      • found: Oxford DNB online, 7 Oct. 2014(John Trussell (bap. 1575, died 1648), antiquary and historian, was baptized on 19 January 1575 at St Dunstan-in-the-West, London; three literary works published in the mid-1590s, apparently written by a young man, have been attributed to Trussell: Raptus I. Helenae: the First Rape of Faire Hellen, done into Poeme by J.T. (1595) shows the author's name amplified to "John Trussel", and refers to it as his 'first fruits'; the work is prefaced by three commendatory poems, all emphasizing the writer's youth; this may create a problem in accepting Trussell's authorship of a second poem published a year earlier, An Ould Facioned Love (1594), by "J.T. gent.", which has also been tentatively attributed to him, unless Faire Hellen had been written earlier; the third work consists of three dedicatory verses signed "John Trussell" prefixed to Triumphs over Death, a poem written by the Jesuit Robert Southwell and published after his execution in 1595; clearly there was a young poet in London named John Trussell publishing in the 1590s, and he could plausibly be identified with the antiquary; by 1606 John Trussell had settled in Winchester and in that year was elected a freeman of the city; once established in Winchester, Trussell pursued an active career as a provincial attorney, appearing in the city court, quarter sessions, and assizes; Trussell's real love, however, was history)
