or Arkansas.  Since James' father is reported here as born in Mississippi, they may not be brothers, but could be cousins.
