  • Notes 
    • For whatever reason, James Henry apparently chose to go by the single "l" spelling of his surname versus the double "l" spelling that his father went by. It should be noted that the vast majority of the Drollinger/Trollinger family tree who were born in North Carolina went by Trollinger, that being the double "l" spelling. (David H. Drollinger 28 May 2022)

      Methodist Minister.
