Notes:

Nancy Jane Tripp is my 1st Great Grandaunt. Omer Owens was Nancy Jane Tripp Owens' Grandson. Nancy Jane was living with his family when she died in 1916. For me, it was like hearing from the far distant past. We had not known of this family foor over 100 years. Omer took Clara and I to her gravesite in the Oak Grove Cemetery, near Bordley, Kentucky. We had to push over some bushes and dig through the underbrush, and we found her foot stone N. J. O. Omer knew where it was. He was there when they buried her!! He remembered how hard it was for the men to dig the grave. It was January and very cold. Omer took me through the trees, down through a gulley close by and up on a ridge where the house had been when they were living there. The trees that he remembered were still there, but much larger. Some of the old flower beds were still there, as was the old hand dug well. It was like going back in time! As I stood by those old trees and looked down the little valllley I could almost see My Great Grandfather David, his brothers Zacheus, and William farming here so long ago! It is a pretty little valley and I will not forget it! Herman William Tripp--Remembering---- The 1850 cesus shows that Nancncy Jane was living with or near her Aunt Polly Tripp Millard. Her brother Zacheus was living nearby in the home of Aunt Polly's daughter, Martha Jane, wife of a Doctor S. M. Mitchell. We believe that Zacheus was farming land owned by the doctor. Clara and I found the stone of Martha Jane Millard Pease Mitchell on a nearby hill graveyard, near Blairsville, Posey County, Indiana.
