she lived at Newbern with her daughter, Harriet (Jordan) Wysor, whose husband was killed

"never could speak of Grandma Betsy without emotion . . . . she could be and was 
'all things to all men'; skilled in so many hand crafts, a doctor, nurse and anything 
that was necessary in her community."  One of her Jordan great-grandsons wrote, 
"In Newbern they spoke of Aunt Betsy as a saint for wherever a woman was ill or in 
trouble, wherever children were sick, there she went with ministering hands and a 
smile of sunshine regardless of distance or class."  As a yound woman she had a unique 
religious experience alone in a grove of virgin forest near Newbern and thereafter 
won most of her family to the Christian life and became one of the founds of Methodism 
in the Newbern and Dublin area.  Children of Michael and Elizabeth (Trollinger);

ix.	ELIZABETH TROLINGER,      b. 1810;

Monument in Haw River Church, Heavener, op. cit., p. 74, Heavener calls him Jacob 
and his son (the Revolutionary pensioner) Jacob Henry.  Also he calls John Trollinger, Sr.'s 
father Adam II and mother Mary, who married Adam Wall.  All of this is erroneous.  
Mary Trollinger (widow of the pensioner) includes in her pension application pages 
from his family Bible which record "Henry Trolinger, son of Henry Jacob and 
Barbara Trolinger.  
He (the pensioner) says his father cam from N.C. in 1776 and made powder, etc., 
in this application.  Henry C. Trolinger son of John Trolinger, Jr., in Brock, Hardesty 
(Pulaski and Giles), p. 420, states, that he "is a great-grandson of Henry Trolinger 
from North Carolina."  this was written in 1884, less than twenty years after his 
grandmother's (Elizabeth Burris Trollinger) death, and when his father had been 
dead less than a year and several Trolinger aunts were still living.  
See Montgomery County DB D, pp. 454-460, for heirs of Henry Jacob settling estate.  
This shows John, Sr., and Henry the pensioner as brothers.  
Heavener received information from H. L. Trolinger, grandson of John, Jr., who obviously 
knew very little of the family, as reference to his biography in Bruce, Tyler, 
and others, History of Virginia, Vol. V., p. 535, shows.  there he says John Trollinger, Sr., 
was born in Ireland.  See Note 233, Chapter III*.  (Ed. Note: this note (*) is found at the 
end of the footnotes.)


The spelling on the monument (Note 1) apparently is Trolinger.  
At the time of the Revolution it was still pronounced "Drollinger," 
according to Henry Trollinger's pension statement, National Archives.
