These townships border what was Orange County, now Alamance, and encompass the area where the Drollingers were known to have settled and also the area of Frieden's Church at Gibsonville.
      26. It is not known at this time when John, Sr., disposed of the remaining 100 acres of his original grant. Guilford deed indexes do not indicate a sale under his name, nor does there seem to be a sale of that piece under the name of other members of the family or by the sheriff. A page by page search of the deed books has yet to be done. John, Jr. may have already moved to Tennessee although he did not sell his 100 acres until 1819.

  • Notes 
    • 1. Frederick1 Drollinger was born between 1774 and 1780 in Guilford, North Carolina. He married Barbara Wenick 25 August 1801 in Guilford County, North Carolina. Frederick's will dated 26 June 1817 was proved in the Guilford County Court's February Term of 1818, so his death took place sometime in that 8 month period, most likely February 1818. His resting place is unknown.
      No document yet uncovered directly names a father for Frederick Drollinger. However, deeds and court records in Guilford County, North Carolina, and Preble County, Ohio, point to John as his father. John Drollinger received a grant of 500 acres in Guilford County from the state of North Carolina in 1784. Beginning in 1800 he sold off the grant in 100 acre parcels, each for $100. On September 20th of that year, he sold pieces to his son John, Jr. and Frederick. Frederick's deed does not name him as a son. Both deeds refer to these parcels being "part of a larger tract of five hundred acres" that John Drollinger obtained from the state of North Carolina. John Jr.'s 100 acres is named as the seat tract. Witnesses for both deeds were William and Henry Drollinger. Six weeks later on 1 November 1800 John sold 100 acres from the tract to his son Henry and this time the witnesses were William and John Drollinger. These three deeds were all recorded in the August 1804 Term in Guilford County.
      The next sale involving these individuals was 26 May 1804 when John Drollinger, Sr. sold a 93 acre Orange County seat tract to son William, witnessed by John and Henry Drollinger. The deed was proved on the oath of the witness John Drollinger. In the margin is the notation that the deed was delivered by William Drollinger. This deed was also recorded in the August 1804 term, but in Orange County. In this case the land was not from the 500 acre tract in Guilford, but from a grant entered in 1779, surveyed in 1782, and issued in 1784. The land was described as being on the waters of Traverses Creek with the Guilford County line as one boundary. The deeds identify all parties as being of Guilford County. The last sale found from the larger tract was from John to Adam Drollinger, who is not named as his son. The sale is witnessed by Henry and Frederick on 20 December 1813 and recorded in the November Term of 1814.
      Although John was unable to sign his name, he had a distinctive mark - a heavy bold D that looked as if it had been drawn with a Sharpie pen. Very importantly, it is that distinctive mark that sets this John Drollinger apart from all others of the same name. All these deeds were recorded with John's distinctive mark.
      To summarize: John Drollinger sold 4 pieces of his original tract to Drollinger men John Jr., Frederick, Henry, and Adam. He sold a separate tract to William Drollinger. John, Henry, and William are named as his sons, Frederick and Adam are not.
      These lands begin changing hands in 1816 when Adam sold his piece to neighbor Adam Strader on 4 September with the deed not recorded until November 1831. Strader as well as the witnesses John Chrisman and John Waynick carry surnames names associated with the Drollingers in several locations. Two years later on 29 September 1818 Frederick's land was disposed of at public auction by Frederick's widow Barbara. It was purchased by Catherine Drollinger, recorded in the May Term 1823. Witnesses were Adam Strader and John Chrisman.
      John [Jr.], identified as being of Willson [sic] County, Tennessee, sold his 100 acres to William of Preble County, Ohio 17 August 1819 and the transaction was recorded in Guilford May Term 1820. Henry kept his acreage until 9 March 1831 when he sold to Daniel Lough, recorded November Term 1832.
      These men are further linked by court records in Preble County, Ohio. The Chancery Court Record, Vol. D, February 1826 records that John Morkert, administrator of the estate of William Drollinger, petitioned the heirs to sell land in Preble County. He stated that William died in 1824 without issue and listed the brothers and sisters who survive him: John Drollinger, Adam Drollinger, Catharine Drollinger, Henry Chrisman and Elizabeth his wife, late Drollinger; John Hetsler and Barbara, his wife, late Drollinger; Christena Drollinger; Frederick Drollinger, deceased, his children, Henry, Eli, Gabriel, Aaron, Polly, Barbara, Martha, and Elizabeth Drollinger.
      Fortunately for Drollinger researchers a dispute over the title to William's Preble County land created records that provide critical information on these individuals. Preble County Chancery Court Minutes provide a lengthy record of confusion in the settlement of William Drollinger's estate. It is a litany of errors and omissions. The important item from these seven pages is the answer of Elias Drollinger in response to Thomas Gilmore's complaint that William's heirs threatened to dispossess him of William Drollinger's Preble County land that he purchased at a public auction in 1825. Gilmore claimed that because of an error in the appraisal returns to the court, his land was listed as the southeast quarter of section 21 rather than the southwest quarter and he sought to confirm his title to the land.
      In relation to proving that John Drollinger is the father of Frederick Drollinger, the following points made under oath by Elias are important:
      1. That William Drollinger was Elias's uncle.
      2. That Henry Drollinger, brother of William, was not ever notified of the proceedings.
      3. That Henry lived in Guilford County, North Carolina, at the time of William's death and that he lived there for some time after Morkert sold William's land and then moved to Fountain County, Indiana, where he lived [in 1836].
      4. That Elias, Polly, Gabriel, Aaron, Barbara, Martha, and Elizabeth were the children of Frederick Drollinger, deceased brother of William.
      5. That at the time of the land sale, 3 December 1825, Gabriel, Barbara, Aaron, Martha, and Elizabeth were minors under the age of 21.
      6. That John Drollinger, brother of William, "died about four or five years since in the State of Tennessee leaving several children now minors under the age of 21?"
      7. That Barbara Hetzler, sister of William, "died about three or four years since, in Fountain County, Indiana, ? leaving several children minors under the age of 21?"
      These North Carolina and Ohio documents combined lead to the conclusion that Frederick Drollinger is the son of John Drollinger, Guilford County, North Carolina, and brother of John, Jr., Henry, William, and Adam, as well as Catharine Drollinger, Elizabeth (Drollinger) Chrisman, Barbara (Drollinger) Hetzler, and Christena Drollinger. And that Frederick's children were Elias, Polly, Gabriel, Aaron, Barbara wife of Elijah Harkrider, Marta, and Elizabeth married to John Noggle. At this time no record found has even hinted at an identity for Frederick's mother.
      As seen in the above discussion, Frederick acquired property from his father nearly a year before his marriage. This gave him an opportunity to build some kind of shelter and perhaps to look forward to profits from one growing season while he lived with his parents and siblings. The productivity of Frederick's land is unknown, but there is a hint of its quality in the fascinating analysis of flora and fauna by Christian Gottlieb Reuter in Records of the Moravians in North Carolina. As the surveyor of Wachovia, he is, of course, describing what he sees in there, but the lands are similar enough to make the descriptions applicable to Guilford County. Frederick's boundaries are marked by a hickory and two black walnuts, trees that grow on the best land according to Reuter. We can learn a few more specifics about the land when Auburn University's forestry department tells us that "Black walnut is found on fertile, moist sites in the east and central U.S. and is intolerant of shade." Hickory and black walnut trees belong to the same family, so perhaps we can make a leap and envision Frederick's land as sunny, well-watered, and productive. It was to this land that he brought his bride Barbara Wenick around 25 August 1801.
      Barbara also came from a German family, but which one? Again confusion surrounds the surname because of German and English pronunciation. Documents in disparate places record not only Wenick, but Wenich,Weighnich, Wenig, Winick, Wernick, Waynock, Waynick - all could be variations of the same German name. There are several possible fathers with a variation of the name in the neighborhood where Frederick and Barbara lived, one Daniel Wenich whose land adjoined John Drollinger's. Future research will concentrate on putting Barbara in the correct family.
      Shortly before their first wedding anniversary, Frederick and Barbara took their first child Elias to be baptized at Frieden's Lutheran Church. Elias was born 15 July 1802. Curiously, only three of their children, Elias, Marta, and Elisabeth (Maria Elisabet in the record), appear in the translated records of Frieden's Church. This seems unusual. Inquiries as to the whereabouts of the original German records have not yet produced them. The translation in typescript is troubling because events do not seem to be in chronological order. One would expect church records to be in chronological order or at least in a rough approximation.
      None of the Drollingers seem to be enumerated on the 1810 U. S. census in Guilford County, nor is Frederick enumerated in Orange County where he picked up a 50 acre parcel in May of 1810. Frederick is included as Frederick Trolender on the 1815 tax list for Guilford County, the only Guilford tax list known to exist before the 1860's. He had 100 acres valued at $200 and 1 white pole. Indented under his name is "for John Trolender 100-125" which equates to 100 acres valued at $125. This John could be his father or his brother John. He is listed as a non-resident taxpayer (Fredk Drolinger) on the 1816 tax list for Orange County with his 50 acres valued at $50. (Using the Reuter tree descriptions as a guide, this was poor land. Boundary markers are post oaks which Reuter says grow on poor land but "gives good wagon-wood." The assigned value seems to confirm the land quality.)
      The remaining records extant for Frederick pertain to the settling of his estate in 1818. He was ill in June of 1817 when he wrote his will, stipulating that his estate be divided equally among his children. He wanted his 50 acre tract [this would be the one on Orange County] sold along with as much of his personal property as was necessary to pay his debts with the balance going to his children. He named Joseph Gibson and George Christman as his executors and Joseph as well as Adam Strader witnessed his mark. Adam proved the will and at the same time George renounced his right of executor and Frederick's wife Barbara was appointed administrator and Conrad Shoemaker posted a bond of $200. And so began Barbara's long widowhood.
      Barbara was left with seven children between the ages of 3 and 16. Fortunately, the oldest was a boy. Elias was no doubt well experienced in farm work, especially because his father had been ill for some months. Polly and Barbara as the oldest girls would help with the younger children. Nonetheless, Barbara surely sought support and solace among her friends and relatives. Barbara was also a North Carolina native, possibly born to the Daniel Wenich family whose property adjoined John Drollinger's. As such she was part of the close knit German community residing in Guilford and Orange counties. She knew many who were moving, particularly to the Miami Valley in Ohio and she soon contemplated moving herself. Nothing indicates that Barbara had any income or money set aside to sustain her family, so in the fall of 1818 she sold Frederick's 100 acres to Catharine Trollinger for $228. Likely she departed for Ohio soon after the sale not wanting to travel through the winter. She was definitely in Preble County by the 8th of April 1819 when she executed a power of attorney allowing her "trusty" friend George Chrisman to act in her behalf, and she headed a household in Lanier Township, 1820.
      A widow with seven young children would not attempt to travel that distance alone and she would only have gone where she had relatives or very close friends. Circumstantial evidence suggests the Elizabeth Weneck who married Daniel Streader in 1798 was Barbara's sister and perhaps Daniel Wenick, Jr., was her brother. Both Daniels appear in many Preble County records, but so far there are no direct ties to Barbara Drollinger. Daniel Strader began his journey from Guilford in 1803, settling in Preble in 1809 and was well established in the community by the time Barbara moved there.
      Barbara remained in Ohio for the next 30 years. She was taxed in Lanier township through 1830, but not later. About this time she must have moved to the Darke County home of her daughter and son-in-law Mary and Elijah Harkrider and when they left Ohio, in the Darke County household of Elizabeth and John Noggle where presumably she died sometime after the 1850 enumeration. She was 72 in 1850, a very old woman for her time. No record of her death nor any cemetery record has been found in either Darke or Preble counties. It is not likely that she was buried in Preble County, but all published cemetery records there were also checked. So in the end there is no tangible place to pay respects to this woman, first in a line of women who did what they had to do, no matter the circumstances.

      Children of Frederick1 Drollinger and Barbara Wenick were as follows:
      + 2 i. ELIAS2 DROLLINGER, born 15 July 1802 in Guilford County, North Carolina, died 2 January 1871 in Wabash County, Indiana. He married Annie T. Izor 14 September 1823 in Preble County, Ohio.
      3 ii. POLLY DROLLINGER, born 1803 in North Carolina, married Washington Clark 10 May 1826 in Preble County, Ohio. A John Greene was assigned as guardian for Washington Clark and his sisters Sophia, Nancy, and Amelia, children of Lawrence Clark, deceased, in 1819. No more records have been found pertaining to the guardianship or the estate of Lawrence. The Washington Clarks do not appear under his name on the 1830 or 1840 census enumerations for Preble or Darke counties, but snippets of evidence indicate that they were there at least until some time in 1838. They may have lived with another family, but until more clues are uncovered, a search for them as extra people in a household in the presumed age categories has been postponed. Although Washington Clark is not on the 1838 personal property tax list for Preble County, he is on the 1839 list with (moved) after his name. Noted in the Abstracts from Early Eaton Ohio Newspaper, 1825-1850 were letters at the Gratis post office for Washington Clark on November 3, 1836, April 6, 1837, and July 5, 1838. Since the 1839 personal property tax roll lists him as moved, perhaps he was receiving correspondence from someone encouraging him to leave Preble County for another location. The evidence of correspondence implies that Washington could read. Washington Clark does not appear to have purchased or sold any land, but witnessed a deed in which John and Rebecca Brower purchased 120 poles from the German Baptist Church. The deed states that Brower presided over the church as bishop. The other witness was James Wilson. All these tantalizing clues suggest that while published resources have been scoured to no avail, in-depth onsite research in Preble County might reveal more information on Polly and Washington Clark.
      + 4 iii. BARBARA DROLLINGER, born 28 April 1806 in North Carolina, died 4 February 1886 in Benton County, Missouri. She married Elijah Harkrider 28 May 1826 in Preble County, Ohio.
      + 5 iv. GABRIEL DROLLINGER, born 29 June 1810 in Guilford County, North Carolina, died 18 December 1887 in LaPorte County, Indiana. He married Mary Elizabeth Chapman. 27 April 1834 in LaPorte County, Indiana.
      + 6 v. AARON DROLLINGER, born 1812 in North Carolina, died 16 April 1897 in Keeler, Van Buren County, Michigan. He married Elizabeth Mikesell 1 January 1835 in Darke County, Ohio.
      7 vi. MARTA DROLLINGER was born 14 February 1813 in Guilford County, North Carolina, and baptized 21 March 1813. Sponsors were her parents Friterich Drollinger and his wife Barbara. No information has been found on Martha beyond her mention in her brother Elias's 1836 deposition regarding their Uncle William's land. The only thing Elias said about her at that time was that she was a minor when William died. In contrast, for the other sisters he provided husbands' names and whether or not they were deceased. There is no marriage record for Marta Drollinger under any variation of her name in Preble, Darke, Montgomery, or Miami counties in Ohio or in Wabash County, Indiana, where some of her siblings eventually lived. No one of her name is listed in any of the published cemetery records of Preble or Darke counties. There is simply no more information on her at this time.
      + 8 vii. MARIA ELISABET DROLLINGER, born 18 March 1815 in Guilford County, North Carolina, died 11 November 1874 in Darke County, Ohio. She married John Noggle. 29 May 1834 in Darke County, Ohio.
