In recent months I made contact with Eddie Trapp's daughter Sheila Trapp Barnett, who has been helpful in providing further information about Trapp genealogy. Sheila and I share the same great-great-great-grandfather, as shown below:
Recently she sent me the pictures below, which are both helpful and somewhat puzzling. Always more questions than answers in genealogy especially the further you go back.

Sheila said "Daddy sent me this info...kinda different."
This is my attempt at transcribing the cursive:
Going through old stuff. Some from Ace Trapp from Monroe, La. Done a lot of work on Trapps. He says 1850 census shows William Trapp not our line. Another William further back, into the 1700's we descended from. Said a William Trapp about the right age in Carroll County, Georgia in 1840.
WST had two wives. Second was Sally Hagood. Ruby Larkin from Enloe was cleaning out an old trunk and found thick piece of cardboard with funeral information for Sallie Trapp. Died April 3, 1911. Ruby was a Hagood. A deed 1832 shows Jerimiah Trapp--they think was WST brother.
Our ancestors lived in Trappe France until 1066. Then to England. Martha's Vineyard in 1602. Before the pilgrims. Connecticut in 1750. Fairfield, S.C in 1763. To Georgia by 1822. A.C. says our lines same as his until about 1730.
