==Early life==
Trousdale was born in Orange County, North Carolina, the son of James and Elizabeth Dobbins Trousdale. His father was of Scots-Irish descent, and had served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. His father was given a land grant as payment for services in the Revolution, and used this grant to acquire several hundred acres in Sumner County, Tennessee.〔J. A. Trousdale, "A History of the Life of General William Trousdale," ''Tennessee Historical Magazine'', Vol. 2 (1916), pp. 119-136.〕 The family moved to this plot in 1796. In 1801, the family donated part of their land for the establishment of a new county seat for Sumner County, which was named Gallatin.〔 Trousdale attended public schools and studied under a tutor, the Reverend Gideon Blackburn.〔
