I think a lot of it was interpretation by some who could not read other's handwriting or understand when they pronounced it if they could not write.It is interesting though how names are spelled and said throughout history.
Are you related to Ezekiel and the line that comes across from Quaker areas in East TN to KY to IN, IL, MO?My ggrandmother was Julia Elton Trogdon who married David Allen Gray in Ohio Co., KY but they migrated with other Trogdons and other family members to MO. Julia and David then had five sons in Phelps Co., MO.GUncle William Byrd Trogdon lived in St. Louis and I attended his funeral while in grade school with my parents and father's sisters.
Keep in touch and good luck.Betty
