Chapter XVI. pp 142-147.l Early records show that 18 August 1759 a grant of 160 acres of land on the west side of Haw River was issued to him. Shortly before the Revolutionary War he bought a large tract of land in Montgomery County, Virginia (near the town of Dublin which is now a part of Pulaski County), and moved there. On the property was a salt petre cave, from which he and his sons mined salt petre and made it into gun powder for the American Army. During the latter part of the war he moved back to North Carolina.

Dates on Memorial of Jacob, Henry & Adam Trolinger. Also, in Stockard, SW - The History of Alamance County p 143, 1900, Capitol Printing Co., Raleigh.

Notes: Pennsylvania German Pioneers" stated they were Palatine Immigrants departing Rotterdam, next sailing to Dover, England, arrived at Philadelphia 20 Sep 1738 on ship "Friendship" commanded by Captain Beech.
Adam and Eberhard (probably Adam's cousin) left their home and made their home and made their way up the Rhine River to Rotterdam and sailed by the way of the English Channel to Port of Dover, England to Philadelphia, PA, aboard the ship "Friendship."
It is believed that Eberhard remained in Pennsylvania, at least he did not go to North Carolina with Adam.
They arrived in Sep 1738 and took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown on 20 Sep 1738.
Adam went with other Germans to Orange (now Alamance) County, NC where he settled in 1745 on the western bank of Haw River.

It is believed he may have lived in Pennsylvania, maybe Burks county for a while before moving to North Carolina. It was reported the move took place because land was getting so expensive in Pennsylvania. In Orange County he was instrumental in establishing a Union Lutheran and Reformed Church on the "pike leading from Salisbury to Hillsborough at Haw River."

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.

Notes:

One of the first settlers in Alamance county, NC, in the year 1745, was Adam Trolinger,

During the Revolutionary war Cornwallis passed here on his way to the Guilford Battle Ground and camped over night, and by taking and destroying the grain in Jacob Henry's mill, made the old gentleman very angry, and he told Cornwallis what he thought of him, whereupon Cornwallis had him tied to a tree, with a bridle bit in his mouth, so that he could neither speak nor extricate himself. They left him in this condition. He was found late in the evening and untied by a Mrs. Rippy, who chanced to come to the mill.

Notes:
The family name was originally spelled Drollinger, and the ancestor of the Virginia branches, Adam Drollinger used that spelling.
Adam's son, Henry Jacob, changed the spelling of the family name to Trollinger, but its pronunciation remained "Drolinger" during his life-time.

The family was originally from the foot of the Swiss Alps near the Rhine River in South Germany. Their descendants came to America during the 18th century in the great immigration of the Palantinate Germans.

Since the coat of land in Pennsylvania was high, Adam Drollinger and other Germans left Pennsylvania and went to North Carolina. There Adam Drollinger located on the pike leading from Salisbury to Hillsborough at the Haw River (then in Orange County, now in Alamance county, formed from part of Orange County).

Adam Drollinger and his son Henry Jacob were at first prominent in the Moravian Church, but later were at first prominent in the Moravian Church, but later were instrumental in building a Union Lutheran and Reformed church.
Adam Drollinger was buried in Haw River, North Carolina.
