• Notes

  When one carefully examines her (Bella Catherine nee Trollinger) marriage document with James Henry Trollinger (born 17 Mar 1847) it identifies her parents as Joseph and Treacy[sic] (Theresa) Trollinger. 1880 United States Federal Census Name: Bella Trollinger Age: 24 Birth Year: abt 1856 Birthplace: North Carolina Home in 1880: Graham, Alamance, North Carolina Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Wife Marital Status: Married Spouse's Name: Henry Trollinger Father's Birthplace: North Carolina Mother's Birthplace: North Carolina Occupation: Keeps House Household Members: Name Age Henry Trollinger 33 Bella Trollinger 24 Bertie Trollinger 7 North Carolina, Death Certificates Name: John William Trollinger Gender: Male Race: White Age: 86 Birth Date: 15 Apr 1883 Birth Place: North Carolina, United States Death Date: 5 Mar 1970 Death Location: Chapel Hill, Orange Father's Name: D James Henry Trollinger Mother's Name: D Bell Turlington Trollinger Residence: Haw River, Alamance, North Carolina Confusion exists due to the erroneous data in the death certificate of her daughter Mary. Note the death certificate of her daughter Mary is in error obviously as father is listed as John Trollinger and mother as Mary Belle Jones. Mary Belle was 2 years old when her mother died so she would have little or no memory of her mother let alone her mother's maiden name. She should have known her father's name was James and not John. Her son Edwin was the informant for her death certificate and had to be mistaken as to the correct names of his grandparents. GLD
