In the 1850 Watauga Census there were three households of TRIPLETT . This link is on the Watauga NCGenWeb page. http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nc/wata1850.htm I would think that with three families some of them would still be around 25 years later. I know when I grew up in Watauga there were lots of Triplett families.
