Notes - The following is my case for why Alfred Hosea Trollinger is most likely not the son of Mary Brannon but rather the son of Alice Payne:
Albert Bomar Trollinger married Alice Payne 14 Apr 1872. Albert's son, Alfred Hosea Trollinger was born 10 Mar 1873 about thirteen months later which would most likely make Alice the mother of Alfred. Albert's subsequent wife's (Mary Brannon) death notice states that Alfred Hosea was one of her "five sons". This may or may not be true that Mary was actually the mother of Alfred. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence that Alfred Hosea is not the son of Mary Brannon is the 1900 Census where Mary states she is the mother of six children with all six still living (those six children would have to be Albert, Benjamin Bomar, Rachel, Thomas Benjamin, Samuel Jim and Mary Hulda). If Alfred really was her son, Mary would have stated that she was the mother of seven children, not six. Mary also states in the 1900 Census that she and Albert have been married for twenty years which would place their marriage year at about 1880. Because Alfred's birth year is 1873 he was born about seven years before Mary and Albert were married. Hopefully, positive proof will soon surface that settles this issue for good. DHD 4 Sep 2023

Hi Gordon,
Happy to share with you! My mom told me that her grandfather was always called "Hose", short for Hosea, and that some folks called him "Hosie." Otherwise, she didn't know about the Alfred until shortly before he died and she had no information about his parents. I noticed that in the 1880 census, Hosie was listed as living in Franklin, Georgia, with Emiline Morrison, his grandmother; so there is some connection with the name Morrison. It shows that Hosie's parents were born in South Carolina. I have more questions than answers about who his parents were.
I had started writing this, but before I sent this, I received your email with all the questions, so I will answer the questions I can and then send you another email. It may take me a few days to gather all the information I have. I understand your confusion with the South Carolina branch, I've been struggling with it as well.
Cheryl
