TRIPLETT Family
First Generation
1. Francis1 Triplett Sr. was born in England c 1635. Francis died Will proved March 4, 1701 in Richmond Co., VA.

He married Abigail Nichols in Richmond Co., VA, c 1664. The parents of Francis Triplett Sr are not known for sure to me. Different researchers of the Triplett line have come to different conclusions. I show the three sets of parent's names that are being used for your interest only.

Thomas Triplett and Elizabeth Martin of Oxford, England. Thomas Triplett and Elizabeth George of England. John Triplett and Joan Yeo of County Cornwall, England.

Francis Triplett Sr. had at least one sister named Mary Triplett. She married Peter Jett, a good friend of her brother Francis. Mary and Peter had 4 children born in England and another child born after their arrival in America. The Triplett and Jett families remained closely associated with several marriages back and forth between them.

Perhaps this issue of parents will one day be resolved with verifiable information.

Francis had married a young lady named Alais while still living in England. The only record of her is on a patent of Peter Jett, whom Francis' sister Mary Triplett had married in England. Alais died soon after their arrival to America and Francis married the widow of Samuel Nichols sometime shortly before 1664. Abigail had a small son, John Nichols, whom Francis raised as his own child.

Francis was good friends with Peter Jett, as well as brother-in-law, and they probably made the sea voyage to America at the same time. If not, it was within a very short time because they were both in Old Rappahannock Co., VA before 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, and for this he was given a patent of 1,050 acres of land, on the south side of the Rappahannock River, which was signed by Governor Berkley in December of 1666.

Francis and his wife 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 dated April 30, 1669, selling a tract of land for 3500 pounds of tobacco.

They were the parents of 5 children. Francis dated his Will November 24, 1700, and it was proved March 4, 1701. The date of Abigail's death is not known to me.
