Welcome to the Tripp Families of North America! This database is dedicated to those immigrates who have come to North America from countries such as England, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Russia and others with the surname of Tripp or variations of such. We are in the process of documenting and placing these individuals into Branches making it easier for those researching their Tripp ancestors, where they came from, and which branch they belong to. Ten of the Branches are children of John “The Founder” Tripp who came to New England with his master Robert Jeffrey from London on the ship “Elizabeth and Anne” in 1635. (TG 10:195; see GDRI, pp.330-31). Other Branches go back to the original person who immigrated, some provide a connection to the Mayflower Project and others go back to the earliest known person in that Branch. John “The Founder” Tripp was baptized 8 September, 1611 in Horkstow, Lincolnshire, England a son of John and Isabel (Moses).  About 1639 he married Mary Paine and they raised 10 children.  His will is dated sixth day of the tenth month, 1677 and was proved the 28 day of October, 1678 in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island.
