We
hope that through her efforts she might be able to unlock the mysteries
that some of you have been troubled with and through your efforts
and determination YOU might be able to uncover the ancestors of
her William Tripp.
She searched
for years to find her Tripp ancestors that might connect to John
and his wife Mary (Paine) but was never
able
to find them beyond William Tripp of Saybrook, Connecticut. He was
born by 1746 and his first child was born in 1768. He died in the
Essex quarter of Saybrook 30 August 1819. He died intestate, but
the distribution of his estate is recorded naming his children. He
is said to have married (1) Ruth Stannard about 1767 and he married
(2) Margaret Starkey, died June 1813. He had one daughter by his
first wife and ten children by his second wife. She extensively documented
her findings - which is one of the greatest asset
of her work. Margaret was published in The Genealogist in
the Spring of 1983 providing a wealth of information entitled "Descendants
of John Tripp of Portsmouth, R.I."
