I would love a copy of those records.I have been trying to find the Bible of Gaspar Trotti for several years now, but have had no luck.The book, "TROTTI, The Ancestors and Descendants of Gaspar Trotti", by Virginia Trotti Dormon Miller, written about 1944, supposedly uses the Bible records to give the Trotti family history and Gaspar's life history.I have been sourcing the book from other records for the last 3 1/2 years and have found 90+% of it to be accurate.I have transcribed the book, added an index for the original book, added Endnote numbers and an Endnote section to reference my research, and completed an Addendum with the descendants of my Grandfather Clarence Eugene Edgerton a GGGrandson of Gaspar Joseph Trotti.I am working on the addendums for the other lines.
There is also a book called "Builders of
Freedom and Their Descendants" by Isabel Patterson, published about 1955.This book takes several related lines, Patterson, Trotti, Brown, Ransey, Aldrich, etc... and follows the SC branches of those families a little more thoroughly than "Trotti".I have used those two books as the starting place for my research, but neither of those books gives sources for their information.I have been digging up census records, Bible records, Land Records, Court Records, and anything else I can find to verify Cousin Virginia's and Cousin Isabel's work.
I would also be interested in any information you have on the descendants of
Maria Theresa Trotti and John Ransey.I have included my Descendants of Maria Theresa Trotti for 3 generations.I will email with more data.
