  • Notes 
    • Due to the preponderance of evidence, Gordon L. Drollinger and I are in agreement that the spelling of Peter's surname should be 'Drollinger' and not 'Trollinger'. (David H. Drollinger 29 Sep 2021)

      Peter of Longswamp/Hereford Township, b. 4 July 1766, bp. 1767 at Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, in Montgomery County, but on the Berks border--just down the road from Longswamp/Hereford. He was the son ofJacob (Friedrich Jacob, the immigrant) and Anna Maria Schick. Peter and wife Susanna Herb had 7 children, 4 who were mentioned in Peter's
      will--he d. 20 September 1852 and is buried in Mertz Church,Longswamp. This is Gary's ancestor. THIS PETER NAMES JACOB AS HIS FATHER; JACOB AND ANNA MARIA APPEAR IN HIS BAPTISMAL RECORD. This Peter was too young to serve in the Revolutionary war. His father, Jacob, worked at the Hereford Furnace--1752 until his death abt. 1780. The Hereford furnace made cannonball and other weaponry for the Revolution and Jacob was a skilled worker there and could not be drafted for the militia.

      According to Laree Trollinger, Jacob worked for Thomas Mayburry (Mayberry) Iron works, Hereford furnace. Mayburry owned the furnace since 1745 (Bucks County Genealogical Society, Vol. 10, #2). Those working at the furnaces were not allowed to leave their work during the Revolution. Sometime between the years 1754 and 1758, Jacob married Anna Marie Schick, daughter of Valentine Schick, who had first title to land in Weissenberg Twp., Lehigh Co. (then Northhampton). The Schick property was approximately 10 miles from Mayberry's furnace where Jacob was later employed and where he and his wife are probably buried along with approximately 30 other persons, including Mayberry the ironmaster, in unmarked graves. Christian Schick is on the 1790 census in Hereford, and many Schicks (Shick, Sheek, etc.) appear in what was then Upper Bucks, then Northampton, now Northampton and Lehigh Counties.
