References: by Malcom McLeod: This is the information on margaret Tripp as taken from the Nova Scotia Public Archives. There are three references. Reference one is PANS # MGI, VOL.,2622 # 1. This is a file about the geneology of Jacob Rude. It states Jacob was married to Acus Tripp's daughter Margaret. It says she was born about 1775/56 and she died about 1785. She and Jacob had seven children. Then she died and Jacob subsequently remarried and had two more children. This information compiled by Jean Holder and is based upon the research of Marion Tulloch a noted genealogist who died in 1985. Assession # 1989-109. Reference two is from Valorie (Rhude) Eve from Ontario. Reference number is PANS MGI VOL., 2622 # 2. This is a fafamily tree for the Rudes. Essentially it just has Margaret Tripp, daughter of Acus, as the wife of Jacob Rude. A third reference is dated February 1972 and is from Marion Tulloch. Here she states Margaret Tripp is the first wife of Jacob and she cites references most of whom are descendents. One of her references of note is Anne Harding, formerly on staff with the New England Historical and Geneological Society. Fourthly...my great grandfather, Aaron Rood, who died at the age of 102 in 1952 had stated he had Tripps and Godfreys in his ancestry, now this isjust my surmising but here goes. Jacob Rude, from Massachusetts, was living near Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Acus Tripp was granted land in the area and he moved his family theere in 1761. I believe Acus and Sarah's first child was Margaret. You'll note they didn't have their first son until four years after they married. No birth control in those days. So Margaret was born about 1755. In 1774 or 1775 she married Jacob Tripp. Acus, who appears to like a good war, decided to return to New England when the revolution started. He took his family with him except for Margaret who was now married to Jacob Rude. I also believe the information stating Acus died in NNova Scotia is incorrect. It is possible no record was kept or that there was a record but it became lost. I concede that possibility. What I can't concede is that the man was totally stupid. Nova Scotia was British territory. Hadn't the man just been in a war with these guys. Anyway, there you have it. All the best, Malcom McLeod.
