GEORGE TRIBBLE, (of #2) ca. 1700 King and Queen Co. Va., eldest son
of Peter Tribble. While Peter Tribble named his eldest son George, we

JOHN TRIBBLE, (of #2) ca. 1704 Essex or King and Queen Co. Va. He
was of age when his father executed his will 6 Apr. 1738, one of the
Executors. His eldest bro. George was named in his father's will how-
ever he was not named an Ex. indicating that he had settled elsewhere.
He died in Essex Co. Va. intestate, 1749. On 20 June 1749 bond for adm.
of the estate of John Tribble, dec'd, John Dean and wife Esther, with
Thomas Dean security. On 15 Aug. 1749 John Dean, guardian of minor
orphans, Peter and John Hill Tribble. Paid John Pyles for schooling of
children, alloted to John Hill Tribble and to Peter Tribble, recorded
19 Sep. 1749. Since the children were called orphans and the estate was
divided into three pts. it is obvious the mother was deceased and that
Esther, wife of John Dean, was a dtr. ref. Essex Co. Va. will bk. 6 p.

son William 170 a. and his dtr. Mary certain property. The Executor

GEORGE TRIBBLE, (of #3) b. 1757 Caroline Co. Va. We assume he is
of this family since he stated he was born in Caroline Co., however no
documentary proof. He was living in Spots. Co. Va. 3 Sep. 1832 when he
applied for a pension for service in Revolution. He enlisted and served
seven tours in the Va. Militia, 1st under Capt. Vivion Minor of Caroline
Co. He was married twice, md. Nancy, a widow Bell, probably a large fam-
ily, ref. Spots Co. by Wm. A. Crozier p. 529, Pension application, The

when his father died, 1749. His guardian John Dean employed John Pyles
as instructor for himself and bro. Peter. In the settlement John inher-
ited a negro girl Phyllis, recorded 19 Sep. 1749. On 16 Sep. 1793 John
Tribble, with John Mann and William Hawerton his securities, gave bond
as adm. of the estate of Peter Tribble, deceased. This Peter Tribble
could have been a bro. or his son. On 21 Sep. 8 1812 John Tribble, with
Philip Mann and Richard Covington his securities, gave bond as adm. of
the estate of Elizabeth Tribble deceased. and the same date John Tribble
of Essex Co. and Philip Mann securities for Richard Covington adm. of

boy Simon. He may be the Peter Tribble who settled in Halifax Co. Va.
