• Notes

  Where is the evidence her middle name is Elizabeth? Do not confuse Mary Brannon-Trollinger with Mary Susan E. "Susie" Branan (1857-9 Oct 1928 Atlanta, GA) the daughter of Duke Hamilton Branan and Mary Allen Branan. They are two different people! Mary was the mother of 6 children, all living per the 1900 Census. Mary was the mother of 8 children, 6 living per the 1910 Census. 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
