As a Presbyterian, he took a prominent part in the reorganization and
rebuilding of the New Dublin Presbyterian Church in 1833. He built the
old Trolinger place, an old long log house, with each room opening on the

in 1886.
He owned several thousand acres east of Dublin. The property included
the Coffee Pot Farm, the "Old Trolinger Place," and the Elliott Place.

Notes: John Trolinger was born at Haw River, North Carolina in 1771. Early in the Revolutionary War his father, Jacob Henry Trolinger, bought a large tract of land in Montgomery County, now Pulaski County, Virginia. The family moved to Virginia shortly afterward. On the property was a salt peter cave where they mined salt peter and made gun powder for the Continental Army. Late in the War the family moved back to North Carolina. When a division of the property was made, Henry, John's eldest brother, received land in North Carolina and John, that in Pulaski County, Virginia. John Trolinger married Elizabeth Burris at Lynchburg, Virginia, 30 December 1792. She was born in 1776 and died in 1869. John Trolinger died near Dublin, Virginia, in 1842.

- Does your German family tree seem to be overloaded with Johanns and Marias? German children were given two names. Boys commonly were baptized with the first name Johannes (or Johann, often abbreviated Joh). German girls were baptized Maria, Anna or Anna Maria. This tradition started in the Middle Ages.
So a family could have five boys with the first name Johann. You can see the potential for confusion until you understand that the first name doesn?t mean a thing.
This is because German boys almost always were baptized with the first name Johannes (or Johann, abbreviated Joh). German girls were baptized Maria, Anna or Anna Maria. (This tradition started in the Middle Ages.) This means a family could (and commonly did) have five boys with the first name Johann. You can see the high potential for confusion until you understand that the first name doesn?t mean a thing.
Second Naming Tradition
The second name, known as the Rufname, along with the surname is what would be used in marriage, tax, land and death records.
So in a family with boys Johann Friedrich, Johann Peter, Johann Daniel, etc., the children would be called by (and recorded in documents as as) Friedrich, Peter and Daniel. Usually, the name Johannes in these records marked a ?true John? who would continue to be so identified.
By the 19th century, more Germans gave their children three names. Again, typically only one of the middle names was used throughout the person?s life. Roman Catholics often used saints? names, while most Protestant groups also included names from the Old Testament or even nonChristian mythology.
Nicknames
Another naming tradition involves nicknames, often called Kurzformen. In English, most nicknames are created by dropping the last syllable of the given name (for example, Christoper and Christine become ?Chris?). Germans, however, often shorten a given name by dropping the first part of it. It?s important to note that these familiar forms are used in church or other records, even though by today?s standards we might expect full or formal names to be used.
Some of the many examples (using more authentic but understandable German spellings) are:
Nicklaus = Klaus
Sebastian = Bastian
Christophel = Stophel
Christina = Stin or Stina
Katharina = Trin
Note that these familiar forms are used in church or other records, even though by today?s standards we might expect formal names to be used.
