PREFACE.

The Tripp records contained in this small vol-
ume do not comprise a full genealogy of the
Tripp family in America. No such work has
yet been undertaken so far as the writer has
ascertained. These records were mainly gathered
while the author was engaged in collecting data
for his Dean family history. As he is related by
blood to Isaac Tripp, the first of the Tripp name
to settle in Luzerne county contemporaneously
with his Dean ancestor, he was easily persuaded
by some of his Tripp relatives to continue his
labor and print the result of his researches and
correspondence for the benefit of all who might
be interested in the Tripp family records. While
the original plan of the author to i)rint and bind
the two family records together has been carried
out in the main, he has deemed it best to issue a
limited number of copies of the Tripp book sepa-
rately for the benefit of those who are not inter-
ested in the Dean records, and thus enable them
to procure the part they want at a small cost.

The chief merit the author claims for this
work is its accuracy, so far as painstaking care
would lead to that end. That there are numer-
ous errors which readers will discover he readily
concedes. Seldom has he found two persons who
would furnish exactly similar copies of the
records of the same family. As his information

iii

has come to him mainly in copies furnished by
some member of a family, he has had few oppor-
tunities of proving the accuracy of the record.

That this record is incomplete in some lines is
due to the fact that all trace of some branches
of a family is lost, and letters mailed to the last
known address have elicited no reply.

Much delay has been caused by the dilatoriness
of correspondents who seem to think that any
time is as good as the present for matters of so
little importance as family history.

The plan of this work is quite simple, and a
brief explanation will enable any one whose
name appears, or who can trace his descent from
any of those herein named, to follow back his
line to the immigrant and founder of the family
in America, John Tripp, of Portsmouth, E. I.
The numeral at the end of the Christian name
represents the generation, counting from John
as of the first generation. The consecutive
figures in heavy type in front of each name, is
the number of the individual and reappears in
brackets in the center of the page when that
individual is discussed or becomes the head of a
family. The general index of Tripps at the end
of the book indicates the page where the indi-
vidual is to be found.

Take for illustration the name Harry^^ M.
Tripp on page 38. The figures " 11" show that
ho is of the 11th generation from John^. He is
the son of Alem^o, whose number is 169, as
shown by the central number in brackets. Turn
back to No. 169 found on page 37 and it is seen

IV

that he is son of Charles®, whose number is 158,
and he the son of Danford® C. No. 155, who was
son of Thomas'' No. 124, who was son of Wil-
liam® No. 12, who was son of Job^ No. 3, who
was son of Isaac^ No. 1, the founder of the
family in Luzerne county, Pa., who is assumed to
be the son of Job^ of Peleg^ of John^ by the
process of reasoning contained in pages two and
three.

The author takes this opportunity of express-
ing the hope that all who read these pages will
take new and deeper interest in collecting and
preserving family records so that the task will be
less difficult for the future genealogist who
undertakes the work of preparing a complete his-
tory of the Tripp family in America.

The Tripp Family.

The fact that the writer's grandmother was a
Tripp, and her family prominent in the history
of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, is a suffi-
cient reason to warrant the putting into perma-
nent form such--i-ecords as he has been able to
gather of this family. The Tripps in this
vicinity, as well as many others of the name
scattered over the United States, spring from
John Tripp, who came from England and located
at Portsmouth, R. L, in 1638, when about 28
years of age. He was a carpenter by ti-ade. His
wife was Mary Paine, daughter of Anthony
Paine. He was a prominent citizen, filling the
office of deputy many terms, also membei- of the
town council. He died in 1678. His children
were :

John, born about 1640.

Peleg, born about 1642.

Joseph, born about 1644. --

Mary, born about 1646.

Elizabeth, born about 1648.

Isabel, born about 1651. ~~"

Abiel, born about 1653. w-""^

James, born about 1656.

Martha, born about 1658.

Ifc is the writer's belief that our family of
Tripps are descended from Peleg, second son of
John Tripp. The reasons for this belief will be
given later when discussing the family of Job
Tripp.

Peleg Tripp married Anna Sisson, daughter of
Richard Sisson, the immigrant.

It is a cuiious circumstance that in my own
household, after many years, the Tripp and Sisson
blood is again united.

My grandmother was a Tripp, making me a
descendant of John Tripp, and my wife was a
Sisson, direct descendant of Richard Sisson,
hence in my children is united the blood of these
old Tripp and Sisson immigrants.

Austen's Dictionary of Rhode Island families
which furnishes the data concerning the first
three generations of Tripps does not give the
dates of birth of Peleg's children, but their names
in the following order :

John.

Priscil].a.

Sakah.

Job.

Peleg.

iMary.

Ann.

Meihtable.

Richard.

Juflging from the birth dates of the children
of John 'J'ripp, oldest brother of Peleg, we can
saf.-ly fix tlif birth of Peleg's first child at about
K>«>7. and allowing two years between births

would give 1683 as the date of the last child,
Richard's birth.

Job, the fourth child, would fall on or about
1673. It is from this Job, son of Peleg, that we
believe the Tripp family in Luzerne and Lacka-
wanna counties descends. The evidence is far
from satisfactory or conclusive, but in absence
of definite proof we must be content with such
as can be had. The prevalence of the name Job
in our Tripp line leads us to attach our family to
Job rather than to any other decendant of John.
We know that Job was born not far from 1673.
We find the birth of a second Job recorded in
Arnold's Vital Records of Rhode Island, on 20
Apiil, 1701, who could have been a son of the
first Job. This second Job had a son Job, born
28 June, 1734. We have discovered no record of
the birth of our ancestor, the first Isaac, who
came from Rhode Island among the early emi-
grants to the Wyoming Valley, but we can ap-
proximate the time, as he was an old man when
killed by the Indians in 1778. Hence he could
have been born any time from 1700 to 1710.
We know he had a son Job, as will be shown
later. The only Job we know of who could have
been Isaac's brother is Job 2d, born 20 April,
170 1 , whom we have assumed to be the son of
Job 1st, son of Peleg. There was only one Job
in the 3d generation of Tripps in this Rliode
Island family, and there was no Isaac, hence the
most reasonable conclusion is that our Isaac"*
was a brother of Job^, son of Job®, son of
Peleg2, son of John^.

Job Tripp was admitted a citizen of Newport

Ill 1726 ; was deputy or member of the Assembly
for North Kingston in 1734 and 1738 ^

A Job Tripp was deputy for the town of Exe-
ter in 1757''.

Job Tripp, Jr., w^as admitted a citizen of Exe-
ter in 1757^.

Job Tripp was admitted a citizen of Warwick
in 1759*.

Our definite family records of Tripps begins
with the 1st Isaac, born about 1700. We know
nothing certain of his birth either as to time or
place, and only inferentially as to his parentage.
The vital records of many towns in Rhode Island
are in a detective condition due to fire, ravages
of the pubhc enemy and natural decay. Hence
it is not strange that many names are lost even
if once placed upon the town records. We learn
fioni history that Isaac was a Quaker in religion,
a faith that had many followers in the early
days of Rhode Island. That he was a man of
abihty and substance will appear from the cir-
cumstances herein recorded. An Isaac Tripp,
eitiier father or son, was admitted a citizen of
Warwick in 1758^

Fur some time he resided at Pomfret, Conn., as

Isaac** Tripp, Sr., was one of the early settlers
in the Wyoming Valley, and no doubt the occa-
sion of his selling his property in Warwick, R. I.,
was to enable him to invest largely in the new
settlement on the Susquehanna and Lackawanna
rivers. As early as 1768, he, with another of the
writer's ancestors, Ezra Dean, was appointed as
a connnittee for Rhode Island to admit the first
two hundred settlers under the Connecticut title
to lands in Wyoming Valley ; and Isaac Tripp
was on the same day appointed to serve on a
committee with Benjamin Follett, John Jenkins,
William Buck and Benjamin Shoemaker, "to
approve, admit, oversee, superintend, manage,
and order the affaii's and proceedings of the first
forty settlers, to receive and order the moneys
granted to their use, to lay out and prepare a
coavenient road to said Susquehanna river, etc. "^

After the ineffectual attempt to make a per-
manent settlement in 1763, Isaac Tripp, with the
first forty settlers arrived in the valle}^ 8 Feb-
ruary, 1769.

We have seen in the earlier part of this book'
that Ezra Dean was one of these forty settlers.

It is quite likely that these two men, Isaac
Tripp and Ezra Dean, were neighbors and inti-
mate friends in Rhode Island, as both were
agents of the Connecticut Susquehanna Company
for that State, and togetlier shared the dangers
and i)rivutioiis of pioneers in a new country sur-
rouiiiU'd with Indian foes, and whites no less
hostile. On their arrival they found the im-

provements and blockhouse erected by their
friends in 1762 in tlie possession of the Pennsyl-
vania proprietors, under command of Captain
Amos Ogden. Isaac Tripp and Benjamin Follett
of the executive committee, and Vine Elderken,
M^ere selected to negotiate with Ogden, at his in-
vitation. No sooner were they within the fort
than they were arrested by Sheriff Jennings, and
were carried off to Easton jail. Here they quick-
ly secured bail and returned to Wyoming^.

Thus began the Pennymite war which was
waged with great fury and much bloodshed be-
tween the settlers, under the Connecticut title,
and the Pennsylvania proprietors. During these
trying times Isaac Tripp was a prominent man
in the colony. If the Westmoreland records
were only within reach of the anxious inquirer
for facts relating to the eaily history of the val-
ley, much interesting family data would, no
doubt, be disclosed concerning Isaac Tripp and
his children. But these valuable records have
long been lost or destroyed. It is only an occa-
sional glimpse into the past that we now can
gain after diligent research. We find that the
town of Exeter, in Luzerne county, just north
of Kingston, was granted to Isaac Tripp, John
Jenkins and Jonathan Dean 28 November, 1772'.

In 1777 Isaac"* Tripp was representative to the
Connecticut assembl}' for Westmoreland, the
name of the town comprising the Wyoming val-

ley, which was attached to the county of Litch-

field^

In a letter of Judge Jesse Fell of Vv^ilkes-Barre
to the state commissioners, dated 29 May, 1802,
he states that the grant of the town of Provi-
dence had been obtained by Isaac Tripp^.

The Susquehanna Company on 2 June, 1773,
appointed Gideon Baldwin, Timothy Keys, and
Isaac Tripp, directors or proprietors of Provi-
dence^.

A list* of the original owers of lots in the cer-
tified town of Providence is given by Isaac Tripp,
son of Isaac Tripp, Esq., as they existed 22 March,
1773, in which it appears that

Isaac* Tripp settled on the Capouse meadows,
now within the city of Scranton, as early as 1771,
as also did his son-in-law, Jonathan Slocum*.

His son Isaac^ Tripp, Jr., was a purchaser in
the same locality between 1772 and 1775. Isaac
Tripp purchased certified lot No. 14, of Daniel
Adams, 7 July, 1771:. The deed is copied entire
in Hollister's History of Lackawanna Valley®.

21 October, 1788, Matthew Taylor, of Danbury,
Conn., sells to Isaac Tripp, of Susquehannah,
one- half of certified lot No. 11 of Providence ^

9 October, 1780, John Staples of Wilkes-Barre,
sells to Isaac Tripp one-half of riglit No. 7 at
Providence, and recites that Staples got it of
Captain John Howard, of Windham, Conn., who
got it of the proprietors^.

Isaac* Tiipp, Sr,, was killed by Indians after
the Wyoming massacre, 16 December, 1778,
while assisting his son-in-law, Jonathan Slocum,
to feed stock from a stack in the field on the Slo-
cum farm where now is the city of Wilkes-Barre.
Slocum was also killed and a son William
wounded'.

It would be interesting to many readers to
find here an account of the capture of Isaac**
Tripp's granddaughter, Frances Slocum, by the
Indians, and her long captivity and life as the
wife of an Indian chief ; but it would be too long
for insertion in a family record of this character.
It must suffice to say that when she was discov-
ered by her brothers in 1837, she refused to leave
her home with her children, near Peru, Indiana,
and return to civilization. I must refer those
who are interested in her history to the account
found in Miner's History of Wyoming, Peck's
History of Wyoming, and a more complete and
later account in Maginnis' Life of Frances
Slocum.

The family record of Isaac* Tripp, Sr., is not

authentic. No private or official record has thus
far been found. Some of his children are known,
but whether the list here given is complete or
not, we do not know. The oldest living descend-
ant of whom we have knowledge is Mrs. Polly
(Tripp) Bobbins, living at 1422 N. Main avenue,
Scranton, Pa., who is a daughter of Stephen
Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp, Jr., of Providence,
hence great dranddaughter of Isaac Tripp, Esq.,
the first of the name to settle in Wyoming Val-
ley. Mrs. Bobbins tells the writer that from
tradition the family of Isaac'* Tripp, Sr. , was the
following : By his first wife, who was a Sweet^,
he had a son William^, who was a sailor, and no
record of him is preserved.

He married for his 2d wife a Spencer, and had
two children : Job^ and Ruth^. He mariied for
his 3d wife, Sarah Dow, and had Isaac® and
Henry® Dow Tripp.

Assuming the tradition to be correct we would
then have the following as the record of Isaac
Tripp's children :

We also find in the Rhode Island records an
account of a Samuel Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp,
of Exeter, born 19 April, 1735, and died 10 June,
179S^. His age would make him contemporary

lo

with the children of our Isaac* Tripp, but as we
have no proof or tradition that he was of the
same family, we have not included him in the list
of our Isaac's children.

It is somewhat remarkable that so little is
known of Job Tripp's descendants by the family
of his brother Isaac. My father, Isaac Dean,
who has the widest acquaintance of any person
living, with the descendants of Isaac, knows
nothing of Job's family, though many live in the
same and adjoining counties. What data I have
been able to collect has been secured from records
or correspondence with members of the family.
I will follow the same plan Avith the Tripp as in
the JQean genealogy, taking up each child of
Job*^, and writing all that has been learned of
such child and his or her descendants before
taking up the family of Isaac, which will then
be treated in the same manner.

Job Tripp and Descendants.

Job^ Tripp (Isaacs Job^, Peleg^, Johni ).
We have no record of the birth of this Job
Tripp, but we can approximate to its date. If it
was his father who married Sarah Sweet in 1729,
and after her death married a Spencer, and Job
was the first child of this union, he was born
probably not earlier than 1731, nor later than
1736. He married 16 May, 1757, Hannah Eice,
daughter of William Rice, deceased ^ We have
no record of the time or place of his death, but
it was prior to 1792.

Mrs. Polly Tripp Robbins says that Job Tripp
lived below Lackawanna, and was buried in the
old Griffin burying ground near Bull's Head,
between Hyde Park and Providene. A careful
search in this ground revealed no stone with his
name or initials upon it.

On 8 January, 1793, John^ Tripp, administra-
tor of Job^ Tripp, late of Providence, conveys' to
Micajah Harding, lot No. 15, in Providence, for
the sum of 48 pounds, 10 shillings.

Job^ Tripp was the administrator of his father's
estate, and this fact would go to confirm the

tradition related by Mrs. Polly (Tiipp) Robbiiis
that Job^ was the oldest living son of his father,
Isaac^ Tripp.

Job Tripp, administrator of Isaac ^ Tripp, con-
veyed lot No. 12, Providence, to Isaac^ Tripp for
365 pounds, 12 August, 1788, and recites: "I,
Job Tripp, of Providence, administrator of my
father, Isaac Tripp, late of Providence, de-
ceased, etc"^

This recital in the above-mentioned deed fully
confirms the memorandum carefully preserved to
this day, v^hich I took vvrhen a youth from a con-
versation with my great aunt, Nancy Tripp
Vaughan. My curiosity was aroused by her
relating the circumstances of her grandfather's
death at the hands of savages. I then copied her
father's family record, the only one I know to be
in existence at this time, and I also noted down
other family history which she related, among
which was the statement that her father Isaac^
had a brother Job.

I have as yet obtained no authoritative record
of Job's children, but from information received
from Mis. Polly Tripp Robbins, Hosea Phillips,
Rhode Island vital records, and other sources, I
give the list below, but am not sure that it ia
complete.

Isaac® Tripp ( Job^, Isaac*, Job^, Peleg^,

Was born in Warwick, Rhode Island, 27 Novem-
ber, 1760. He came with his father, Job^ Tripp,
to Providence, Pa., about 1771. Soon after the
bloody massacre which occurred 3 July, 1778, in
the Wyoming Valley, Squire Isaac* Tripp and
his grandson, Isaac® Tripp, with t-wo other young
men, Keys and Hocksey, were captured by the
Indians at Providence. The old man, who was
a Quaker, and had been friendly with the Indians,
they painted and dismissed. The young men
were taken through Leggett's Gap into the forests
of Abington. Near the present village of Clark's
Summit, Keys and Hocksey were tomahawked
and scalped. Tradition says that when the
bloody knives w^ere flourished around young
Tripp's head he never winced, and on account of
his bravery they spared his life. He was carried
off with nmch suffeiing to Canada, where he was
retained in captivity till after the end of the

Lydia® Tripp, ( of Job^ ) married first a Hard-
ing. We do not know^ his first name or anything
of his family. We know that she survived her
husband, and on 17 November, 1816, she was
married by Elder John Miller to Deacon John
Phillips, of Abington, as his second wife. At
the time of her second marriage her residence is
given by Elder Miller as Deer Park, N. Y. ^ She
died 4 December, 1840.

(10)

Of Mary® Tripp ( of Job^ ) we know nothing.
She may not have lived to maturity. The only
record is that of her birth in the Rhode Island
vital statistics for Warwick.

(11)

John® Tripp ( of Job^, Isaac*, Job^, Peleg^,

John^). He was born in Middletown, R. I., 5

September, 1766. We do not know when he

came to Pennsylvania from Rhode Island, but

of Wyoming Historical Society, for 1902, volume 7.

probably came with his father about 1771. He
married Martha Philhps, daughter of Deacon
John Phillips, 10 December, 1789. Deacon Phil-
lips was then a resident of Pittston.

On 6 June, 1792, John Phillips deeds^ to his
son-in-law, John Tiipp, 100 acres of land in Pitts-
ton "in consideration of love and good will."
The residence of both parties was stated to be
Pittston.

21 August, 1793, William Donaldson deeds' to
John Tiipp, 700 acres of land in Exeter town-
ship, Luzerne county. Pa. On 10 November.
1794, John deeds^ 300 acres of this land to William
Tripp, of Exeter, who, T am convinced, was a
brother of John Tripp, and on 18 March, 1795,
he deeds^ the remaining 400 acres of this land to
his father-in-law, John Phillips.

John Tripp was the administrator of his father.
Job Tripp's estate.

On 17 December, 1791, he presented a petition*
to the Orphans' Court of Luzeine county, asking
for an order to sell his father's real estate to pay
debts exceeding his personal property by 59£,
13s., lOp., and the Court granted the order. The
sureties of the administrator were John Phillips
and Ebenezer Slocum. The residence of Job
Tripp was stated as late of Providence.

As administrator of Job Tripp, John Tripp,
deeds", 8 January, 1793, lot 15 in Providence,

comprising 375 acres, with a log house, toMicajah
Harding for 48£, 10s., and Harding promptly
reconveys^ this land to John Tripp, in his private
capacity. 10 May, 1794, John Tripp sells^ 210
acres of lot 15 to John Staples for 1U0£., and the
same day sells^ the balance of lot 15 to Stephen
Gardner, of Providence, for 100£. This looks
like a pretty good deal for John Tripp to sell at
over 400 per cent, profit, but had he kept this
375 acres of coal land in the heart of the city of
Scranton a hundred years, or even less, it would
have made his family millionaires. This land
afterwards came into the family of Isaac Tripp,
the uncle of John. Hosea Phillips, now living
at Justus, Lackawanna county, Pa., over ninety
years of age, who is a nephew of John Tripp,
says that his uncle lived near Priceburg, between
Scranton and Olyphant, and was buried in a
cemetery which was vacated when the boulevard
was constructed. John Tripp was a carpenter
by trade. His children were :

75. William'7, born 4 September, 1790.

76. James'', born 25 May, 1792.

77. Sarah'7, born 1 November, 1794.

William^ Tripp ( of John® ). I have not heen
able to get any trace of this Ti'i[)p by con-pspond-
ence with other members of John's family. If
there was such a son, it is strange that some of
the relatives do not remember of his existence.
He may have died young, and so left no famil\\

I have no record of his death or of his leaving
any descendants. His name appears first in the
list of John's children published in 1901, by Mary
Besecker Stone, in writing a history of the
Stephen Miller family. She drew her informa-
tion as to the Tripp connection lai-gely from the
records of Deacon John Phillips, whose daughter,
Martha, was John Tripp's wife.

(76)

Jambs'^ Tripp (of John®) was born 25 May,

Zacheus'7 Tripp (of John®), died in early man-
hood. He studied for the Baptist ministry, but
his health failed. He sailed to England, but
growing worse returned immediately, and died
in quarantine before reaching shore.

(80)

David "^ Tripp (of John® ). I have been able to
learn little of this son of John Tripp or of his
family. In 1838, David and his family, in com-
pany with his sister, Mary or Polly Millard and
her husband, having built a canal boat at Pitts-
ton, migrated to the west. They went by canal
to Pittsburg (using the railroad over the moun-
tain), then by the Ohio river to Evansville, Ind.
Their boat was thirty- eight feet long, and was
their home from Pittston to Evansville, Ind.
Here the two families parted and lost sight of
each other. As strange as it may seem, the
families kept up no correspondence, and I am
unable to get the names of David's children.
David died a few years after moving to Indiana.
His wife's name was Elizabeth or Betsy. The
oldest son was Ealph, another Zacheus, and there
were some girls whose names could not be ascer-
tained.

RuTH^ Tripp (of Isaac'*), married 23 Febru-
ary, 1757, Jonathan Slocum^. She was born 21
March, 1736. He was born in East Greenwich,
Kent county, R. I., 1 May, 1733. They resided
in Warwick, R. I., where he followed the trade
of blacksmith. As early as 1771 he was in Prov-
idence, Pa., as is shown by this record : "A lot
surveyed to Colonel Lodwick Ojidirk in ye town-
ship called ye Capoose Meadows, passed into the
hands of Jonathan Slocum in 1771, on account of
Slocum's doeing ye duty of a settler for Ojidirk. "^

It is believed that his family settled at Wilkes-
Barre as early as 1774.

On 6 November, 1775, he received a deed from
Jonathan Fitch for lot number 15, in the second
division of the town plot of Wilkes-Barre. He
settled within a hundred yards of Wilkes-Barre
fort, and there his daughter Frances was cap-
tured by the Indians 2 November, 1778, and
carried into captivity. On the 16th of December,
1778, Jonathan Slocum and his father-in-law,
Isaac Tripp, were killed by the Indians while
they were feeding cattle from a stack in the
meadow in sight of the fort.

The children of Jonathan Slocum and Ruth^
Tripp Slocum were:

Isaac Tripp and Descendants.

We do not know much of the active life of
this ancestor. His name does not appear so
prominently in the history of Luzerne county as
does that of his father, Isaac'*. We know that
he was a large land owner in the early settle-
ment of Providence, Pa., and was active in its
material development. He owned a still house,
and with his son Stephen built the first grist
mill on Leggett's creek. He must have been
one of the wealthiest men in the valley, judging
from the taxes assessed against his property. In
1796 there were 90 taxables in Providence town-
ship, which extended from Rix's Gap to Pittston,
and Isaac Tripp's tax was $15.89, while the next
largest tax was $4.69i.

We do not know exactly when this Isaac
settled in the valley, but we can tell very closely
when his family was brought there from the
family record which fortunately notes the birth
place of each child. This tells us that the family
came to Providence between 1784, and 1787. It
is quite likely that Isaac^ was there with his
father Isaac* prior to the former date.

Isaac ^ Tripp was born at East Greenwich, R. I.,
27 July, 1743. Martha Wall, his wife, was born
at East Greenwich, R. I., 29 January, 1745.

Wm. Tripp and Descendants.

William® Tripp ( of Isaac^) was born in East
Greenwich, R. I., 11 July, 1767. He sold his land
in Luzerne county and moved to Ohio, settling
near Steuben ville in 1824. He was killed by an
accident in 1836. A yoke of oxen which he was
driving ran away and he was thrown under the
wheels, causing injuries which proved fatal. He
was twice married ; the name of the second wife
I have not been able to ascertain. The first wife
was Catherine Holbert, and by her he had three
children.

204. Albert'.

205. Lovina''.

206. William '^ Henry Augustus.

By his second wife he had also three children.
SOr. Jacob'.

208. Isaac'.

209. Catherine'.

We have no account of Albert Tripp, nor of the
children by second wife, though much effort
has been made to get trace of them.

W. Wright of Hocking county, Ohio, in 1828.
They had ten children, viz : Albert, Lucinda,

William'7 Henry Augustus Tripp (of Will-
iam^ ) was born 25 June, 1802, near Marietta,
Washington county, Ohio. His grandmother
Holbert brought him to Athens county, Ohio,
thence to Nelsonville, and from there to Logan,
Hocking county, Ohio, where he married Nancy
A. Roby, who was born 14 May, 1805, in Harrison
county, Virginia. She died 9 November, 1894.
They lived in Hocking county about two years,
then moved to Haydensville, Athens county,
Ohio. In 1835, they moved to Jackson county,
Ohio. He joined the United Brethren Church, in
1830, and was ordained as a minister of that
denomination in 1845. He worked hard on his
farm and at the carpenters trade during the week
and preached Saturday nights and Sundays with-
out charge for his services. Of his nine sons,
seven were in the Union army at the same time.
The father was a Whig, and the sons all belonged
to the Republican party, in fact it would be
difficult to find a Democrat in all the Tripp
family of this branch, at least. He died 20 Janu-

Amasa Tripp & Descendants.

Amasa® Tripp ( of Isaac^ ) was born in East
Greenwich, R. I., 8 April, 1Y74. His father, in
his migration from R. I., stopped with his family
some years at Rhinebeck, N. Y., at least the
years from 1Y78 to 1784, as we learn from the
family record which gives the birth of three of
his children at the latter place.

His father, who was a very large land owner
in the Township of Providence, now city of
Scranton, divided his land among his sons, but
Amasa sold his portion and moved to the frontier
of civilization at that time, and located at Leroy,
Genesee county, N. Y. The land that he sold
for a trifling sum would now bring a fortune, as
it was some of the best coal land in the Lacka-
wanna Valley. He married Jerusha Dolph, of
Providence, Pa.

The writer has had great difficulty in learning
the little he has gathered concerning this branch
of the Tripp family. Though Amasa Tripp was
my father's uncle, and my father has visited in
his ninety-one years of life many branches of his
mother's family, going three times to the Pacific
coast within the last fifteen years, yet he had
almost no acquaintance with this family, and only
an indistinct recollection of the names of some of
Amasa's children. Many letters of inquiry still
remain imanswered, and it was late in the pro-
gress of this work before the little I now record

60

was elicited. I regret that no better and fuller
account can at this time be furnished for the
benefit of all who are interested in obtaining a
full and correct family record. The following is
probably a correct list of Amasa's children, but
as birth dates are not given, it is not certain that
the order is that of their ages :

301. Henry'7.

303. HOLDEN^.
303. ISAAC'7.

304. Chandler'7

305. Horace^.

306. Elizabeth'7.

307. Caroline'7.

308. Jerusha'7.

309. Rachel^

(301)

Henry "7 Tripp ( of Amasa® ) was born in Penn-
sylvania 4 March, 1799, before his father removed
to New York State. He married Lydia Guthrie,
who died 25 March, 1875.

He went as a youth to Leroy, N. Y., where he
resided until he was twenty-five years of age,
when he selected a farm on Beech Ridge, Pendle-
ton, Niagara county, N. Y., which he occupied
until his death, which occurred 24 April, 1891, in
his 93rd year. He was a man of strong character,
with many excellent qualities of mind and heart.

He was early inured to toil, and among the
pleasant reminiscences of his boyhood was his
service as a teamster when only 14 years of age,

6i

in furnishing the soldiers with suppHes in the
war of 1812. His wife preceded him to the grave
about 16 years, and for the last 8 years of his life
he was confined to his bed by rheumatism from
which he had suffered much in previous years.
He left to survive him three sons and three daugh-
ters, Daniel, Henry, Chandler, Mrs Lydia Kinne,
Mrs. Jerusha A. Harper, Mrs. Caroline Redfield.
He was interred in Bear Ridge Cemetery.

310. Amasa^, born 29 September, 1826, died
17 November, 1892.

Stephen^ Tripp was a prominent citizen of
Providence, Pa. He was interested with his
father in erecting the first mill on Leggetts
Creek. He also was the owner of a still house
and carried on the important and at that time
respectable industry of making whiskey. His
house was the first to be opened as a place of
public entertainment in the early settlement of
Providence.

His farms, comprising lot 33, and parts of lots
19, 20 and 23, included some of the most valuable
portions of the present city of Scranton. ^

In 1813 the first town meeting was held at the
house of Stephen Tripp 3. Providence then in-
cluded the territory embraced in Lackawanna,
Covington, Jefferson, Blakely, Greenfield, Scott,
and Scranton. This large territory polled 82

tioii and possessed of more than the avei-a^e

Mr. Tripp learned the machinist trade at the

trical engineering, and was employed for a time

ington avenue, Scranton. He became assistant

Light Co., where he remained until he received
the appointment of superintendent of the Elec-
tric Light Co. of Colorado Springs, which posi-
tion he now holds. It was while he was in
Cleveland, Ohio, that his younger brother,

Ira'7 Tripp (of Isaac®), married 20 February,

89

1838, Rosanna Shoemaker, daughter of Jacob I.
Shoemaker, of Wyommg, Pa. She was born
26 September, 1817, and died 29 April, 1899. Ira
Tripp died 3 August, 1891. Like most of the
Tripp family for many generations, he was a
farmer by occupation. He inherited one of the
best farms in the Lackawanna valley, rich in
fertility as to the surface, and vastly more rich
by reason of the veins of "black diamonds," or
anthracite coal, which underlie the whole extent
of his possessions. He was the last of his name
to retain a portion of the land which his grand-
father and great-grandfather had acquired when
the valley was first settled by the hardy and
venturesome pioneers from the Eastern states.
He left no son to survive him, and the old Tripp
home, which for generations had been the centre
of boundless hospitality and good cheer, has now
passed into the hands of strangers.

Ira Tripp for many years was a conspicuous
figure in the history of Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties. His extremely heavy and long white
beard, in later life, was a feature that attracted
attention wherever he appeared. His jovial dis-
position and hearty manner made him hosts of
friends in all directions, and probably no man in
Lackawanna county had more or stronger friends.
In early life he was appointed an aide-de-camp on
the staff of Gov. Pollock, with the rank of Lieut.
Colonel, which gave him his military title of
Colonel. In 1861 he enlisted as a private in the
Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment, and served nine
months as hospital steward. He was captured
by the enemy, but his good nature and easy

90

^0^^^ qlX-^^^A>

I

manner ensured him kind treatment and an fail y
exchange. He died 3 August, 1801, leaving a
large estate to his widow and two grandchildren,
children of his deceased son Leander.

The following is a record of his family:

490. Isaac® C, born 28 March, 1839, died
11 October, 1882.

491. LeanderS S., born 27 February, 1841,
died 22 June, 1876.

493. William® R., born 20 January, 184G,
died 12 September, 1847.

493. Gertrude®, born 18 January, 1848, died
3 May, 1874.

(491)

Leander® S. Tripp (of Ira'^), married Jennie
Pierce, daughter of William Pierce, of Provi-
dence, Pa.

Their children were:

494. Walter® Sherman, born 6 February,
1865, died 17 June, 1901.

495. KatherineS q^ born 21 April, 1869.

( 494 )

Walter® S. Tripp (of Leander®), married

(495)

498. IraIO Tripp, born 27 July, 1896.

499. John 10 Franklyn, born 24 July, 1901.

(493)

Gertrude s Tripp (of Ira"^) born 18 January,
1848, died 3 May, 1874, unmarried. She was
small in stature, bright and vivacious in man-
ner, and overflowing with good nature and
generous impulses. She was the pet of the
household and loved and admired by a wide cir-
cle of acquaintances. Her death, occurring in
the flush of young womanhood, surrounded by
all the attractions and luxuries that wealth and
affection could bestow, cast a gloom, not only
over the immediate family and relatives, but
wherever she was known. The name of Gertie
Tripp brings back, after nearly thirty years, the
recollection of the bright, attractive image of the
cousin who always had a smile and pleasant
word of greeting for all without regard to wealth
or position, whom no flattery or attention could
spoil, but who remained the kind, generous and
lovable girl until the last sad day when the angel
of death bore her spirit away to her heavenly
home above.

Mahala"^ Tripp (of Isaac®), married October,

of Providence, Pa. He was born 16 Anpnst,

498^. IsAAC^ Henry, born 25 July, 1839, died
2 March, 1871.

499^. HoLDEN® A., born 7 July, 18il, died 17

(466)

Isaac'' Tripp (of Isaac®), married (1) 17 Feb-
ruary, 1840, by Kev. E. H. Snowden, Margaret
Shoemaker, daughter of Jacob Shoemaker, of
Wyoming, Pa. She was born 30 May, 1822, and
died 23 November, 1856. Married (2) 28 Decem-
ber, 1861, by Rev, William Frear, Hannah
Rogers, who was born 16 February, 1834.

Mr. Tripp, like most of his family, was a
farmer by occupation. He settled in Kingston,
Pa., in 1854, on the place late the property of
Frank Helme. In 1859 he purchased the "Ab-
bott farm" at Forty Fort, Pa., comprising 138
acres. This farm, under Mr. Tripp's skillful
management, became one of the most produc-
tive ones in the far-famed Wyoming Valley.
For some years tobacco was a staple crop, and
extensive sheds were built for the curing and
preparing of the product for market. He was a
lover of fine cattle, and was quite an extensive
dairyman. At one time he raised a cow that was
the wonder of the community for size. It
weighed over 2,000 pounds. Though this farm
was rich and productive in an agricultural point

93

of view, its fertility was but a small element of
its value. The settlement of old Kingston has
grown beyond its original bounds and now has
extended past Dorranceton to Forty Fort, bring-
ing the Tripp farm into market for building pur-
poses. But the greatest value lies under the
surface in the shape of the best veins of anthra-
cite coal to be found in the coal region. These
are now under lease to a mining company, and
bring a revenue that would have astonished
the early Connecticut settlers, who had no com-
prehension of the underground wealth when
they fought Indians and white men for the pos-
session of this beautiful valley.

The family of Mr. Tripp was as follows :
By the 1st wife he had :

Martha® Tripp (of Isaac^), maniiHl Klisha
Miller. We have some knowledge of the an<!eH-
try of this relative. His grandfather, Alexander
Miller, came from Ireland when eleven years of
age, but was raised as a Yankee in Windham
County, Conn. He became a Presbyterian
clergyman, and later a Congregationalist. He
was an eminent scholar and dignified i)ivacher.
Elisha's father was also named Alexander, a
man of more than ordinary talents, with refined
manners and a good education. He was of the
Universalist faith. His home was in the town
of Voluntown, Windham County, Coim. He
married Mercy Hall, who was raised in the same
neighborhood. She was a Baptist in religious
belief, and a member- of a church some miles dis-
tant in Rhode Island.

When Elisha was about four years of age his
father removed to Plainfield, Conn., in the same
county. He had a family of six children, five
boys and one girl. I have learned tlie names of
only three of the children. John, the oldest of
the family, became an eminent Baptist preacher,
the pioneer minister in the northern part of
Luzerne County, Pa., settling in Abington in
February, 1802, when the county was almost a
wilderness. He preached till his death, whicii
occurred 19 February, 1857. Another son was
Anthony Miller, who settled in Michigan, near
Lake Huron. Ehsha Miller was born 30 August,
1785, and died 2 August, 1842. He settled in
Genessee County, N. Y., and was a substantial

103

farmer, residing near Byron Center, N. Y. He

I ID

Henry^ Dow Tripp.

(6)

The family of Tripps in Luzerne and Lacka-
wanna counties have lost all trace of this relative
and his descendants, if any there were. He
probably left the valley prior to 1800. For some
reason he had made himself obnoxious to the
Connecticut Company, which controlled the set-
tlement at Wyoming. In the possession of the
Wyoming Historical and Geological Society at
Wilkes-Barre is a manuscript copy of some of the
minutes and proceedings of the Connecticut Sus-
quehanna Company. On page 24: of this coi)y
appears this resolution: "That Dow Trij)]) be
excluded from the number of said forty, and any
right in the Township."

The Recorder's office at Wilkes-Barre contains
the record of a deed dated 6 September, 17i»4,
from Isaac D. Tripp, of New York City, to Henry
D. Tripp, of the same place, and recites the pay-
ment of 250 pounds by "my father, Henry Dow
Tripp." This would indicate tbat father and son
were then residents of New York City. The land
conveyed was lot 15 at Providence.

Ill

NOTE I.

On page 10 we have noticed the fact that a Sam-
uel Tripp, son of Isaac, of Exeter, lived in Rhode
Island, who may have been a brother of Isaac^,
of Providence, Pa. This Samuel Tripp married
Catherine Jenckes, daughter of Benjamin Jenckes.

Their children were :

Sarah, born at Tiverton, R. I., 8 August, 1Y60.

Abigail, born at Warwick, R. I., 10 July, 1762.

Ruth, born at Warwick, R. I., 16 April, 1764.

Martha, born at E. Greenwich, 21 March,
1766, died 1 April, 1766.

Benjamin Jenckes, born at E, Greenwich, 19
June, 1768, died 27 February, 1769.

Catherine, born at E. Greenwich, 25 August,

1772.

Catherine Jenckes was born 6 September, 1741,
and died 30 July, 1793. Samuel Tripp, her hus-
band, died 10 June, 1798.

The prevalence of similar names in the two
families adds strength to the o inion that Samuel
and Isaac^ were brothers. I surmise that Ruth,
daughter of Samuel, was named for her Aunt
Ruth, who married Jonathan Slocum ; Martha,
daughter of Samuel, named for her aunt Martha,
wife of Isaac^; Catherine (the writer's grand-
mother), daughter of Isaac^, named for her aunt
Catherine, wife of Samuel. This conjecture may
be false, but it seems quite plausable.
