• Notes

  Susannah Spencer was a daughter of Justice of the Peace William Spenser and he was the one who performed the marriage ceremony between his daughter Susanna Spencer and Isaac Tripp. The following information was taken form the Valentine Research Studio of Washington D.C., written by Caroline Valentine and published in 1932. Page 121: An unassuming will of a Rhode Island Justice of the Peace William Spencer,-- a will which was not even very long, was one of the most wide-reaching, for it helped to settle the descent of virtually all citizens of the state of Pennsylvania, who were born Tripps. Also it helped greatley to settle the question of Isaac Tripp's three marriages, one of which William spencer himself performed. Pennsylvania Tripps were nearly all from this first Isaac. They went out over the entire United States, and at this late date, they want to know there ancestry. Written after 1735, when Samuel was born, and apparently before the 1736 date on which Ruth was born, and nameing Sarah, Job and Samuel as his own grandchildren, it has forever settled some questions which could never have been settled without its facts.
