  • Notes 
    • Also known as Jacob Drullinger, originally his wife was Nancy Barkalow per phone call from Hamilton County Ohio Gen Soc secretary. However on examination of the marriage entry original the wife's name was Jane Martin. I am guessing that Jane's middle name was Rebecca but no evidence to support this found to date. The spelling errors make this a very hard man to trace and coupled with the loss of early records make it a nightmare. GLD 2012

      I am now most convinced that Jacob Drollinger (1792-1876 ) married to Ann Mason are the very probable parents of William (born abt 1816 OH) for the following reasons:
      1) The 1850 Census lists Ohio as the birthplace of William. Jacob Drollinger was living in Butler County, Ohio at the time.
      2) One of Jacob's son, Ambrose (b 1817) went by the 'Drullinger' spelling.
      3) William's birth date of 1816 could easily place him as the first child of Jacob and Ann who were married in 1815.
      4) William could easily be named after Jacob's younger brother, William who died as an infant.
      5) William's only known daughter was named Nancy which means she could have been named after his presumed mother, Nancy.
      6) Jacob died in Montgomery County, IN. William's son was born in adjacent Fountain County, IN proving they lived close to each other in IN.
      (David H. Drollinger 21 Apr 2012)

      Because Walter was married in the same county as the one Jacob Drollinger died in during a time frame that would be compatible with making him eligible as a child of theirs, I suspect Walter L. Drollinger could be the probable son of Jacob and Sarah Drollinger. If this proves to be correct, then his record needs to be connected to theirs.
