A Trapp Connection

My research is about the Trapp family and the connecting families that came from South Carolina through Georgia to Franklin County, Alabama.
My fourth great grandfather was James Thomas Trapp, born in 1806 in South Carolina. He married first to Susanna about 1824 in South Carolina. They then moved to Paulding County, Georgia in the early 1830s. James and Susanna had three known children: Mary, James Thomas, and Jane.
The Friendship Primitive Baptist Church in Paulding County, Georgia was built on land received by James Trapp. It was built in the early 1850s and families that are connected to the Trapp family had also attended this church. Some families were the Bass and Fuller families.
In 1853, Susanna passed away. Within that same year James remarried to Julia Amanda Weeks. Together they had three children: Henry, William M., and Caty.
James passed away in 1880. His descandants moved on from Paulding County, Georgia and settled in Franklin County, Alabama.

I'm hoping one day to find out who James' parents were and if there is any connection of the sourthern Trapps to the northern Trapps before the 1800s. I would love to hear from and share with anyone who is connected to the sourhtern Trapps.
