FIRST GENERATION

1. Nicholas TRIPP was born about 1732 in SEE NOTES (2N). There is no proof Nicholas Connected to the Rhode Island Tripps at this point

but, It would be a good place for the two families to connect the Nicholas

in North Carolina, and Nicholas Gardner in the Rhode Island Tripp family.

Also he would of had a brother Caleb if he was in this

family. Maybe that is the Caleb that showed up in Pitt, County, North Carolina.

I researched each of 25 Nicholas names in the computer on May 25, 1992. Only

two were even close to being at the right time and place. Nicholas Daw was

about the same age as John Tripp, but there was no connection that we know of

until Robert Tripp married Grace Daw in abt 1784. That is 25 years after

Nicholas Tripp shows up buying land in Orange County, North Carolina.

The Nicholas Gardner connected with the Tripps, when his daughter Mary,

married Peleg Tripp on June 28, 1728.

Therefore any connection between Nicolas Tripp of North Carolina and the Rhode

Island Tripps will remain in doubt until someone comes along with the answer.

Dortha Tripp of Virginia has some feeling toward a possibility that Nicholas

came from Virginia. If that were the case the Nicholas Tripps and the John

Tripps would have been connected back in England sometime. We will keep looking

and Herman William Tripp--Remembering......

Nicholas TRIPP and Nancy KING had the following children:

+2 i. John TRIPP.

+3 ii. William TRIPP.

4 iii. Ann TRIPP.

+5 iv. Jemima TRIPP.

+6 v. Margaret TRIPP.

+7 vi. William TRIPP.

SECOND GENERATION

2. John TRIPP was born in 1747 in Orange County, North Carolina?. He died about 1804. He has reference number 64. History of John Tripp is sketchy at best. Records show that he served in

Chatham County Militia in 1772 in Captain Isaiah Hogan's Company. Mary his wife

was still alive in 1805.

According to Thomas and Betty Lawley John spent eight years in the

Revolutionary War and received a land grant of 640 acres in what was later

Tennessee for his time in service.

Herman William Tripp--Remembering...... and still searching to solve the many

mysteries surrounding this family.

He was married to Mary (_Cynthia_) ? about 1760. Mary (_Cynthia_) ? was born about 1748 in Orange County, North Carolina. She died in 1805. She has reference number 65. Mary, wife of John Tripp, resided in

Chatham Co. N.C. John TRIPP and Mary (_Cynthia_) ? had the following children:

8 i. Jonathan TRIPP was born in 1772 in Orange County, North Carolina. He died in 1865 in Lincoln County, Tennessee. He has reference number 32. Information obtained from John Tripp's will

dated 6 Jan 1805 Chatham C. N.C. Copy in

possession of Dortha Tripp

9 ii. Reuben TRIPP was born in 1774 in North Carolina. He died in 1862 in Pope Co., Arkansas. Reuben moved from N.C. to Kentucky

and later to Lawrence Co. Tenn.

10 iii. Elizabeth TRIPP was born before 1774 in North Carolina.

11 iv. Mary (Powell) TRIPP was born before 1774 in N.C..

12 v. John TRIPP was born in 1776 in North Carolina. We do not know if this is the John that is the father of Thomas Tripp born in

Union County, Illinois, on November 19, 1829. This is the most logical

connection. Another possibility is that this John had a son that was the father

of Thomas Tripp. It is almost certain that this is the right group of Tripps

that go back to Nicholas Tripp of Orange County, North Carolina. Eventually it

will probably be proven that Nicholas came down from the Rhode Island Tripps.

The best look to date is Peleg's wife Mary Gardner, whose father's name was

Nicholas Gardner.

13 vi. William TRIPP was born about 1778 in North Carolina. Records indicate that William moved

from N.C. to S.C. (Pentleton Co.)

16 ii. William TRIPP II was born in 1770 in South Carolina. He died on 10 May 1814. He was buried in Miller Cemetery, Cobden, Illinois. Another Tripp family having connections to South Carolina and Georgia

is identified in the following outline based on research done by Charles E.

Tripp of Herrin, Illinois, and provided by Mr. John Lee Perry, a descendant:

moving to Southern Illinois in the early 1800's. William Tripp died 10 May
