    Clement Trigg Jr. and his wife Mary Ann were living on 75 acres of the land known as "Gloven Hall" that he and his brother Jeremiah Trigg had purchased in 1763. They sold it to William Perkins for seventy-eight pounds one shilling currency in Prince Georges County, Maryland in 1778. Also in this deed, his wife Mary Ann relinquished her right of dower.

    Clement Trigg Jr. and his wife Mary Ann were listed in the 1776 Church Census for St. John's and Prince George's Parishes, Prince George's County, Maryland. There were three sons, namely, William, Joshua and Simeon, and four daughters, namely, Margaret Rhoda, Drusilla and Jemima in the household. One daughter, Elizabeth, was already married to Timothy Ragan at that time.

    In 1778 he his wife Mary Ann were listed in the State Census of Prince George's County, Maryland with three sons and four daughters at home.

    In late 1778, Clement Jr., Mary Ann, and their family moved to Caswell County, North Carolina from Prince Georges County, Maryland. They lived in the upper northwest corner of Caswell District in Caswell County.

    Clement Trigg Jr. made an entry for 1640 acres of land "on the waters of Fish Pond" in Caswell County, North Carolina on Monday, 1 February 1779. The State of North Carlina issued a warrant for the survey on the same tract of land to Mary Trigg, "behalf of Clement Trigg, dec'd" on Thursday, 21 October 1779. For an unknown reason, the State of North Carolina crossed out "Mary Trigg, behalf of" and inserted the name of "Clement Trigg" on Monday, 13 October 1783. The chain carriers for this warrant of survey were Richard Gibson and Timothy
    Ragan.

    Notes:

    Family tradition handed down for generations tells the story of Mary Ann Foreacres' near escape with a panther when she was a 12 year old girl. The story reads as follows:

    "When Mary Foreacres was about twelve years old, the lady with whom she lived sent her to the nearest neighbor's, a distance of about three miles. The road led through heavy timber and across a creek. As Mary was returning home, she heard the cry of a panther in the direction from which she was coming and seemingly on the road she had just passed over. Recognizing the sharp, shrill scream to be that of the beast she so much feared, she ran as fast as she could. The oft repeated cry, louder, showed that the panther was gaining on her. Seeing that it would be impossible for her to reach home before being overtaken by the animal, when she came to the creek she waded into the water and down the stream some distance to a tree which was near or in the edge of the water. She climbed the tree and sat in the thickest part of the boughs.

    Soon she saw the panther come down the road to the creek and cross over. Failing to find her trail on the other side of the creek, he searched in all directions, at the time uttering those fearful, piercing cries. Mary was so situated that she could see his every move. The wind was blowing down the stream and he failed to get the scent. Finally he gave up the search and wandered slowly up the valley, and when his cries were heard of safe distance, Mary climbed down the tree and went home."

    Mary Ann Foreacres Trigg-Hatsfield was listed as head of the household in the 1786 State Census of Caswell County, North Carolina. There were three sons and one daughter still at home. What had happened to Thomas Hatsfield is not known.

    January 1796 in Caswell District of Caswell County, North Carolina, William Trigg acted as the administrator of his mother's estate.

    The location of Mary Ann Foreacres' birth and marriage is not confirmed.

    Notes:

    The name Trygge/Trigg is of Norwegian origin and represents a Scandinavian strain in southwestern England. This name is not very common there today.

    The family name Trygge appeared in early Norse sagas and was most common in the northern regions where it was held in the tenth century by Olaf Tryggvanson, son of Trygge, King of Norway. Trygge converted his people to Christianity. He was the best King Norway ever had up to that time.

    The original spelling for the English branch of the family was Trygge. It was later changed to Trigg.

    On Saturday, 25 March 1741, Clement Trigg bought 150 acres of land known as "Gloven Hall" from Joseph Chaplin in Prince George's County, Maryland. Apparently he was heavily in debt to the merchants of Liverpool, England. A document shows that "sum of fifty three pounds currency" owed to the said Christopher Lounders, John Hardman & William Whaley. He "privately did remove and abscond from the place of abode." This land was taken, appraised and condemned by the County Court of Prince George's County to satisfy the debts of the Liverpool merchants.

    Two of his sons, Jeremiah and Clement Trigg Jr., bought back the same tract of land in Prince George's County, Maryland from the Liverpool merchants for forty pounds currency on Friday, 1 July 1763. This tract was divided between Clement Trigg Jr. and his brother Samuel Trigg probably as their inheritance from their parents.

    Clement Trigg's place of birth, death and burial has not been confirmed.

    John Foreacres' place of birth is not confirmed but he lived in Delaware until his marriage.

    In May/June 1740, he bought 100 acres of land known as "Tolis Lott" from Darby Ryon in Queen Anne's County, Maryland. From this deed, he was a planter by occupation.

    A record shows that John Foreacres was serving as a private in the colonial militia which was commanded by Captin James Brown of Queen Anne's County, Maryland on Thursday, 22 February 1748/1749.

    John Foreacres wrote his last Will and Testament on 13 Friday 1756 disposing of his personal and real estate to his wife and children. This last Will and
    Testament was proven in open court for Queen Anne's County, Maryland on Thursday, 24 March 1757 by two of the subscribing witnesses, namely, James Lane and John Burk.
