Clemant Trigg

Notes:

Clement Trigg Jr. was born in Queen Ann's Parish where he lived until his marriage.

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:

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.
