Notes - There appears to be 2 Mary Trollingers. This was probably caused by the German naming custom. The first name was a spiritual name like a biblical name. The second name was more of a secular name and that is the name the person would be know as through out their life. Maria or Mary being a common name. Since the children of Mary and John Huffman was born at a time that overlaps the Wall children, this would support the idea of two Mary's rather than one Mary married or living with two different men.

"At one time it was believed that Mary Trollinger married first Adam Wall and second John Huffman, but this is not the case. There appears to be two Mary Trollingers, the one married to Huffman, the other single at the time the deeds were written. (1804 when Jacob Henry's estate was settled) See also vol I p 279.
