Franklin TRIPP was born in Floyd, December 27, 1831, son of Isaac Tripp, (who married Mary Brooker in 1812), and he was one of eleven children, seven sons and four daughters; Henderson, Septimus, Savinah, Julia Ann, Isaac jr., William, Marquis De Lafayette, Helen, Franklin, Jeanette and Orris B. Isaac sr. was born in Dutchess county, December 17, 1792, a son of William Tripp, who served as a soldier in the Revolutionary war (and was consequently a pensioner till his death). William moved with his family to Floyd, Oneida county, when Isaac was quite a small boy. His other children were Stephen, William, Mary and Clara. Isaac settled in his permanently in Floyd, and being possessed of an energetic disposition, progressive ideas, and strong business capacity, naturally his influence was felt in the town and in his surroundings. He served as assessor for many years. Was cotemporary and intimately associated with General Floyd (after which the town was named, and who was then a resident of the town of Western). One of his sons, Isaac jr. settled in Utica as a lawyer; three settled in Cortland county, one in Cayuga, while Franklin and Orris remained on the old homestead with additions thereto. Franklin married Carrie, daughter of David and Mary Fulmer of the town of Steuben. They have two children who are at present pupils at the Holland Patent Academy. (Orris married Esther, daughter of Hugh and Sally Jones also of Steuben.) They are both farmers.
