(Abstract of the Will of Ephraim Trotter, Guilford County, North Carolina Will Book B, page 79, file 0471.
Information about the children and Ephraim and Mary Trotter from D. H. Trotter, November 1996.
"There was also an Isaiah born in 1790 and I have not been able to verify his relationship, but believe he was their son." (D. H. Trotter, via the internet, November 1996.) (NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: If Isaiah Trotter was a son and born in 1790, and the 1800 census accounts for all the children and the dates given are correct, then Isaiah could not have been a son of Ephraim Trotter. Therefore, it appears that the Isaiah Trotter who married Sally Cranor was the son of Benjamin Trotter and Nancy Weatherley.)
