• Notes

  From MossLJ (Linda) from various sources: Notes for Isaac Tripp: Isaac was a large land owner in the early settlement of Providence, Pennsylvania and was active in its material development. He owned a still house and with his son Stephen built the first grist mill on Leggets Creek. He must have been one of the wealthiest men in the valley judging from the taxes assessed against his property. In 1796 there were 90 taxables in Providence township, which extended from Rix's Gap to Pittston, and Isaac Tripp's tax was $15.89 while the next largest tax was $4.69 (from Hollisters History of Lackawanna Valley, 5th Edition, page 199). It is not known when Isaac settled in the Valley, however his family according to the family records which note the birth place of each child, came to the Valley between 1784 and 1787. It is quite likely that Isaac was there with his father before that date. The will of Isaac Tripp dated April 11, 1804 with a codicil dated August 23, 1806 is on record at Wilkes-Barre in Will Book A, page 84. Letters were granted to his widow, Martha Tripp August 18, 1807. The will declares that he has disposed of his real estate principally by deed of gifts to his five sons: William, Stephen, Amasa, Isaac, and Holden. He accordingly gives his personal estate to his daughters. ************ From MossLJ (Linda) from various sources: Notes for Isaac Tripp: Isaac was a large land owner in the early settlement of Providence, Pennsylvania and was active in its material development.
