Francis Triplett, Jr. born 1672, married Mary Browne January, 1702. She was the daughter of Captain Originall Brown and his wife Jane Brooks Higdon. They were both dead and Mary chose as her guardian, Caleb Butler, 29 October, 1701 as she was not quite 18. They had at least 2 children, one of whom we are not sure of, the other was Francis the 3rd born 1704. His father, Francis Jr., died sometime in the late summer of 1704 and on the 4th of October 1704, Mary was granted letters of administration to administer the estate of her late husband, Francis Triplett in Richmond County, Va.

Mary was a very attractive young widow, and soon attracted the attention of Hugh French, Jr. His father had died and left him a good legacy. He was born 1684. Hugh and Mary were married around 1706. Hugh was a strict but fair step-father to Mary's young son Francis. At age 16, Francis begged his step-father to let him go to sea, as his cousin, Francis, son of Thomas had done.
