My main area of research is the Marfell family. I believe that Timothy Trigg is descended from the Marfells.
I have his father as John Trigg b. 1818 & Ann Matthews b. 1817.
John Trigg being son of George Benjamin Trigg b. 1789 & Lucy Marfell b. 1795.
Lucy was the daughter of John Marfell 1769/18.9.1840 & his first wife Elizabeth Roberts 1769/6.3.1802.

The following census entry had me foxed initially as I didn't have the second name Benjamin, all the other people match with my findings :

1851 Census East Dean
TRIGG Benjamin Widow/er 63 Lime Burner Dean Forest
MEREDITH Elizabeth 31 Wife of Coal Miner below Dean Forest
TRIGG Absolom 23 Coal Miner Dean Forest
Thomas 13 Scholar Dean Forest
MEREDITH Thomas Son in Law 30 Coal Miner Married Little Dean
Mary 9 Scholar Little Dean
Martha 6 East Dean
Samuel 4 Little Dean
Lucy 1 East Dean
EDWARDS Timothy Lodger 27 Hallier coal Forest of Dean

1861 Census East Dean
Benjamin Trigg 72 East Dean
Absalom 34 son Coal Miner East Dean
Sarah wife 30 Hereford
Benjamin son 4 East Dean
Elizabeth dtr 1 & 1/2 East Dean

I have the will of Lucy Marfell's father John and a bequeath is made to Benjamin Trigg with Lucy having died before 1841.

I have the marriage certificate between John Trigg & Ann Matthews which shows his father as George, I also have the birth certificates for two of their children Lucy & Mary Ann.

I cannot follow the Penn connection, could someone explain.

I can Email a copy of the above mentioned will.
