  • Notes 
    • The informant on William's death certificate was Julia Booth. It is unclear what her relationship with William was. She identifies William's father as James A. Trollinger. She may have been confused. William's mother's father's name was James Monroe Trollinger. Perhaps that is where the confusion may have come from. No "James A. Trollinger" can be found who could have been William's father. Therefore, his true father is unknown as of August 2023.
