DAUGHTER of Francis Triplett and Benedicta Hedgeman (Sennett) Triplett.
FRANCES EMELIA TRIPLETT gave birth to the son of John George Jackson of Harrison County, Virginia. John George Jackson was a son of Congressman George Jackson of the Third Virginia District.
Frances was 18 or 19 when she became pregnant while being courted by John G. Jackson, believing he would marry her. After she became pregnant, Jackson had an opportunity to marry Mary Payne, sister of Dolley (Payne) Madison -- wife of James, which he did. Frances sued Jackson for breach of promise in the District Court at Morgantown and in the Virginia Court of Appeals in Richmond and won. She was awarded and collected compensatory damages of $400.
Their son, John Jay Jackson, b. February 13, 1800, in Virginia, didn't live with his father during his formative years when he was known as Jack Triplett. Mary died in 1808 in Clarksburg as did her mother. John married a second time to Mary Meigs, daughter of Return Jonathan Meigs. She encouraged John to establish a bond with his son. Sometime between 1810 and 1815, Jackson claimed his paternity by giving his son John Jay a solid education along with other privileges of the day. John Jay Jackson was a cadet of the Unite States Military Academy at West Point from May 17, 1815 to July 24, 1818 when he graduated and served in the U.S. Army. After serving he later became a successful lawyer in Parkersburg, Virginia.
Evidence suggests Frances Emelia Triplett married William Miller in Mason Co., Kentucky in 1818. Edward Hord was the bondsman. He was a brother of Elias who married her sister Ann Triplett.
By 1818 most of Frances's siblings were living in or near Mason County, Kentucky.
Frances and William could be the parents of William H. Miller, b. ~1822-1823. The H. might be for Hedgeman or Highfield.
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
Two of Frances's siblings, Ann (Triplett) Hord and William Triplett, lived in and near Lewisburg, Mason Co., KY the majority of their adult lives. Her sister Benedicta lived in Bourbon Co., KY, south of Mason County. Her brother Robert lived nearby.

WILLIAM H. MILLER'S PARENTS ARE UNVERIFIED. MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED.
FRANCES EMELIA TRIPLETT gave birth to the son of John George Jackson of Harrison County, Virginia. John George Jackson was a son of Congressman George Jackson of the Third Virginia District.
Frances was 18 or 19 when she became pregnant while being courted by John G. Jackson, believing he would marry her. After she became pregnant, Jackson had an opportunity to marry Mary Payne, sister of Dolley (Payne) Madison -- wife of James, which he did. Frances sued Jackson for breach of promise in the District Court at Morgantown and in the Virginia Court of Appeals in Richmond and won. She was awarded and collected compensatory damages of $400.
Their son, John Jay Jackson, b. February 13, 1800, in Virginia, didn't live with his father during his formative years when he was known as Jack Triplett. Mary died in 1808 in Clarksburg as did her mother. John married a second time to Mary Meigs, daughter of Return Jonathan Meigs. She encouraged John to establish a bond with his son. Sometime between 1810 and 1815, Jackson claimed his paternity by giving his son John Jay a solid education along with other privileges of the day. John Jay Jackson was a cadet of the Unite States Military Academy at West Point from May 17, 1815 to July 24, 1818 when he graduated and served in the U.S. Army. After serving he later became a successful lawyer in Parkersburg, Virginia.
Evidence suggests Frances Emelia Triplett married William Miller in Mason Co., Kentucky in 1818. Edward Hord was the bondsman. He was a brother of Elias who married her sister Ann Triplett.
By 1818 most of Frances's siblings were living in or near Mason County, Kentucky.
Frances and William could be the parents of William H. Miller, b. ~1822-1823. The H. might be for Hedgeman or Highfield.
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
Two of Frances's siblings, Ann (Triplett) Hord and William Triplett, lived in and near Lewisburg, Mason Co., KY the majority of their adult lives. Her sister Benedicta lived in Bourbon Co., KY, south of Mason County. Her brother Robert lived nearby.

Elizabeth is presumed her mother. Thomas Triplett and Thomas Hord were witnesses. Thomas Hord and Francis Triplett were bondsmen.

Captain Francis Triplett was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, about 1728.
