Notes:

Robert Tripp is my 2nd Cousin seven generations removed. He was a member of the Assembly, 1779, and Delegate to Continental Congress, November 12, 1776. References: Randall, James manuscript from the New Bedford Library; Breffni Whelan, Decendant who specializes in daughters and their offspring. Bock: A Robert Tripp was a soldier in the expedition against Louisburg in 1745 in Edward Cole's Company, 7th Massachusetts Regiment, and this may be he (REgister 25:261 [1871]). He is identified by Randall as the sa,e Robert Tripp who, as a resident of Beaufort County North Carolina was a delegate to the Provincial Congress November 12, 1776 (William Saunders, The Colonial Records of North Carolina, 10 [Goldsboro NC 1890] 913,915,960), a member of the State Assembly in 1779 (Walter Clark, The State Records of NC 13 [Goldsboro NC, 1896) 784-1000 passim) and the owner of large tracts of land in the county as early as July 2, 1762 (Beaufort County Deeds 3:562, July 2, 1762, recorded 1763 (300 A.). In the county tax lists for 1779 he holds no less than 6,370 acres, whereas in 1784, 1786 and 1789 he holds 400 Acres. It should be kept in mind that there was a John Tripp in Beaufort County as early as October 2, 1722 whose son William m. Eleanor, dau of Sherriff William Peyton (S. Wingate Reed, Bearufort County: Two Centuries of Its History [Raleigh NC, 1962] 82,116-7,164,217-8). Given the existance of this other family of Tripp, and the alleged age of Robert when the children of Robert and Grace Tripp were born, Randalls's attribution cannot be deemed proven. The will of Robert Tripp of Beaufort County was dated october 30 1800 with no probate date given; it names his wife Grace, son John as executor and mentions sons Joseph, William and Robert and daughter Barbara Lovett and Mary Reel, as well as a child in utero (if the Robert of Providence, he was almost 80 years old. According to Randall, he m/1----Williams; m/2----Williams. Issue by 3rd wife only. (Index of Rev War Pension Applications-S35356; Randall, James Tripp 8, 12; DAR Patriots Index 688). Bock does not mention or did not know that the John Tripp in Beaufort County North Carolina was a Trippe son of Henry Trippe of Maryland and went by Tripp only until Robert Tripp and his family arrived from Rhode Island, after which the family changed their name back to Trippe.
