PECK Genealogy, in part -
This data is extracted from "A Genealogical Account of the Descendants in the Male Line of William PECK, one of the founders in 1638 of the Colony of New Haven", by Darius PECK, of Hudson, NY. Printed in 1877 by Byron & Getz, Steam Book Printers of Hudson NY (signed) Zibe L. Drollinger, Major Infantry, U S Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana.
Frederick Adams Virkus, Compendium of American Genealogy, 4 vols. (Chicago, IL: Virkus Co, 1930), Vol. IV, p. 162. Although the Virkus work is widely discredited because of its utter lack of documentation, it may have some validity in this case. Ziba Drollinger, George and Susan's son, was a graduate of West Point Military Academy with a lifelong passion for genealogy. One can assume at least that the information on himself that he submitted to Virkus is correct. Letters he wrote in pursuing his heritage as well as a detailed fan chart survive him. Margaret Rupel Bullock, Woodland, California, a direct descendant of Quinby Drollinger, has been able to support most of Ziba's data with documents.

Karl Friedrich von Frank
Karl Friedrich von Frank (born July 28, 1894 in Vienna , ? July 18, 1975 in Ferschnitz ; also: Karl Friedrich von Frank zu Döfering ) was an Austrian private scholar in the fields of history , genealogy and heraldry as well as landowner.
After the Second World War, he devoted himself exclusively to genealogy and heraldry, the many inquiries and his publications, as well as his possessions. He died on July 18, 1975 ten days before his 81st birthday at Senftenegg Castle near Ferschnitz in Lower Austria, where he was also buried in the chapel.
With all of this as back ground Clella Ruth Drollinger sent me a typewritten letter between Baron von Frank and Mrs. Edna M.O. Drollinger RFD #1Box 48, Roosevelt Utah U.S.A. dated Dec 1 1952
... It was in 1930/31 that Major Ziba L. Drollinger Fort Benjamin Harrison Ind. put queries concerning this family before me, but the matter was not concluded. I don't know what became of him and never heard of him again. He especially wanted to secure a very rare book for him. ... "Poems and other adjoined pieces of Mr. Carl (Karl) Friedrich Drollinger deceased Privy Councilor and secret archivist to the Prince of Baden - Durlach and also a Commemoration speech on him." by J.J. Spreng, Frankfurt 1745. When I finally secured the book, my letter to Major came back unclaimed. He must have changed address. Thus the book is still in my library. This famous Drollinger was born in Durlach, Baden. He was no direct ancestor of your husband, but obviously belonged to the same clan in Baden. I may mention, that I am living in the Soviet-zone of Austria, where all the mail is censored. (This letter like all my mail for abroad is going to be mailed in the West, of course) ...
