  • Notes 
    • Bock: The name Tripe was used for the first 4 generation, but later descendants used Tripp. Maine was part of Massachusetts at this time. Sylvanus, a weaver, bought land from Margaret's mother that later was known as Tripe's Point and is now part of Kittery Navy Yard. His will, written 29 December 1714, proved May 10, 1716, left his entire estate to wife Margaret for maintenance for herself and their eight children.(Old Kittery and her Families, 83; Jewett, Maquire Anc., 273-283; Valentine 139-140, additional land rec; GEMNH 694; Catherine Briggs, date of death as 1716; Sybil Noyes et al, " Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire" [Baltimore, 1983] 694; Randall, Sylvanus Tripp, unp. ms at New Bedford Library). Note 1: Recent DNA testing of male descendants of John Tripp and Sylvanus Tripp [Tripe] confirm they are not genetically related. John's descendants are in Haplogroup R1b while Sylvanus' descendants belong to a much older I2 haplogroup.Note 2: Stephen D. Tripp suggests "Sylvanus was probably the son of Gabriel Tripe of Totnes, Devonshire, who immigrated to Kittery before 1650. The Diamonds were probably also from Devonshire.
