Hello, again. Thank-you so much for your help. My gggGrandfather Thomas Triplett, was the father of many children in Burke Co.NC from about 1789 to 1830 when he went to Monroe co. Tenn. My ggGrand father John and one of his brothers George were both born in Burke Co. as were most of their siblings. I just read on a Triplett site that George died in Watauga Co. in 1874. I haven't had any luck in finding where my gggGrandfather lived after Virginia until he shows up in 1800 Burke co. census, and by this time he had 6 of his total of 10 children. I do thank you for you quick reply, and just so that you know, I went to my local library about a year ago, and they sent for the book by John Preston Arthur, on loan, for me.. I enjoyed reading it, but the only Triplett I found there was a Thomas Triplett who married a Mary McGee, whose grandparents were some of the Councill family. That Thomas was too young to be my gggGrandfather. I do know that there are lots of Tripletts in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Thanks, again for your help. Take care, Dorothy
