Gertrude Haywood was born 1848 in Raleigh, Wake County, NC the 7th of 9 known surviving children (3 boys/6 girls) born to the Hon. William Henry Haywood III and his wife, Jane Graham. She was twin to her sister, Margaret Nelson Haywood.

She was the paternal grandchild of William Henry Haywood II & Ann Sheppard of Raleigh; and gr-grandchild of William Henry Haywood I & Charity Hare of Edgecombe Co, NC. She was the maternal grandchild of Edward Graham of New Bern, Craven Co, NC.

Gertrude was just 4 years old when her father died in 1852. She weathered the Civil War remaining in Raleigh with her widowed mother who would be left grieving after the loss of 2 of her 3 sons in the war.

Gertrude married into the prominent Trapier family of Charleston & Georgetown, South Carolina, marrying two of the sons of Rev. Richard Shubrick Trapier & Windham/Wyndham Theodosia. She married (1st)on 4 Sep 1879 to William Shubrick Trapier (1850-1879) who died just about 2 months into the marriage. She then married his older brother, Edward Shubrick Trapier (1840-1909) in 1881, and by him would have four (4) daugthers:

As for her children, the eldest daughter Wyndham married Samuel A'Court Ashe, Jr. (1874-1932) of Raleigh, who is buried in Oakwood. Wyndham reportedly died in St. Simons Island, GA in 1967, but her burial place has not been located by this researcher.
