Hi Barbara, I wondered about that Ferguson connection, too. I have Jack Ferguson's books on Early Days in Clinton County (was formerly Green then Cumberland, then Clinton Co. KY) I think I saw somewhere in one of his books that those Fergusons came from South Carolina? I can locate only two of the books right now but I don't recall seeing any Tripletts in the Clinton Co. books. However, in the Wilkes Heritage book, it does refer to the fact that William Triplett, 4th child of Micajah, and William's wife Nancy Ferguson sold their land in Wilkes in 1803 and moved to Adair Co. Ky.( Where I was born!) which is why I noticed it so much when I was scanning the article, I suppose. Not my family, so I don't have any specifics.

Mary Ann, William Triplett was the 4th child of Micajah? Somewhere I have seen where his parents were Francis and Elizabeth. Am I reading this wrong? We may have two different William Triplett's. The pension records for the Rev War, (which we disapproved) state that he was b 1763 in Loudon co, Va. He paid Jeremiah Ferguson to take his place in one of his enlistments, because of his widowed mother. He went in 1803 to Russell co, Ky to live out his life and that was where he applied for the pension. Maybe he had a son named William?

You are right, there were different Williams and the William who went to Adair Ky was the 4th child of William and Eleanor/Elonar Triplett. instead of Micajah's child. Micajah was the eldest child of William and Eleanor.. Sorry about the typo.
