  • Notes 
    • Trolinger/Trollinger siblings married Wigger siblings. Ruth Trolinger married John Wigger and William Trollinger married Harriett Wigger.

      Because she clearly identifies herself as Carolina in the 1880 Census, it appears that that is probably her true birth name and that Caroline as she is also known as, is her probable nickname.

      It does appear that Carrie ever had children.
