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 print 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, K. 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 
 he is of the 11th generation from John^. He is 
 the son of Alem^^, 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- 
 Ham^ 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 gi-andmother 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 records as he has heen able to 
 gather of this family. The Tripps in this 
 vicinity, as well as many others of the nnme 
 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 trade. His 
 wife was Mary Paine, daughter of Anthony 
 Paine. He was a prominent citizen, filling the 
 office of deputy many terms, also member of the 
 town council. He died in 1078. 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. 
 
 James, born about 1656. 
 
 Martha, born about 1658. 
 
It 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 yeai's, 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 fiist 
 three generations of Tripps does not give the 
 dates of birth of Peleg's children, but their names 
 in the following order : 
 
 John. ^ ' - ' ^ ' 
 
 Priscilla. 
 
 Sarah. 
 
 Job. i^ 
 
 Peleg. 
 
 Mary. 
 
 Ann. 
 
 Merit ABLE. 
 
 Richard. 
 
 Judging from the birth dates of the children 
 of John Tripp, oldest brother of Peleg, we can 
 safely fix the birth of Peleg's first child at about 
 1667, 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 ouf 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, 173J:. 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, 
 1701, 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 Rhode 
 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 
 Peleg^, son of John^. 
 
 Job Tripp was admitted a citizen of Newport 
 
 3 
 
in 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 17572. 
 
 Job Tripp, Jr., was admitted a citizen of Exe- 
 ter in 17573. 
 
 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 defective condition due to fire, ravages 
 of the public enemy and natural decay. Hence 
 it is not strange that many names are lost even 
 if once placed upon the town records. We learn 
 from 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 
 ability and substance will appear from the cir- 
 cumstances herein recorded. An Isaac Tripp, 
 either father or son, was admitted a citizen of 
 Warwick in 17586. 
 
 For some time he resided at Pomfret, Conn., as 
 shown by deeds recorded in Wai-wick, R. I.

Isaac* Tripp, Sr., was one of the early settlers 
 in the Wyoming Valley, and no doubt the occa- 
 sion of his selling his pi'operty 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 
 w^riter's ancestors, Ezra Dean, was appointed as 
 a committee 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 
 convenient 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 valley 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 together shared the dangers 
 and privations of pioneers in a new country sur- 
 rounded 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 the possession of the Pennsyl- 
 vania proprietors, under command of Captain 
 Amos Ogden. Isaac Tripp and Benjamin FoUett 
 of the executive committee, and Vine Elderken, 
 were 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, 17723. 
 
 In 1777 Isaac* Tripp was representative to the 
 Connecticut assembly for Westmoreland, the 
 name of the town comprising the Wyoming val-

ley, which was attached to the county of Litch- 
 field i. 
 
 In a letter of Judge Jesse Fell of Wilkes- 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 3.

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, 1789, John Staples of Wilkes-Bari-e, 
 sells to Isaac Tripp one-half of right No. 7 at 
 Providence, and recites that Staples got it of 
 Captain John Howard, of Windham, Conn., who 
 got it of the proptietors^. 
 
 Isaac* Tripp, 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 
 w^ho 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) Robbins, 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. Robbins tells the writer that from 
 tradition the family of Isaac'* Tripp, Sr. , was the 
 following : By his first wife, who was a Sweety 
 he had a son William^, who was a sailor, and no 
 record of him is preserved. 
 
 He raairied 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 Tiipp. 
 
 Assuming the tradition to be correct we would 
 then have the following as the record of Isaac 
 Tripp's children : 
 
 2. WlT.LIAM^. 
 
 3. Job5. 
 
 4. RUTH^. 
 
 5. Isaacs. 
 
 O. Henry^ Dow. 
 
 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, 
 1798'. 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 
 hving, 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 with the Tripp as in 
 the Dean genealogy, taking up each cliild of 
 Job^fand 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 ( Isaac* Job^, PelegS, 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 nnion, he was born 
 probably not earlier than 1731, nor later than 
 1736. He married 16 May, 1757, Hannah Kice, 
 daughter of William Rice, deceaseds 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 
 
 ^Arnold's Vital Kecoids of Rhode Island, Warwick: volume 
 1, page 121. Curiously, this marriage is also recorded in the 
 East Greenwich Records, and the date given as 30 May, 1757.

tradition related by Mrs. Polly (Tripp) Robbins 
 that Job^ was the oldest hving son of his father, 
 Isaac'^ Tripp. 
 
 Job Tripp, administrator of Isaac ^ Tripp, con- 
 veyed lot No. 12, Providence, to Isaac^ Tripp for 
 865 pounds, 12 August, 1788, and recites: "I, 
 Job Tripp, of Providence, administrator of my 
 father, Isaac Tripp, late of Providence, de- 
 ceased, etc"^. 
 
 Tliis recital in the above-mentioned deed fully 
 confirms the memorandum carefully preserved to 
 this day, which I took when 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 Mrs. Polly Tripp Robbins, Hosea Phillips, 
 Rhode Island vital records, and other sources, I 
 give the list below, but am not sure that it is 
 complete.

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

 Was born in Warwick, Rhode Island, 27 Novem- 
 ber, 1700, He came with his fathei-, 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 two other young 
 men. Keys and Hocksey, were captuied 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 foi-ests 
 of Abington. Near the present village of Clark's 
 Summit, Keys and Hocksey were tomahawked 
 and scalped. Tradition says that when the 
 bloody knives were flourished aiound young 
 Tripp's head he never winced, and on account of 
 his bravery they spared his life. He was carried 
 off with much 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, 181:0.

 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.

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

probably came with his father about 1771. He 
 married Martha Phillips, daughter of Deacon 
 John Phillips, 16 December, 1789. Deacon Phil- 
 lips was then a resident of Pittston. 
 
 On 6 June, 1792, John Phillips deeds^ to his 
 son-in-law, John Tripp, 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 Tripp, 700 acres of land in Exeter town- 
 ship, Luzerne county, Pa. On 10 November. 
 1791:, John deeds^ 300 acres of this land to William 
 Tripp, of Exeter, who, I 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 Luzerne 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 
 reconveysi this land to John Tripp, in his private 
 capacity. 10 May, 1794, John Tripp sells' 210 
 acres of lot 15 to John Staples for 1()0£., 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, 
 tbe 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 carpentei- 
 by trade. His children were :

 William'^ Tripp ( of John® ). I have not been 
 able to get any trace of this Tripp by correspond- 
 ence with other members of John's family. If 
 there was snch a son, it is sti-ange that some of 
 the relatives do not remember of his existence. 
 He may have died young, and so left no family. 
 
 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 largely from the 
 records of Deacon John Phillips, whose daughter, 
 Martha, was John Tripp's wife.

 corded before the division of the county, in Will

 David7 Tripp (of John® ). I have been able to 
 learn little of this son of Jolin Tripp or of his 
 family. In 1838, David and his family, in com- 
 pany with his sister, Mary or Polly Millai-d 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 Ralph, another Zacheus, and there

 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 behoved 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.

Isaac Tripp and Descendants. 
 
 (5) 
 
 We do not know much of the active hfe of 
 this ancestor. His name does not appear so 
 prominently in the history of Luzerne county as 
 does that of his father, Isaac 4. 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 Eix'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 Hkely 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.

 in Luzerne county and moved to Ohio, se tlmg 
 near Steubenville 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

 LoviNA'' Tripp (of William^), married Joseph 
 W Wright of Hocking county, Ohio, in 1828. 
 They had ten children, viz: Albert, Lucmda,

 William? Henry Augustus Tripp (of Will 
 iam6) was born 25 June, 1802, near Marietta, 
 Washmgton county, Ohio. His grandmother 
 Holbert brought him to Athens county, Ohio 
 thence to Nelsonville, and from there to Logan' 
 Hockmg county, Ohio, where he married Nancy 
 A. Roby, who was born 14 May, 1805, in Harrison 
 county, Vn-gmia. She died 9 November, 1894 
 They lived in Hocking county about two years 
 t^ien 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' 
 1 he 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- 
 ary, 1849. He had a family of fourteen children

Amasa Tripp & Descendants. 
 
 Amasa® Tripp (of Isaac^) was born in East 
 Greenwich, R. I., 8 April, 1774. His father, in 
 his migration from R. I., stopped with his family 
 some years at Rhinebeck, N. Y., at least the 
 years from 1778 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 civihzation 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 Httle 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 unanswered, and it was late in the pro- 
 gress of this work before the little I now record 
 
 6o 
 
was elicited. I regret that no better and fuller 
 account can at this time be furnished for the 
 benefit of all who are interested ni obtannng a 
 full and correct family record. The followmg is 
 probably a correct list of Araasa's children, but 
 as birth dates are not given, it is not certain that 
 the order is that of their ages : 
 
 301. Henry 7. 
 
 302. Holden'7. 
 
 303. Isaac "7. 
 
 304. Chandler'^ 
 
 305. Horace '7. 
 
 306. Elizabeth'7. 
 
 307. Caroline'^. 
 
 308. Jerusha'7. 
 
 309. Rachel'7

 Henry7 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 m 
 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, Heniy, Chandler, Mrs Lydia Kinue, 
 Mrs. Jerusha A. Harper, Mrs. Caroline Eedfield! 
 He was interred in Bear Ridge Cemetery. 
 His children were as follows :

 inteUigence, lie acquired a fair education for the 
 time which fitted him to fill with credit the 
 public offices that have fallen to his lot. He has

 for the Blind for twenty-one years under appoint-

 married 1 November, 1867, Jeanette L. Oram, of

 and returned to Scranton and traveled as a sales- 
 man for the Stowers Packing Co. He was com- 
 pelled by ill health to give up business, and 
 recently took up his residence with his only 
 surviving child, George B. Tripp, in Colorado

 16 July, 1870. 
 
 486. George® B., born 18 June, 1871.

 (486) 
 
 George® B. Tripp (of WiUiamS H. H.), mar- 
 ried 2 September, 1896, Katherine Hibbard. She 
 was born in Pittsburg, Pa. 
 
 Mr. Tripp learned the machinist trade at the 
 Finch shops in Scranton. He then studied elec- 
 trical engineering, and was employed for a time 
 at the Suburban Electric Light Plant on Wash- 
 ington avenue, Scranton. He became assistant 
 superintendent of the Cleveland, Ohio, Electric 
 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, 
 Howard, who held a subordinate position in the 
 same company, was accidentally drowned while 
 bathing on 4 July, 1900. George B. Tripp and 
 Katherine have one child: 
 
 489. George lo B. Tripp, Jr., born 1 May,

 (464) 
 
 Ira'7 Tripp (of Isaac®), married 20 February, 
 
 89 
 
1838, Rosanna Shoemaker, daughter of Jacob I. 
 Shoemaker, of Wyoming, 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 underhe 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

manner ensured him kind treatment and an early 
 exchange. He died 3 August, 1891, 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. Isaacs c., horn 28 March, 1839, died 
 11 October, 1882. 
 
 491. LeanderS s,^ born 27 February, 1841, 
 died 22 June, 1876. 
 
 492. William^ R., born 26 January, 1846, 
 died 12 September, 1847. 
 
 493. Gertrude^, born 18 January, 1848, died 
 3 May, 1874.

 LeanderS s Tripp (of Ira''), married Jennie 
 Pierce, daughter of WiUiam Pierce, of Provi- 
 dence, Pa. 
 
 Their children were: 
 
 494. Walter® Sherman, born 6 February, 
 1865, died 17 June, 1901. 
 
 495. Katherine® G., born 21 April, 1869.

 498. Ira 10 Tripp, born 27 July, 1896. 
 
 499. John 10 Franklyn, born 24 July, 1901. 
 
 (493) 
 
 Gertrude^ Tripp (of Ira'7) 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 
 ah 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.

 49 8i. Isaacs Henry, bom 25 July, 1839, died 
 2 March, 1871.

 ISAAC*7 Tripp (of Isaac^), married (1) 17 Feb- 
 ruary, 1840, by Rev. 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 bom 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 hes 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.

 Martha® Tripp (of Isaac^), married Elisha 
 Miller. We have some knowledge of the ances- 
 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 Congregationahst. He 
 was an eminent scholar and dignified preacher. 
 EUsha'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, Conn. He 
 married Mercy Hall, who was raised in the same 
 neighborhood. She was a Baptist in religious 
 behef , 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 the 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., settHng in Abington in 
 February, 1802, when the county was almost a 
 wilderness. He preached till his death, which 
 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 
 married Martha Tripp 3 December, 1809. She 
 was born 6 September, 1781, and died 21 De-

 I ro 
 
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 copy 
 appears this resolution: "That Dow Tripp be 
 excluded from the number of said forty, and any 
 right in the Township." 
 
 The Recorder's office at Wilkes-Barre contams 
 the record of a deed dated 6 September, 1794, 
 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 that father and son 
 were then residents of New York City. The land 
 conveyed was lot 15 at Providence.

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, 1760. 
 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. Greeawich, 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.
