Hi Bob,
I was going over your FTM file and came across the notes. It is amazing the stuff we believe when we want to without any investigation at all. A simple look in a German English dictionary would have shot the Strolliger idea in the butt. A tramp is a Landstreicher or a Bummler. The verb is trampen. The problem is the bits and pieces we find we try to form an explanation out of. Case in point is Adam Drollinger. All of the printed sources have him in Haw River NC in 1745 in site of 3 legal documents which place him in PA. Two are land warrants and the other is a further oath of alliegence in Bucks County in 1750. The oath of alliegence became a Quaker baptism as it was mentioned in Gieuseppi's (SP) Quaker Records. It is an oath of alliegence in the printed archives of PA. If you miss the Hance Michel Droliner going to Haw River in 1745 (ship passenger lists index) then you have to explain away the 1750 oath which becomes a Quaker baptism of a further Adam. In my own oral history I had the tenuous connection to noble birth via the disinheritance route. The alleged person was a Jane Montgomery who was supposedly the "heir" of the Montgomery of Northern Ireland fortune. On the surface it is to be leaped at but inheritance was through the male lines and the peerage becomes extinct with no male issue. The only truth in the whole mess was the Montgomery name but the first name was Maria. Another family member tried to connect her to General Mongomery who was killed at Quebec. So approach family or oral history very warily.

Gordon,
I'm not sure where I got the Stonewall in Milton's middle name. I'll have to go back through the family stuff. His gravestone and the story about him in the Ringgold County Biographical Historic Record only identifiy him as M.S. I will change my info to M. Stone unless I find something more substantial. Will let you know if I do.

Bob,
I keep my hard copy stuff in looseleaf binders as that works easiest for me. No particular rhyme or reason, some times by county, some times by contributor, some times by state. It makes retrieval a bit easier. Then if it gets a bit much a new larger binder or several 1 inch ones. I believe I have the Gabrial J. as I dug up quite a bit on him. The genealogical forum is where I found the children of the second marriage on Milton posted by a Naomi Weatherford. If it is still there you may find an email address. I got some more Rdkone@aol.com on Milton Stone. Why do you have him as Stonewall? Joyce M. Smith of 1416 South 4th Street, Platte City MO 64079 has also done quite a bit of work on the Iowa Trullingers. Decatur county is where some of them went in addtion to Ringold county. I did transcribe the file over to the IBM. I just don't have a modem. I have a new one coming from peoplepc.com, sin up for their internet service for 3 years and you get the pc, not too bad a deal.

Sorry about the old IBM. After four IBM's, I bought a Gateway. I'm not a very dedicated old IBMer. I ran across Terry's "Esvelt Family Tree" while searching the Web for Trullinger. He is descended from Daniel and Elizabeth Johnson through the daughter Elizabeth Ellen. He referred me to you. I've kept him current with the info from you as he didn't have much information on the Milton my side of the family. By the way, if you haven't seen the "Oregon Trail Diary", (http://www.teleport.com/~eotic/biomenu.html) it has a Pioneer Family of the Month (Nov '96): "Gariel J. Trullinger, emigrant of 1848" you might be interested in. I don't know who submitted it. Just found it today. Thanks for the address. I will mail you copies of what I OCR scanned for you.

Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur Counties, Iowa,
(Lewis Publishing Company - 1887)
pp. 275 - 276
"M. S. TRULLINGER, justice of the peace and notary public, resides on section 8, Middle Fork Township, and is one of the pioneers of Ringgold County. He was born in Fountain County, Indiana, May 18, 1830, son of Gabriel and Charlotte (French) Trullinger, who were natives of Ohio, and the parents of two children, a son and daughter. He lived in his native county until he was eight years of age, when his father moved to the Black Hawk purchase, the Territory of Iowa.
Here our subject was reared amid the wild surroundings of frontier life, more frequently meeting with the red man than the white man, and often associating with the young Indians. He acquired a good, practical education by study at home and attending school in the log cabins.
He was married in 1850 to Margaret Carr, and they had five children, only two of whom are living - A. C. and H. H.
Mrs. Trullinger died in 1865, and in 1866 Mr. Trullinger was united in marriage with Maria Hampton, a relative of the Hon. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina. They have seven children - R. W., L. B., John B., Ellen, Beatrice, Irving and Arcadia. Henry C., a young man of great intelligence and promise, died May 28, 1886, leaving a wife and five children to mourn his untimely loss.
Mr. Trullinger is a Republican of pronounced type, dyed in the wool and warranted fast colors. He has served nearly twenty years as justice of the peace, and dispenses justice to all who are called before his court in an impartial manner, worth of a judge of the higher courts.
He has been a member of the Odd Fellows order since he was twenty-one years of age. Mr. Trullinger is quite extensively engaged in bee culture, making a specialty of Italian Queen and a cross of the same. He has a thrifty young orchard of 100 trees and several varieties of small fruits. Postoffice, Delphos."
THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD in RINGGOLD COUNTY
The first station on the underground railroad in Ringgold county ws the Milton TRULLINGER farm along Fiddler's Creek. The second station was believed to be the home of G. K. GRIMES, located near the town of Eugene in section 7 of Liberty township. Eugene, now a ghost town, was located approximately eleven miles north of Mount Ayr.
Little ALLEN, a native of Buncombe County, North Carolina, had arrived in Middle Fork Township during the Spring of 1852, bringing with him his two slaves, a boy of about the age of 16 and a girl about 14. Public disapproval forced him to sell the slaves around the year 1853 to a man from St. Joseph, Missouri, for $1,000. Squire Milton S. TRULLINGER, who lived approximately five miles from the ALLEN farm, was probably one who raised a protest over the ALLEN slaves. TRULLINGER actively assisted fugitive slaves as they fled towards freedom in Canada. TRULLINGER's farm was one of the underground railroad stations and noted for the flock of pea fowl. Renown for their shrill calls when their territory has been "invaded," perhaps the pea fowl acted as an alarm when fugitves and/or authorities arrived on the TRULLINGER farm.
