Most of the GA TROTMANs are from Bertie-Gates-Chowan Co, NC area. There was a Benjamin TROTMAN in that area. Am not familiar with Isabella or Joshua. My Thomas TROTMAN came from Bertie Co, NC, & went to Washington Co, GA 1790-1800. Thomas TROTMAN married Winnifred CULLEN in Bertie 1788. There were four known children: Cullen, Blount, Thomas, & Mary (married a MCDONALD & had son Frederick Cullen MCDONALD). Blount & Thomas moved to Stewart Co, GA by 1840. Mary moved to AL. Cullen died in Washington Co, leaving widow & two young children. There were supposed to have been other children of Thomas & Winnifred but have not been able to find them. There was a TROUTMAN family from Iredell Co, NC that also settled in GA. This family is of German origin--the TROTMANs are of English origin.
