| Notes |
- As of 3 Sep 2023 and after much research - much of which is based upon many new documents that have become available (through Ancestry.com) from years passed - the following is what I, David H. Drollinger, believe to be true or probable regarding William Trollinger (born abt 1826 in South Carolina; death date uncertain at the time of this writing). Also, after doing extensive genealogical research on the Drollinger surname including its many spelling variations including the Trollinger spelling beginning in 1995, it long ago became clear that virtually ALL documents (i.e. censuses, birth/marriage/death/burial records, headstones, obituaries, death notices, etc.) are prone to contain mistakes - some being honest mistakes and some being deliberate "mistakes" - because they ALL were created by people who are ALL fallible including me. So, it is very important that everyone keep that in mind when giving consideration to the details of ANY document. With that being said, here is what I think: Because of their ages at the time of the 1850 Census, it appears that William Trollinger was presumably married to Emiline Mahulda MNU (Maiden Name Unknown to me as of this writing) and that this was the first marriage for both of them and together they had four children, those being; Amanda (born abt 1845); Albert Bomar (born Apr 1846); James (born abt 1848) and M. Trollinger (female, born abt 1848, probable twin to James). Then sometime within the next few years William and Emiline part ways and Emiline and James C. Morrison become united in some fashion and together produce at least two children together, those being Sarah Emmaline Morrison (born 1858) and Malisa Ann Morrison (born 1861) (ref the 1860 Census where they are all shown). Also in the 1860 Census, Emiline's 14 year old son, Albert Bomar Trollinger, is living with her. I believe the census taker simply made a mistake by listing Albert as a Morrison instead of a Trollinger. It is not known to me as I have not seen any evidence as to exactly what became of Emiline and when/where she died. After William and Emiline parted ways, William and Nancy Jennings (Jennings being her apparent maiden name) married and together, they produced at least eight children, those being; Jane (born abt 1856); Martha (born 1860); Hosea (born abt 1863); Elizabeth (Born abt 1864); Sarah (born abt 1867); Fannie (born abt 1871); Bomar (born 1873) and William (born 1875). Everyone needs to also keep in mind these people were living through the Civil War era in the south and being the turbulent times they were, it no doubt caused much stress upon everyone including their marriages and made record keeping of any type extra difficult.

His son, William's death certificate lists him as "Bill Trollinger".
Again confusion surrounds this William Trollinger. His exact age is hard to determine due to the different ages given in the census found. I place him as the consort of Hulda and husband of Jane to connect him in the tree. This is conjecture and speculation on my part and he may not be the William born 1826 at all. GLD Dec 2012
Note: Presumed brothers, William and Samuel Trollinger are listed herein as the possible sons of James J. Trollinger only as a guess on the part of Gordon L. Drollinger. I also believe it is a possibility. DHD
