WICKSBURG — It’s rare to find a set of triplets in a small community. Even rarer is a small community with five sets of triplets.
But in this unincorporated hamlet in Houston County, there are five different families with triplets, ages 4 to 16. So many being in one community came as a surprise to even the parents.Lisa and Trevor Wallace’s 12-year-old daughters Corrine, Cara and Chloe are seventh-graders at Wicksburg High School, where 16-year-old triplets William, McKenna and Madelyn Carey also go to school.
At one point, three sets of triplets all lived within two miles of each other on the same road in Wicksburg. And when Lisa Wallace was young, her babysitter was the mother of the Carey triplets.It is an odd coincidence to say the least. Even more unusual is that Lisa Wallace – a nurse anesthetist – was in the delivery room when Lynsey West gave birth to Parker, Paige and Preston.
It’s not something in the water in Wicksburg. While the families all have some connection to the Wiregrass, a few of the families lived outside of the area when they gave birth. The families are a mix of spontaneous natural conception and conception achieved with help from fertility specialists. They all chose Wicksburg to call home for different reasons. For some of the parents, they grew up in the community.
Jarmon said the families with older children can certainly help prepare and advise those with younger sets of triplets. Wallace agreed.
