Notes - Henry Dow Tripp son of Isaac Tripp, son of Job Tripp son of Peleg Tripp, son of John Tripp the Founder.
The first appointments by the justices in 1788 of the supervisors of roads in Pittston was Henry Dow Tripp of Providence. In 1788 a petition was received from Job Tripp and others to lay out a road. Isaac Tripp and Henry Dow Tripp were appointed. The next year Job Tripp was appointed.
It is clear that Henry Dow Tripp and William Tripp were not held by close ties to Isaac's other children. The later family had no story of William, and Henry has been shown under a semi-cloud, and smarting under a sense of injustice, connected vaguely with his army experiences, whs, while the fact that he was excluded from the First Forty has been long held against him. This last has small weight when we know that he was later associated with his father and brother Job in one of the larger groups of associate proprietors. His sore spot was doubtless his army experience. The army records show that, after being made a Lieutenant, he was demoted as not having sufficient education for an officer. No blame inhered in this. After the war, Henry lived for a time Morristown, New Jersey; as the church records show. He married there, Zeruiah Kenney, in 1765; there his last child by Zeruiah died in 1777, just a month after the death of the mother on January 21, 1777. The older son, Isaac D. Triripp,born in 1767, was early of Wyoming Valley, and later in new York state, near Ithaca; a yeoman. Henry Dow Tripp was of New York City, in business,on Ferry street in 1790 and much of his life thereafter was spent in that city. He seemems at one time to have been in business with his cousin, Lot Tripp, and in 1799 he was an "inn-holder" on East George St. He applied for his pension very late in life, as of New York City. Dr. W. Eustis certifies in the connected papers: "Henry Dow Tripp served as Steward of the General Hospital of the United States on the continental establishment, under my direction, several years: according to the best of my recollection, 1778, 1779 and 1780"; he had been previously an officer in the Jersey Line; "he is, in my opinion, justly entitled to the provisions of the act of Congress for the relief of the officers and soldiers of the Revolution who are in distressed circumstances". Henry's own declaration, addressed to Peter A. Jay, recorder of the city of New York, judge of the Mayor's Court of this city, "Respectifully showeth that the said applicant served (as per the Ellis affidavit)" more than nine months in the years 1778, and 1780". It alsso shows that Henry Dow Tripp "entered the service of the United States as Steward of the General Hospital, in the year 1778, and that "the said applicant is now ninety years old and upwards." All the above was duly recorded on the paperers in connection with Henry Dow Tripp's application, on August 26, 1819, the same day as that on which Henry was sworn. Henry's own wavering signature, at this time, shows his race nearly run: but later than this, we no nothing definitee. unfortunately, his son, Isaac D., died in his prime, in 1808, leaving Henry, as is believed, to fight his further way quite alone. In 1811-12, he was at No. 20 Augustus St., New York City.
