Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1850, Saline, Washtenaw, Michigan, USA

Notes:

!1)There was some thought that this woman might be Electa Marsh, born 30 Aug 1807, daughter of Benjamin Marsh. PLT Archives Vol TV15 IM4, p. 67 states that Edwin C. Russell is the youngest child of a large family and the last survivor. Edwin was born Jan 3, 1832. Electa Marsh was only 24 years old then. If she was married at age 15 or 16 and had a child a year, she might have had a large family by 1832. More research must be done before this connection can be made.

3) From History of Washtenaw Co, by Chapman, 1881, p508: TRIPP, THOMAS, Saline. Was born Washington County, NY, 1793; came to this county 1847. (Repeat, 1847, an error: it was 1837)

4) On 12 Nov 1884, in Saline, there was a family reunion. See V18, PLT ARCHIVES for details in News Clipping, 13 Nov 1884.

Some unidentified descendants to Thomas: 1. Mrs. Frank Rood, of Chicago
2. Mr. and Mrs R. H. Marsh and son Roy
3. Mr and Mrs G.B. Mason and daughter
4. Mr and Mrs Milton Clark
5. Mr. and Mrs Frank Clark and daughter
6. Mrs Milo Rouse of Saline
7. Homer Compson, of Jackson
8. Mrs H.J. Haight.

The article gives many important events. per newspaper account of reunion, above, on 6 Feb 1868, the 51st wedding anniversary, all ten children were present at a celebration, likely in Saline.

Chas Quick reports "There is a family plot with the large Tripp marker, one side lists Thomas (birth year 1791 an error?)

Inscription reads 'Gone but not forgotten', . . separate small marker, north end of cemetery, is R. G. Tripp, no dates but a flag to indicate Civil War Veteran."

Quick further states, "the family plot is in the center of the graveyard, called Oakhill Cemetery, on E side of Macon Rd between Braun and Willow Roads.

Land donated for cemetery by Milton and Rachel Tripp Reynolds.

Samuel and Thomas remained there, Perigo went west to Hillsdale County.

Further, Thomas' brother, BENAJAH, who remained in Seneca County, had a daughter Margaret Chalker [ID#20376] settle in Richland, Kalamazoo, Mi about the same time. This makes it Thomas, his two cousins, and a niece who all immigrated to Michigan about the same time.

9) Thomas and Nancy wife were of Tyre, Seneca, as were Jonathan, his father; a William, a Benajah; indeed, three Benajah's the earliest born near 1791." per Valentine, p173.
