  • Notes 
    • Priore temple ordinance data was: Baptism 17 Aug 1965 UK temple Endowment 21 Jan 1966 UK temple Seal to Parents 21 Feb 1968 SL temple !1)From the birth certificates of his seven children, he was employed as a mill hand (1890), laborer (1892), and as a farmer (1896-1907). I got a certified copy of record of marriage (24 Aug 1889) for him and Emma E. Hill on 27 oct 1986, which shows place of marriage, Freesoil, and names RLDS Eldlder John J. Cornish as official marrying them, and gives Robert Kenyon and Alice Baker as witnesses. It also names parents except it spells Emily W. Beebe and doesn't give Joseph Hill's wife's name, who is Margaret Jane Dickson. Strange. Ageges at marriage: He 26, she 19. 2) To me his life is one of tragedy. I need to know more of it, but he seemed to remain silent in his separation from Emma. He didn't seem to be able to get close to his children, worked faithfully throughout hiis life, and died separate from his wife and family. The children were divisive, angry. I sense this tragedy as an outgrowth of Emma's embitterment, her disillusionment with life, her children, her husband. Where did this come from? Are there childhood school records? For Jess, at Cass Technical. What events in Detroit are documented? The tragic deaths of two of the sons? There just wasn't much communication. Much feeling. Much closeness. Some, at the later years, between ththe children, admittedly. 3)We go round and round on his birth date. Van Buren county record, per PLT ARCHIVES V23, gives CENSUS: (SEE James William Tripp notes) with Willie age five. The accuracy of the census record is high, correlating witith birth dates for all other children, thus I must conclude William Thomas was born about Feb 1865 (to fit 10 months after Nellie, but before census date of 24 June 1870. But to fit for Charlie, he needs to be born 10 months before 11 Feb 1866, which gives a range of Feb 1865 through May 1865. The October 17 part definitely does not fit. I choose a mid-point calculated birth of April 1865. Jeez, Emily, a child in 1864,5,6,7,8 and 1870 . . one every year. James was really home from the war, eh? William's old date, 17 Oct 1862, is hereby discarded. However, the marriage certificate verifies his birth occurred before 24 Aug 1863, which does NOT jive with the 1870 Census. This matter continues to be moot.PLT 4)PLT Archives, Vol TV19 IM7. Note: Grandpa Tripp's Brother's daughter: Ceceile McLolin, 4341 Buckingham Road, Royal Oak, MI. Li 9-3068.
