.... Nearly all references to the boy have him listed with no christian name, but I have found a family tree on ancestry that lists his name as William. I am usually skeptical of online family trees though the one I found seems very accurate * in all other aspects of the family information.
The Tree you listed seems to have been by a researcher of the MICHIE family :
A daughter of Absalom TRIGG's
third wife, Esther, (a widow previously named Mrs JORDAN), married a MICHIE ... so no direct link to Absalom TRIGG.
It then has to be guessed that in adding information to the tree for Esther TRIGG, the reseacher, has in some way concluded that the names "Edward and WILLIAM
S" referred to the TRIGG
twins ?
I think there is enough "evidence" in those two versions of the passenger lists, (and the other Birth and Death information found in UK records ), to say that the TRIGG twins were never given forenames.[ * I also found another rather glaring error in that particular tree - but that's of no consequence in the case of the TRIGG family. ] ~ Lu
