| Adam & Eberhard, cousins, were the first Trollinger/ Drollinger emigrants to America. My research is mainly focused on the descendants of Adam. Adam Drollinger was born in one of the Rhine provinces of Germany in the year 1681. It is most likely that he came either from Baden or the Palantinate. Old family traditions indicate that it was from the latter. He emigrated to America, presumably with his entire family, landing at Philadelphia on 20 September 1738. The tombstone of Adam Trolinger in the old family burying ground at Haw River, North Carolina, states that his eldest son, Jacob Henry, came with him to Pennsylvania in 1737 (1738 is more probably correct) and thence to North Carolina in 1745 they and other German emigrant families went overland by wagons through Maryland and Virginia to the vicinity of Haw River, North Carolina. Here Adam Trolinger and his family settled and resided until his death in 1776. Special thanks to Euna Mae Davis Trolinger, Gordon Drollinger, Ann H. Bianchi, Francis E.
