THE TRIGG FAMILY.
The Trigg family of Virginia are descendants of Abraham Trigg (who was the progenitor of the family in America ), who emigrated from Corn- wall, England, very early in the 18th century-abont 1710. Of his five sons Abram, the eldest, was colonel of a regiment in the Revolutionary army, and representative in Congress, 1797-1809. The second son, Stephen, went to Kentucky as a member of the court of land commis- sioners, in 1779. He, also, was colonel of a regiment, Revolutionary war, and was killed in the battle of Blue Licks, while bravely leading his men to a charge. His name is on the Frankfort monument, and Trigg county, Kentucky, is named in his honor. John, third son of Abraham, was a major in the Revolutionary army, an officer of artillery, was present at the surrender of Cornwallis. and represented Virginia in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Congresses of the United States. William, fourth son, from whom the Virginia branch of the family descended, was also a man of prominence and ability, as was the fifth son, Daniel. Tradi- tion tells us that the old generation of Triggs were "Cultivated people of remarkably fine personal appearance, and endowed with social quali- ties far above the average."

William, sixth of these children, and fourth son, removed in early manhood from what is now known as Montgomery county, Virginia, to Abingdon, Washington county. His removal, and that of the other sons and daughters of Daniel Trigg and his first wife, Anne Smith, was brought about by the marriage of the eldest daughter, Mary, to Will- iam King, proprietor of the Kings Salt Works, this sister having filled a mother's place to the younger children when they were deprived of that parent.

tunately endorsed, to an unlimited extent, for a younger brother, who was a reckless speculator in Kentucky, and the endorsements culmi- nated in his financial ruin, his magnificent estate and all his earthly pos- sessions being sold at vendue, even down to his gold snuff-box, pre- sented to him by an English friend. This sudden and complete ruin wrecked the mind of his young wife, who died a maniac. Being vet in the prime of life, of iron constitution, possessed of his integrity and a man of ability, he rallied from this disaster, and accumulated a hand- some estate, and at his death left his children in comfortable circum- stances.
The wife of John M. Wingfield is a daughter of Peter C. Nelson, born in Hanover county, February 2, 1794, died in that county in 1852.

His wife was Elizabeth King, born in Norfolk county in 1778, died in Lynchburg in 1855. Captain Miles Cary, maternal grandfather of Mrs. Wingfield, was the eldest descendant of the Cary who came with two brothers to the colony of Virginia from England. He had at his death the "Court of Arms," of England, which is still in the possession of his descendants. It is said there are many millions of dollars in the vaults of the Bank of England belonging to the Cary family.
The earliest seated in Virginia of the Wingfield family was Edward M. Wingfield, first President of the Council of Virginia ( see pp. 8 and 14, of Volume I). Of many other illustrions names connected with this family, or of it, may be mentioned J. Richard Wingfield, cousin to JJohn W .. former senator to the Virginia legislature, now consul to Costa Rica. residence at San Jose. Judge Gustavus Wingfield, of the circuit court of Franklin county; Bishop Wingfield, of the Episcopal church, Virginia : and Henry Clay, the orator and statesman of Kentucky. Of the same family as the last-named was Henry Clay, of " The Slashes," Hanover county, who was first consin to Mr. Wingfield's father.
The so-called " Winfield " Scott. general U. S. A., was a Wingfield by maternal descent. From some foolish freak or foolish pride he peti- tioned the Legislature to permit him to drop the og" from the name his mother had given him, she being a Miss Wingfield, which request was granted, he thus becoming " Winfield " Scott.
