Additional Comments:
Elizabeth Cone Triplett was the daughter of Isaiah and Mary Stilley Cone of 
Craven Co., NC. She and her family lived in Madison Co., FL at the time of her 
husband's death on May 26, 1839. Her brother, Fountain Hayne Cone, indicated on 
Elizabeth's pension application of August 3, 1843, that Eli Triplett and Henry 
Brennan were killed and scalped by Indians. On a later pension application 
(March 31, 1853), Elizabeth stated that "she is still a widow and that she had 
by the said husband the following children, viz Elizabeth, Nancy, David & Eli."
