  • Notes 
    • Cornelia is the daughter of Mary E. Thompson and Unknown father. After Mary married Cornelius "Neal" Trollinger, it appears Cornelia adopted the Trollinger surname. She is identified as "Cornelia Thompson, step-daughter" of Cornelius in the 1900 Census.

      In the 1930 Census Anna Trollinger, age 20, is identified as "sister-in-law" to John Sartin who was head of household and married to Cornelia Trollinger-Sartin. So, who exactly is Anna Trollinger? Is she the wife of Cornelia's brother, Nathaniel? This would seem likely as he was not married to Myrtle Poteat until 1949. (DHD 28 Feb 2022)
