I have recently found the transcription of the Death Certificate of my 2nd GGM Henrietta Groves Walton. On the document her daughter names Henrietta's mother as Frankie Trotter. I have had her as Frances (?) born VA circa 1802 from the 1850 Dickson Co, TN census listed with her husband Isaac Groves and Henrietta as their child. This is the first documenttation that I have had of her as a Trotter. They lived in the area where Montgomery/Cheatham/Dickson meet. If anyone can help me connect her to the Trotters in the Montgomery area I would be most appreciative. Looking forward to seeing any of you at the Rock Springs Freewill Church Annual Homecoming on May 25th for the pot luck dinner.

Hi, I have one Frances Trotter, dtr. of Rev. James Trotter, one of early Va. Methodist preachers. However, I have nothing else about her DOB/DOD. I also have her as md. to John Harris October 1787 in Amelia Co., Virginia. Juanita Johnson, juanita@sierratel.com is a descendant of James and Tabitha Trotter and perhaps she might be able to help you further with this particular line. I also have Mary Jane Walton who was md. to Benjamin Rook, son of Martin E. Rook. According to their marriage date (December 19, 1837) I would estimate her DOB to be about 1807 or so. There was also Anne Phillips Groves who was married to Thomas Hatton Batson, Jr. Perhaps some of these names will give you a lead. The information I have about these Trotters is limited. I can help you with some of the Trotters if you find any other leads. Please feel free to contact me and I will see what I have.
