Hi Elaine, I suspect you are right about my finding some Trotters around there. If I can ever determine positively that I am desc. from the Trotters and not the Whiteheads I feel like I can go like a house afire! I believe there are almost as many Trotters in our history as there were Clays! Thanks for this tip. I will make note of it in my files.

There were Trotters there before 1800 (sorry, no details). Part of my Montgomery Co family was from Rowan Co, and one connection married a Trotter there. Elaine Oakes ______________________________
