Notes - JACOB TROLLINGER, JR. (1798 - 1870)
&
SARAH (SALLY) JACOBS (1803 - 1849)
JACOB TROLLIBNGER, JR., was born on November 16, 1798, in George's Creek
Valley of Allegany County, Maryland. His parents were JACOB DROLLINGER,
SR., and ANNA CRISTENEY DUCKWORTH.
JACOB, JR., was born and raised on his parents' farm on Dan's Mountain in
George's Creek Valley. Little is known of youth. However, on May 21,
1823, he obtained a license to marry his first cousin, SARAH (SALLY)
JACOBS. Her parents were JACOB JACOBS and MARY SPENCER and she had been
born in Allegany County, Maryland in 1803.
Nine children were born to JACOB, JR., and SARAH. They were: EMILY, who
married AHIMAAZ JACOBS; Nimrod, who married Martha Shaw; Drucilla; Mary
Margaret, who married Cephus Duckworth; Sarah, who married Isaac Mosier;
and Ann Christina, who married Henry Funderberg. The names of the
other three are presently unknown.
JACOB, JR., followed in his father's farming footsteps in George's
Creek Valley until he became seriously afflicted with asthma. It made it
impossible for him to engage in hard labor for the next 40 years. As a
result, after SARAH died in George's Creek Vallley in about 1849 and was
apparently buried there on the family farm, JACOB, JR. accompanied his
son, Nimrod, to Bath Township in Greene County, Ohio, in 1853 and lived
with him on his prosperous farm near the hamlet of Byron.
JACOB, JR., resided with Nimrod and his family until his death on
February 13, 1870. During his lifetime, his political affiliation had
been with the Democratic Party. He was buried in the Glen Forest
Cemetery at Yellow Springs, Ohio. His grandson, Charles Oliver
Trollinger, was later buried beside him.
