Description
Robert Trimble was a staunch Jeffersonian Republican, who in 1802 was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives, where he served only one term. He intensely disliked the tumult of politics and turned down two nominations to the U.S. Senate. In 1807, he was appointed to the Kentucky Court of Appeals and then served as U.S. District Attorney from 1813-1817. James Madison appointed Trimble to the District Court of Kentucky in 1817 where he served for eight years. In 1826, President John Quincy Adams nominated Trimble as an associate justice to the Supreme Court where he served for two years until his death.
