• Notes

  It appears Fannie's biological father was John Bates which is why she is identified as such herein. Her mother's maiden name was Larkins (or Larkin or Larkens - spellings differ from one document to another). Additionally, in some documents she is identified by her maiden name of Bates (or Gattes or Gettis or Gattis or other spelling variations of it) and other documents by Larkin (or other spelling variations of it). Ref her sister, Minerva's record for more information. The informant on Minerva's death certificate was her husband, Samuel M. Teer. As such, he is the person who was suppling the information about Minerva including the names of her parents, John Bates and Harriet Larkins (spelled as such). Because John and Harriet were Samuel's parents-in-law, it is presumed he would be familiar with the spellings of their names and would therefore be a more reliable source of that than other folks who came later such as children and grandchildren or nieces and nephews, etc. Ref Fannie's son, Thomas' death certificate where she is identified as "Fannie Gattes" and her son, Cornelison's death certificate where she is identified as "Fannie Bates". In the 1900 and 1910 census Fannie states she is the mother of 9 children with 7 living. Who is her 9th child? John Will Trollinger was the informant on Fannie's husband, Thomas Trollinger's death certificate. Depending upon who exactly he is it would appear that he could be the missing child of Fannie and Thomas. 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Fannie Trohuger [Fannie Trollinger] Age: 40 Birth Date: Dec 1859 Birthplace: North Carolina Home in 1900: Graham, Alamance, North Carolina [Alamance] Race: Black Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Head Marital Status: Married Marriage Year: 1875 Years Married: 25 Father's Birthplace: North Carolina Mother's Birthplace: North Carolina Mother: number of living children:7 Mother: How many children:9 Occupation: Washer woman Household Members: Name Age Fannie Trohuger 40 North Carolina (Son) Samuel Trohuger 17, Sep 1882 North Carolina; Occupation: Farm laborer (Daughter) Ada Trohuger 20, Aug 1879 North Carolina; Single; Occupation: Washer woman (Son) Thomas Trohuger 15, Sep 1884 North Carolina; Occupation: Day laborer (Son) Arthur Trohuger 12, Sep 1887 North Carolina (Son) Elma Trohuger 10, Mar 1889 North Carolina (Son) Eugene Trohuger 2, Mar 1898 North Carolina (Eugene should have been identified as Fannie's grandson and not son)
