Tripp Genealogy * * * * Some of the Descendents of Sylvanus who settled in Kittery, Maine, the latter part of the Seventeenth Century Compiled by Benjamin F. Tripp (#178) Supplemented by Steven D. Tripp (#262) Printed: Foreword In compiling genealogy the old records which it is necessary to consult are, in many cases, incomplete or illegible. In other cases they have, in whole or in part, been lost or destroyed by fire. Histories of the same places by different authors are sometimes contradictory. The only records that are almost invariably correct are gravestones and family bibles. It is therefore necessary to co-ordinate births, marriages, deaths and other events to supply missing links in the line; but, like circumstantial evidence in cases at law, this method of procedure is not infallible. The Compiler This version of the Tripp Genealogy is based upon the original genealogy compiled in the 1930's by Benjamin F. Tripp. I have tried to reproduce the original as nearly as possible with few changes. One change I have made is to include all last names. Additionally, I have added all known descendents born after the completion of the original genealogy. An informal attempt to trace likely descendents in eastern Massachusetts phone books yielded no results. The Somerville branch (Ezra #164) has apparently disappeared. Although the name Tripp is English, a check of phone books from Denmark and Germany produced several instances of the name Tripp. There was a Dutch general named Hendrik Tripp (b. 1779). No Tripps were found in Swedish, Norwegian, or French phone books, but names similar to Tripp (Trippi, Trippa, etc.) were found in Spain and Italy. In addition to Paschal (#86) who was killed at Gettysburg (there is no record of this at the battlefield), there was a Confederate officer, Andrew Cross Tripp, who was wounded in the same battle. Andrew apparently is not a descendent of Sylvanus, but it should be noted that several lines of the family (#4, 10, 12, 14, 17, 30, 32, 45, 47, and 48) are untraced. There was also a John Tripp, relation unknown, but possibly #38, who served on the ships, "United States", and "Experiment" between 1799 and 1801. A sloop- of-war and a destroyer were named after him. Henry Tripp, relation to Sylvanus unknown, (d. 1612-four years before Shakespeare) was an author and translator. He received his M.A. from Pembroke Hall, Cambridge in 1571 and became Rector of St. Faith's in London. The text was entered with Microsoft Word on a Macintosh computer.

Motto: "Ready and true" Coat of arms Map of Old Kittery, Maine Map of Modern Kittery, Maine Sylvanus Tripe, born about 1662 [perhaps 1660 in Portsmouth, RI], settled in Kittery about 1690. He married Margaret, daughter of William and Joan Diamond. Some sources say Margaret was born in Portsmouth, also. Sylvanus was (possibly) the son of John Tripp of Portsmouth, RI. John was born in 1610 in Horkstow (near Barton-on-Humber) England to John and Isabel [Moses, Elizabeth Moyses] Tripp and came to the New World as an indentured servant. John married Mary Paine [dau. of Anthony] and they had eleven children, Sylvanus being the youngest. All of John and Mary's children lived to adulthood, married and had children, it appears, so by 1700 there were about 100 descendents. A rough mathematical estimate suggests that there are at least 10-20 million descendents living now, maybe more. [SDT 1997] [Most researchers now believe that the above is very unlikely. Sylvanus was probably the son or grandson of Gabriel Tripe of Totnes, Devonshire, who immigrated to Kittery before 1650. The Diamonds were probably also from Devonshire. SDT 2006 http://www.webrarian.co.uk/devon/surname01.html] John Diamond, shipbuilder and ropemaker, purchased a tract of land located between the lot of Richard Cutt and that of Thomas Withers, 15 June 1661. He died before 1667 and left 10 acres, next to Robert Cutt, to his son William. He died the next year and his widow married Edward Carter. He died and she married James Blagdon. In 1691 Joan Carter sold to her son John Diamond 28 acres on Crooked Lane, 10 of which she had bought of Dennis Downing, it having been granted to him by the town. Probably John Diamond soon died, as the land was again in possession of his mother in 1702. She was Joan Blagdon, and she and her son-in-law, Richard Tucker and his wife Grace, sold the aforesaid 10 acres to Sylvanus Tripe who had married her daughter Margaret by her first husband, William Diamond. Here, then, on Tripe's Point, lived the progenitor of the Tripp (see note below ) family in Maine. His will, dated 29 Dec. 1714 and probated 10 May 1716, gave to the town's people a right of way to the "Point" which was used as a public landing for more than one hundred and fifty years. About the middle of the nineteenth century the United States Government took over a part of the property for the railroad and road to the Navy Yard. Margaret, dau. of William Diamond, and her brother John were probably b. about 1673 and 1675. As her father, William Diamond, did not die until 1678 it is quite probable that there were other children of which there is no record. Margaret died in January 1741. 1 Sylvanus Tripp + Margaret Diamond about 1698 and they had 8 children, all born in Kittery Maine. *2 Sylvanus, b. about 1700, d. before 1741. *3 Samuel, b. 13 Apr. 1704, d. 1741. 4 Thomas, b. 12 May 1706. *5 Mary, b. 2 Apr. 1708. *6 Robert, b. 4 Sept. 1710. 7 Margaret, b. -------- 8 Joanna, [also written Hannah] b. -------- 9 William, b. -------- 2 Sylvanus Tripp (Sylvanus) + 25 June 1724, Lucy, widow of Samuel Briand and daughter of Peter Lewis of Kittery.

Evidently, Robert owned a large house on Government Street and before he died gave an endowment to found a school, now known as Traip's Academy. 18 Sylvanus Tripp (Robert-Sylvanus) in list of prisoners sent on the "Silver Eel" from Halifax to Boston 8 Oct 1778 for exchange.

Discovered by Kathryn Fuller, 1989] Kathy Fuller reports that the graves of the above are in the Orchard Grove Cemetery in Kittery. 24 Benjamin Tripp (Robert-Sylvanus) came to Coxhall in 1766 or 1767. On the 6 Dec. 1769 he bought 50 acres of land, located on the Mousam road on the North side of the East branch of the Mousam River, from Samuel Baker and John Low. (This land was then a part of Coxhall. Later it was a part of Sanford and still later it was, and still is a part of Alfred). Here, his children were born. About 1776 he, together with Seth Peabody, ----- Ellenwood, Thomas Kimball, Charles and John White, built a double saw- mill (later called Conant's mill) on the East branch just above the present Mills, locally known as Littlefield's Mills. The White brothers owned one half and the other four, the other half. The product of the mill, after supplying the local needs, was shipped to Kennebunkport Landing, which was then quite a shipbuilding center. He was an officer in the Revolution as shown by the following quotation from "History of Sanford" by Edwin Emery. The news of the battle of Lexington reached Lebanon on the morning of the 20th of April 1775 at 4 o'clock and not many hours later aroused the inhabitants of Sanford. The 'Minute Men' had watched with intense interest the progress of events and were then, at a minute's warning, called upon to shoulder their muskets and leave their firesides and friends. The Lebanon company was sent off on the 21st and, without doubt, the Sanford company did not long delay marching. However that may have been, it is evident that thirty-eight men marched sixty miles and did three days service prior to April 28th at which date their muster-roll was made out. The following are the names of those who "Marched on the Alarum upon Lexington Battle" Captain Morgan Lewis Lieutenant Benjamin Tripe Ensign Nathaniel Bennet Sergeants Andrew Burley Jeddiah Peabody Samuel Jalison Corporals Paul Giles Henery Hambleton Privates John Adams, John Barrons, Isreal Hibbard, Jonathan Adams, Moses Pette, Samuel Harmon, Sampson Johnson, Henery Nutter, Abraham Barrons, Josiah Harmon, John Cram, Josiah Batchelder, William Tripe, Henery Tibbetts, Ephraim Giles, Isaac Coffin, Daniel Lary, Thomas Kimble, Timothy Silver, Joseph Thompson, Benjamin Lord, Joseph Giles, Benjamin Norton, Joshua Taylor, Eliflit Tayler, Jonathan Low, Jonathan Boston, Steven Hatch, Phinias Thompson, and Seth Peabody. In 1780 Benjamin Tripp, Jonathan Tibbetts and John Steven were the "Committee of Safety". He lived on his farm, which now extended from the mill to the farm of Amos Grandy (The Grandy house is still standing), until the 6 Jan. 1796 when he sold it with house, store and two barns to Nathaniel Conant and moved to Coxhall (later called Lyman). From this time on the mill was called Conant's Mill. On 18 Mar. 1788 he bought Lot #31, first division, in Coxhall from John Kilham. On 18 Sept. 1792 Lot #11 from Thomas Low. On 5 Dec. 1794 Lot #32 from John Low. These lots joined each other and it is quite likely that he cleared a part of the land to get logs for his mill and may have put up the farm buildings before he sold the Alfred farm to Nathaniel Conant. All that is left of the buildings is a depression in the ground, which was probably the cellar, and a lot of split granite foundation stones. The family graveyard, surrounded by a split granite wall lies about 200 feet East. He mar. Eunice Wakefield of dau. of Samuel and Ruth (Godfrey) Wakefield in Wells, Me., 26 Feb. 1767.

[SDT 2006: from Larissa Reutgen] 34 Benjamin Tripp (Benjamin-Robert-Sylvanus). On the 11 Feb. 1795 he bought 75 acres of land from Ebenezer Roberts and on the 17 Nov. 1795 he bought 5 acres from Ebenezer Hall. His farm joined that of Archibald Smith, Jr., who married his sister Betsey, and was located in Alfred on the West side of Massebesic pond. On the 26 July 1803 he sold his farm to Joseph Roberts and moved to Prospect, Hancock Co., Me. In 1805 he got judgment against the said Roberts who, evidently, could not pay for the farm and it again came into his possession. In 1806 he sold it again to John and Daniel Holmes of Alfred. The record of the deed shows that he still was a resident of Prospect, Me. The York County Record of Deeds does not show that he bought another farm in York County. His father-in-law may have died or become incapacitated and perhaps he moved onto his wife's homestead, as his children, when they married or bought property, appear as residents of Berwick or an adjacent town.

In 1802 his father deeded to him one half of his home farm in Lyman, containing 100 acres with house barn and out-buildings. Evidently the two families lived together although he still followed the sea. The records show he commanded the brig "Concord" in 1812. 40 Abigail Tripp (Benjamin-Robert-Sylvanus) + Samuel Davis in 1797. 41 Hannah Tripp (Benjamin-Robert-Sylvanus) + Abraham Perkins in 1800. 42 Eunice Tripp (Benjamin-Robert-Sylvanus) + Luther Kimball in 1801. 43 Theodore Tripp (Benjamin-Robert-Sylvanus) + Abigail Knight in 1815 both of Lyman.

He moved West. He had a law practice in Yankton, SD. He previously appears to have lived in Sioux City, Iowa. He may have had several children, because there was circuit court judge, R. B. Tripp, in Yankton in 1910. Also, Judge Bartlett Tripp was met in Salt Lake City in 1899 by his nephew, Dr. Tripp, and his nieces, Mrs. S. F. Fenton, and Mrs. (Dr.) Howard. [SDT 1991] *152a Flora., b. ____, d. ____.[SDT 1991] 82. Sarah E. Gilman (William-William-Robert-Sylvanus) was still alive in 1910 and was living with her son, J. H. Gilman, in Pittsfield, Me. At that time two of her brothers and two of her sisters were still alive, including Bartlett. [SDT 1991] 87 Bartlett Tripp (William-William-Robert-Sylvanus) Married Ellen M. Jennings in Garland Me., in 1863. She died in 1884. Married Janet (Davis) Washburn on Nov 6, 1887. Janet's brother was a Senator from Minnesota and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Janet was descended from Mary Allerton, a Mayflower passenger. Bartlett taught school in Maine and Salt Lake City. He was a classmate of William McKinley at Albany Law School, graduating in 1867. In 1883, he was elected president of the first Dakota Territorial constitutional convention. He was Chief Justice of the territory of Dakota, Minister to Austria-Hungary under President Cleveland's second administration and, in 1899, served as chairman the Samoan Joint Commission, which was charged with negotiating an end to an armed dispute over who should be king. Upon successful completion of this mission, Bartlett strongly recommended to Secretary of State Hay that the USA retain the island of Tutuila and the excellent harbor at Pago-Pago. Hay took this advice and thus Tutuila and some other minor islands became American Samoa. In 1900 he was the leading candidate for the Republican vice presidential nomination under McKinley. When the reluctant Theodore Roosevelt, who previously had supported Tripp, was persuaded to enter the race, Bartlett immediately withdrew. Since McKinley was assassinated, Bartlett came very close to being president of the USA. Because Bartlett had no surviving children, his house and papers were left to Yankton College in Yankton, SD. The college fell on hard times and went bankrupt in the 1960s. His house, in disrepair, burnt down at that time. The college is now a prison. Some of his papers, slides of Samoa, and furniture from his house are in the Yankton Dakota Territorial Museum. There is a poorly maintained Tripp Park in Yankton, on land given by Bartlett. There is a town of Tripp and a county named Tripp in South Dakota, both named after Bartlett Tripp. [SDT 1991] 88 Susan Flanagan (William-William-Robert-Sylvanus) died in Sioux Falls, SD, around 1900.

No, the changes are on what I sent to you and Dale directly last December. William Allyn S/B William Allan, and born in 1963. Thomas and Constance married in 1962 not 1963, Richard Thomas born in 1967 not 1968. *275f Barbara Lea s/b Barbara Leigh Note ΡΡΡ In looking up the data for this work I (Benjamin Tripp) have found the family surname spelled five different ways - Trip, Tripe, Traip, Tripp, and Trippe. In one deed the recorder used one spelling, the grantee another and the grantor still another. In the official Massachusetts Revolutionary Records the name Trip occurs 20 times, Tripe 7 times, Traip none, Tripp 41 times, and Trippe none. The name has been spelled Tripp for 150 years, and I have used this spelling except where quotations from old records occur. Note---In 1861 the Alfred town-house was destroyed by fire and the old vital records, which were far from complete, were lost. Due to this loss, many of the birth and marriage dates can only be approximated. Note: The William F. and Frederick G. lines are the only ones currently known. Note: The numbering of children from this point on is subject to change as more births are added.
