At thirty he had married a sixteenyear-old Kentucky girl, Margaret Trumbo, who bore him a daughter they named Lizzie. In 1849 Ormsby joined the rush to California with several male relatives, leaving his wife and baby behind. Soon convinced that his future fortunes lay in the West, if not on an even more distant horizon, he briefly returned to Kentucky in 1852 to bring his family.
