In my quest to search and separate the Ferguson males of Wilkes co, NC in the time frame of 1750/1840, I need a starting point. There are charts all over the web about these Ferguson families, three of whom married Tripletts. I would like any clue such as bondsman, land records, wills, or anything about these Ferguson family members. John Ferguson supposedly married Francis Triplett, son John Jr married Pricilla Triplett. A sister married Thomas Triplett. These three supposedly children of William Triplett. I need to know the area of Wilkes that they lived in also, if known. I would appreciate any small bit of info, Thanks Margaret Mabrey margiesan@charter.net

Margaret, I also have the Heritage of Wilkes Vol. I. I do not own Vol. II. However, Vol. I has numerous articles about the Ferguson and Triplett Families. Unfortunately, the book is out of print now. According to the book, William Triplett Who married Eleanor/ Elonar Harbin had 11 children, 6 of whom were born in Loudon county, VA. It talkes briefly about his parents, Francis and Elizabeth Triplett. After Elizabeth Triplett's death, William moved to Orange county, NC where he purchases 100 acres of land. Not sure where it was located. Next in Wilkes where he bought land on Dec. 25, 1778. He had 150 acres on the big branch of Beaver Creek. I don't live there, so don't ask me where that is! ;-). I just have a lot of Wilkes ancestors. There are 3 pages, (6 articles about Tripletts) and 2 2/3 pages with 5 articles about the Fergusons. Although some of both surnames are written about people who were born in the late 1800's to 1900's. Have you checked Jeff Weaver's New River Notes for info on your people in Wilkes? I haven't checked but he has collected a huge amount of information about people in Southwestern NC and VA. Happy Hunting!
