      Pennsylvania German Pioneers" stated they were Palatine Immigrants departing Rotterdam, next sailing to Dover, England, arrived at Philadelphia 20 Sep 1738 on ship "Friendship" commanded by Captain Beech. Adam and Eberhard, Adam's cousin, left their home and made their home and made their way up the Rhine River to Rotterdam and sailed by the way of the English Channel to Port of Dover, England to Philadelphia, PA, aboard the ship "Friendship." Eberhard remained in Pennsylvania, at least he did not go to North Carolina with Adam. They arrived in Sep 1738 and took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown on 20 Sep 1738. Adam went with other Germans to Orange (now Alamance) County, NC. It is known he lived in Pennsylvania, maybe Bucks county for a while before moving to North Carolina. It was reported the move took place because land was getting so expensive in Pennsylvania. In Orange County he was instrumental in establishing a Union Lutheran and Reformed Church on the "pike leading from Salisbury to Hillsborough at Haw River."

      He emigrated to America, presumably with his entire family, landing at Philadelphia on 20 September 1738. The tombstone of Adam Trolinger in the old family burying ground at Haw River, North Carolina, states that his eldest son, Jacob Henry, came with him to Pennsylvania in 1737 (1738 is more probably correct) and thence to North Carolina. Here Adam Trolinger and his family settled and resided until his death in 1803.
