Notes

Francis dated his will November 24, 1700. It was proved on March 4th, 1701, in Richmond County, VA. The will mentions his wife (Abigail), his children and grandchildren. It disposes of his 200 acre plantation, another tract of 1,050 acres and several small tracts.

Possibly 1st wife Alais ? Marriage: in England is mother of Children.

"Francis came from London, England about 1660. The headright system, in place at the time, provided that any person who could pay for passage of another person from England to Virginia could receive a patent of 50 acres of land for each one transported. Francis and his brother-in-law, Peter Jett, transported 28 persons, most of whom Francis paid for. On Janurary 21, 1666 a patent for 1050 acres of land on the south side of the Rappahannock River, in Rappahannock Co. was given to him and signed by Governor Berkley, in payment for transporting 21 persons.

Other notes on Triplett's: William Duke of Normandy, conquered England in 1066 A.D. He parcelled out land and divided the spoils among his followers, three of whom were brothers named Tripelette. They were builders and worked on the Tower of London, where they chiseled their names on some stones used in the construction of the Tower. They prospered, and later simplified the name to Triplett. Very little is known about this family until around 1500, when they began to show up in sizable numbers around London. [par502.FTW]"

"Francis came from London, England, about 1660. The headright system, in place at the time, provided that any person who could pay for the passage of another person from England to Virginia could receive a patent of 50 acres of land for each one transported. Francis and his brother-in-law, Peter Jett, transported 28 persons, most of whom Francis paid for. On October 10, 1664, he sold a parcel of land in Rappahannock County, Virginia. A patent for one thousand and fifty acres of land on the south side of the Rappahannock River in Rappahannock County was given to him on January 21, 1666, signed by Governor Berkley, in payment for transporting twenty-one persons from England to Virginia. On the 28th of September, 1668, Francis sold land in Rappahannock for six thousand pounds of tobacco, that being the medium of exchange at that time.

Francis and Abigail were faced with many hardships during this the early days of the Colony. They almost lost their land several times due to crop failure of the tobacco they were growing. They finally signed a deed on April 30th, 1669, selling a tract of land for thirty-five hundred pounds of tobacco. As Abigail had not been mentioned in the earlier land transactions, it would seem that they may have been married earlier that year.

Frances dated his will November 24, 1700. It was proved on March 4th, 1701, in Richmond County, Virginia. The will mentions his wife (Abigail), his children and grandchildren. It disposes of his 200 acre plantation, another tract of 1,050 acres and several smaller tracts.

Notes for ALAIS:

Alais died soon after Francis and Alais's arrival to the U.S. Name may have been "Alice."

Francis Triplett was born about 1635 in England. His parents have been said to be John Triplett and Joan Yeo. However, this is questioned because John and Joan wed in 1598. It is more likely that he is a grandchild. The Yeo family immigrated to Virginia mid seventeenth century and may have been one reason Francis went to Virginia. He was there by 1666.

The William and Mary Quarterly printed a multipart Genealogy of the Triplett Family in Volumes XXI, page 33, 115, XXII, page 175 and also an addendum on page 37 of a later unknown Vol. They were written by Rev. A. H. Hord. The article noted that Francis Triplett was issued a patent dated Jan 21, 1666 with the title "Mister". The term mister designated a higher degree of social consideration than that of a yeoman. The family continued to be prominent in the life of Colonial Virginia. The patent was for 1050 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock River. That patent is also noted in Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nugent.

From Northern Neck Land Grants there is recorded Francis Triplett of Richmond County receiving 90 acres in forest between the Rappahannock and Potomac near Coleman on November 2, 1692.

There is a Triplett Genealogy website http://people.mn.mediaone.net/jgoepfert/triplett_generations_1.ht m It contains all the information given the sources listed in this piece plus other interesting additions. It states that Francis married Alais about 1655 in England. He came from London to Virginia about 1660. The site explains that the headright system provided that anyone who paied for the passage of another from England to Virginia could receive a patent of 50 acres for each person transported. Francis and Peter Jett, his brother-in-law transported 28 people, most paid for by Francis. The 1050 acres received in 1666 was for 21 people. Alais died soon after arriving in Virginia.

The website contains data that would come from Deeds, so a search of old deeds should confirm all this information. Francis sold land in October 1664. Again in Sept 1668 Francis sold land for tobacco. Then Francis and Abigail signed a deed on April 30, 1669 selling a track of land. They must have wed between Sept and April of 1669.

About 1665 Francis married Abigail Huse. was noted in Marriages of Some Virginia Residents 1607 – 1800 by Dorothy Ford Willfech. It went on to say he was "son of Francis Triplett, the immigrant. Futher proof of the marriage came in Captain Symon Miller’s will proved 1684 in Old Rappahannock that mentioned his daughter Isabella who married William Triplett.

The children of Franics and Abigail mentioned in the William and Mary Quarterly were:
1. Thomas Triplett born 1669/70 died 1698
2. William Triplett born 1669/70 wed Isabella Miller, died 1728
3. Francis Triplett born about 1672, died 1704
4. Elizabeth Triplett born between 1669-1674, died 1710/11
5. Abigail Triplett born 1675
6. John Triplett born about 1677 wed Hannah, died before Feb. 19, 1699/1700

The last 2 children were added, as were all the dates by the website.

Francis Triplett died in 1701. His well was dated Nov. 11, 1700 and proved March 1, 1701. A reference to that is found in King George Records of the clerk's office although the will has been lost. The website states that he died December 1728. All other references say "1738". The will disposes of the plantation of 200 acres on which he lived, another tract of 1050 acres and several smaller tracts. He mentions his wife Abigail and children Thomas, William, and Francis.

It is not known how long Abigail lived after Francis died. " (from hurst and murray familys of mo an ark by joesph lafayette murray on GenCircles.com.
