Subject: [MOIRON] Samuel TROLLINGER'S Children: A Couple Questions

Page 400 of the Past and Present: A History Of Iron County, Missouri ..."
says "...the fifth child of Samuel Trolinger, Jane Trolinger who married
Frank Sumpter." Since I do not seem to have this page and this is as quoted
to me, perhaps some of the answers or on this or adjacent pages. ("Jane" is
a third great grandmother in my direct line.)

Samuel TROLLINGER had two spouses. Adline TROTT and Eliza GALLAHER. I have
no reason to believe that Lucinda Jane was not the fifth child. I believe
she was probably the first child of Eliza GALLAHER. Most of the accounts I
have seen suggest Adline died in Tennessee. (Sam TROLLINGER was born in
Bedford County, Tennessee). The best evidence is that Harriet Edna was born
in Arkansas. Then it would seem likely that Adline died in Arkansas as it is
improbable that she would have returned to Tennessee to die. It is possible
that she died in childbirth and this of the fourth child that did not
survive.

Can anyone name or explain the missing child? Does anyone know the spouse of
Sarah Adline? Children and spouses are below.


Adline TROTT: Sarah Adline (unknown), Harriet Edna (John C. STRICKLIN),
Andrew Jackson (Sarah J. MYERS), ?

Eliza GALLAHER: Lucinda Jane (William Franklin SUMPTER), Mary Emily (Yancy
SHIPP), Rebecca (William M. VOLNER), John Henry (Mary Matilda ANDERSON),
Catherine (John Henry TURNER)
