Glen Robertson lives in Morro Bay, on the California coast. He is my eighth cousin, one time removed. His address is :
Glen Robertson 2031 Seaview Avenue Morro Bay, California, 93442 Phone 805-772-7477 Dear Glen, We certainly enjoyed meeting you, on the bay overlooking the Pacific Ocean. What a treat! I thank you for all of the information that you had at your fingertips, and I have entered it all in the computer for posterity. It is very interesting about your wife's devotion to her sisters children and I commend you for your part in raising those children. Stories like this, I think, needs recording and remembering! I mentioned to you when I was there that I would be very interested in knowing more about Genevieve's ancestory. If you can find some relative of hers that goes back to the Faribanks family, I will check it out. Herman William Tripp--Remembering----

Notes:
When Genevieve Susan Fairbanks' sister Evelyn died leaving two children, Leroy aged 3 and June aged about 1, she decided that the best thing to do to prevent adopting them out was to marry Evelyn's husband and raise the children. His name was Roildren. His name was Roy Freer. After eleven years of marriage, she divorced him, met and married Glen Lincoln Robertson. Glen helped raise the children to maturity, and they live in the area with their families. Glen lives at 2031 Seaview Avenue Morro Bay, California Phone 805-

Notes:
Samuel Volturner Tripp was "bound out" to a man to work for his keep as was the custom in those days, when widows could not support all the children. In 1850 he joined a wagon train, leaviving St Joseph, Missouri bound for California. Parts of the diary he wrote on the way and after arriving in California. Jewell Tripp Roberts has a copy.
He arrived in Placerville (Hang Town) where he worked in the mines for a while, but spent most of his time raising garden produce to sell to the miners. From there he went to Trinity country where there was another gold strike.
He was around Weaverville where he also raised vegetables to sell to the miners. He and another man had a pack train to carry supplies to the miners.
He and his partner went to Oregon and bought hogs which they were driving to California. The Indians attacked, killing the partner and scattering the hogs. He escaped and made his way back to Weaverville.
He had smallpox, which was very serious at that time, but survived. He married Rose Ann Ramsey. They moved from Shasta County to Los Angeles where he worked as a brick mason.
When Los Angeles was growing, most of the better buildings were brick. The brick masons at that time made and fired their own bricks and used lime mortar. Cement wasn't available at the time. When the old buildings were taken down, they paid for used brick rather than new brick making them cost more than new.
After Six children and Rose Ann's death in Yucalpa, California he moved to San Bernadino, California, where he married Caroline Covington, in 1872. He and Caroline had 10 children.
The Hemet, California paper, on Friday, May 2, 1924 headlined: FATHER OF TRIPPS PIONEER RESIDENT
Inseparably linked with the history of the San-Jacinto Valley is the pioneer Tripp family. The original member of the family to locate here was S.V. Tripp, who died in 1892. He crossed the plains to California in 1853, going first to Shasta and Trinity counties, where he conducted a pack train from the mining camps to San Francisco. S. V. Tripp was a brick mason by trade. He assisted in the erection of the first brick building in Los Angeles. In 1860 he went to San Bernardino, where he erected the first jail in that city. Coming to Riverside County, he devoted himself to ranching in the vicinity of San Jacinto.
For several years he served as justice of the peace for San Jacinto Township, and it was before him that Sam Temple, murderer of Alessandro, appeared for trial.
The transcript of the testimony in that trial was printed in The News several weeks ago. In Hellen Hunt Jackson's book, "Ramona," the Judge Wells of the story is Mr. Tripp. S.V. Tripp was twice married, his first wife having been Rosa Ramsey of Ohio. Six children were born of this union. Four of them still living in this vicinity ar are Shasta A. Tripp, O.C. Tripp, William B. Tripp and Mrs. Q. Reed. After the death of his first wife Mr. Tripp married Caroline Covington of Mississippi. They became the parents of ten children.
The above story is a copy sent to me with a picture of Samuel Volturner Tripp that was printed in the paper with the story. Thanks to Sally Tripp of Red Bluff California. I think that he is worth knowing about and remembering.
The official brand owned by Samuel Volturner Tripp was a "Letter T over a letter W connected, over inverted quarter circle. The location of the brand was to be on the left hip. The ear mark was to be a notch in the lower right ear and the left ear split after the end was clipped off." This brand and earmark have been handed down to Sally Loraine Tripp, great granddaughter.
