  • Notes 
    • It appears that William broke with several generations of tradition by choosing to go by the 'Trollinger' spelling of his surname instead of 'Trolinger'. We here at Drollingergenealogy.com would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows the story of why he made this decision so that it can be added to his record herein for the sake of posterity.
