John Tripp 1611-1678 A Glimpse into Our Founders Life

John Tripp, A Glimpse into Our Founder's Life

© November, 2016
This paper is my way of getting to know our ancestor, John Tripp, who lived from 1611 to 1678 and
immigrated from England to the New World. To do this I have combined some of the major events of
the founding of Rhode Island and colonial life with the known activity of John, and through this synthesis
he has begun to reveal himself. This exploration could not have been done without The Early Records of
the Town of Portsmouth, Records of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in New
England, and the multitude of genealogical research about the first colonists that provide what we know
about John.
