Note: � From "Our Line of the Triplett Family" copyright David Walsh, 2006 � � Thomas Triplett, father of Abel (above), was born about 1725 in Fairfax County, Virginia, and married Elizabeth Grimes about 1747. Thomas was a son of Francis Triplett and Elizabeth Browne, and was a trooper in the French and Indian War, March, 1756. Thomas' father died about 1758 and he inherited 200 acres of land on Goose Creek on which he lived for a time. He then purchased 233 acres of land on North River in Hampshire County, Virginia. After a few years, he moved back to Loudoun County with his family. Thomas died about 1769 and did not leave a will. An inventory was taken of his property on March 12, 1769, and his son Enoch was granted administration of his property on March 13, 1769. Elizabeth lived for more than 50 years after her husband died. An inventory was taken of her property November 11, 1822. It includes the following: � Paid Peggy Bazzell and Mary Ann Triplett their own notes. Paid Joel Triplett, two notes. Paid Enoch Triplett, Jacob Silcott's note for $19.40. Paid Abel Triplett, Joel Triplett's note for $15.86. John Duncan, William Triplett's note for $22.71. Paid Dr. Thomas Triplett Jr., James Patterson's note for $21.62. Paid Greenbury Triplett, Glascock's note for $11.02. Equal dividends (amounting to $25.29) for each, but that Enoch, Abel and Frederick have already received some and that Peggy Bazzell and Mary Ann Triplett are each entitled to a cow and a bed amounting to $23, which they never received and which the others had over and above their share.Members of Thomas and Elizabeth's family included Elizabeth (Duncan), Enoch, Thomas, Abel (above), Greenberry, Peggy (Bazzell), Mary Ann, and Frederick. A number of children of Enoch, Thomas and Abel left Virginia and initially settled in Ohio, some remaining there. Sons Greenberry and Frederick are known to have settled in Kentucky. http://www.geocities.com/heartland/plains/8270/articles/Triplett.htm
