  • Notes 
    • Gerald Sanford Tripp, son of John William Tripp, son of David Tripp, son of David R. Tripp, son of John Tripp, son of Job Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp, son of Job Tripp, son of Peleg Tripp, son of John Tripp the Founder.

      Gerald Sanford Tripp's name is interesting. Sanford is the maiden's name of his mother Alice Myrtle Sanford Tripp. Was this name trying to tell us something? Family research indicates that the name Sanford, from Isaac Horatio Sanford, descended down from John Sanford. John Sanford came to this country in the 1630's, same as John Tripp. They both signed the Portsmouth Compact to start the new town! They knew each other! Their descendants married each other! John William Tripp married Alice Myrtle Sanford and had Gerald Sanford Tripp! Astounding! Uncle Gerald was a basketball player! First of all he looked like a basketball player, and second, I heard about his playing ability from my earliest memories. He was an inspiration to me because I was also small, like him. My coach yelled at me, "Tripp, you have got to cover him. I don't care if he is bigger than you. Out smart him, use your speed." And I remembered my Uncle Gerald! If he could do it, I could do it! I made the team although I was smaller than anyone that went out for basketball.
