Abstract: In this paper we consider curves on a cone that pass through the vertex and are also triple covers of the base of the cone, which is a general smooth curve of genus $gamma$ and degree $e$ in $mathbb{P}^{e-gamma}$. Using the free resolution of the ideal of such a curve found by Catalisano and Gimigliano, and a technique concerning deformations of curves introduced by Ciliberto, we show that the deformations of such curves remain on cones over a deformation of the base curve. This allows us to prove that for $gammageq3$ and $egeq4gamma+5$ there exists a non-reduced component $mathcalH$ of the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves of genus $3e+3gamma$ and degree $3e+1$ in $mathbb{P}^{e-gamma+1}$. We show that $dim{T}_{[X]}mathcalH=dimmathcalH+1=(e-gamma+1{)}^2+7e+5$ for a general point $[X]inmathcalH$.
