Life began for Benjamin Tribble, charter member of Cloud's Creek Baptist Church, about 1740 in Caroline County, Virginia. Benjamin was the middle son of Shadrack and Elizabeth Tribble. Benjamin was a gunsmith like his father. He supplied the military with guns as well as rifles for frontiersmen. Benjamin Tribble's career was interruped when he became a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

After moving to Georgia, Benjamin married January 24, 1781 to Pheraby Johnson, the daughter of Thomas and Penelope Johnson, who were also charter members of Cloud's Creek Baptist Church. After receiving a headright grant in April of 1794, Benjamin and Pheraby chose to live in Oglethorpe County with their family of twelve children and slaves who worked in the fields on their plantation.

Sometime in 1808, Benjamin's 18-year-old nephew from Wilkes Couty, North Carolina, who had been named in his honor, came for a visit. Young Benjamin took a fance to his first cousin Elizabeth and married her in October of 1808 in Oglethorpe County. He fought in the War of 1812 and soon afterward settled in Madison County near Elizabeth's brother, Joel. Young Benjamin moved the family to newly formed Walton County and is considered a founding father. Joel and Young Benjamin became interested in the 1832 land lottery. As winners, they both won land in Forsyth County near Cumming, Georgia. Benjamin and his family settled near Sawnee Mountain on a trail which would later be called Tribble Gap Road. There Elizabeth and Young Benjamin helped found Friendship Baptist Church. Many of the descendants are currently active members. Two of Young Benjamin's great-grandsons became Baptist ministers, and both were pastors at Friendship. One of those gentlemen was my granddaddy, Dr. Pledger Washington Tribble, Sr.

Young Benjamin's second oldest son left his family in Forsyth County to search for wealth in the California Gold Rush of the 1850s. James Washington Tribble never returned to Georgia, but his faithful wife Nancy raised their two sons and two daughters.

Benjamin married Phereby Johnson on 24 Jan 1781 in , Wilkes, North Carolina, USA. Phereby was born in 1768 in , Wilkes, North Carolina, USA; died in 1845 in , Madison, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
