652	Our William Triplett was probably related to the larger Triplett family found in the early 1700?s in Virginia. There was a William Triplett born in about 1730 that was a friend and neighbor of George Washington. This William Triplett was a brick mason and did a tremendous amount of work at Mount Vernon. A very long and informative letter from George Washington to this William Triplett exist and reveals the close relationship between the two neighbors. The Fairfax Resolves Chapter of the SAR marked the grave of this William Triplett years ago. There are several interesting legends concerning the Triplett family in Virginia from the early 1700s. One is of a Triplett girl that was object of a quarrel between two men that ended in a duel. One man was killed in the duel and the second spent the rest of his life in prison. A second legend is recorded concerning a medical stone owned by the Triplett family that could cure the bite of a mad dog. Another William Triplett was born on November 22, 1797 in Kentucky and died August 26, 1881 in Missouri. Many accounts have been written that confuse these three (and may be more) William Tripletts.
