1353 Joh. Peter served in the Napoleonic Wars. It is recorded in an old Church document in the town of Crispenhofen which is now part of Weisbach. The document said that he was the only surviving warrior to return home. There was a 3 day celebration at his homecoming. A great aunt of Andreas Volpp told about the celebration. After returning from the war, he bought a Bed & Breakfast in Crispenhofen abt 1820. At 61 he fathered another child. His sister married and moved to Ingelfingen-Kocherstein.

A relative from Widdern had a letter with information that the Volp's originally came from Italy. This is confirmed today by Family Tree DNA. The name later evolved to Volpp in some lines.

Hi Paul Thank you for all of your great research. All that I know about Trafton's early years is that he was born in central Tenn. in 1903
(near the birth place of Alvin York, I've heard stories that he was related to Sgt York). His parents and he moved to the Picayune area where Trafton
first met Lena, his soon to be wife singing in the Church choir. They married and Trafton built a house in Yamacraw (I think the house still stands)
where the 4 children were born. Some years later Trafton and his family moved to Clinton, MS where he was employed at Mississippi College until retirement.
The house in Clinton still stands and is at 601 Capitol Street. Dad has told me many stories of Trafton's great skill in carpentry and hunting.
While living near the swamp at Yamacraw he caught alligator, deer etc. I've never heard of his dad and him building spiral stair cases, but with his
carpentry skills it's very possible. I know he built the house at Yamacraw by himself from the ground up. I hope this was a help. My cousin Val
Holston has done research in Trafton's background I'm sure he could be of great help. If you would like to talk to my dad, Wayne (Trafton's son)
give him a call. Thanks again! Adam

Trafton raised his family in Yamicraw, MS near crossroads by the Pine Grove Baptist Church. Trafton was a Carpenter. He became head of Maintains at Mississippi College, after moving to Clinton MS. Trafton had a brain tumor removed. His grandson, Benjamin Valiant " Val" Holston, tells the following story:
"Trafton killed a 21 foot alligator that ate the family dog. He took the Hyde to New Orleans to sell. He then bought alligator shoes and purses for his wife Lena and daughters Dot & Mary Belle. He later killed 19' Alligator and showed me (Val) their skull. They had 20 acres and a home next to the swamp near Picayune, MS. Mom (Mary Belle) would walk across the branch on a catwalk that Trafton had built. She would find Sundews and Venus flytraps on the other side. We lived there for a year. I remember finding the Venus flytraps. They had a lot of blueberry bushes growing there."
