Descendants of Nicholas TRIPP

Descendants of Nicholas TRIPP - 15 Jun 1998

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIRST GENERATION

1. Nicholas TRIPP was born before 1722. He died in 1791 in SC. Nicholas Tripp first shows up in Orange Co., NC about 1753. There have been many attempts to determine the parentage and lineage of Nicholas. Within this site is some of the history of this area, some of the possible ancestral family options, and finally what we currently know about Nicholas Tripp of Orange Co., NC.

History of Orange Co., NC

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/orange/tax/oran_tax.txt

Orange Co., North Carolina was created in 1752 from the larger Bladen, Granville and Johnston counties. Later in 1777 Caswell Co. was created from the "Northern Division" of Orange Co. Later in 1791, Pearson Co. was created from the "Eastern" half of Caswell Co. and in 1840 Alamance Co. was created from the "Western" half of Orange Co. Also part of Durham Co. was created in 1881 from the "Eastern" portion of Orange Co.

Tripp Men in the South

The following male Tripps were in the south prior to Nicholas buying land after 1753. It may be clear that some of these lines are not ancestors of Nicholas Tripp, but I believe that it may be helpful to know which Tripp lines were in the south at the time of Nicholas's arrival to help prevent any unnecessary confusion.

Immigration:

According to Passengers and Immigration List Index, 1st ed., Vol. 3 O-Z, 1981, Gale Research Co., Book Tower, Detroit, MI 48226; page 2120:

Tripp, Edw, in VA in 1649

Tripp, John, in VA in 1663-1679

Trip, Tho, in GA in 1733/34

Tripp, John, from Hertford Prison on June 4, 1740 to MD or VA on the ship Essex with Abromse Cock as Captain, with 50 other persons. PRO Ref No: T53/40, p. 250

Migration:

Rhode Island to North Carolina

There is this DAR listing:

Robert Tripp, b 1722, d 1800 m Grace Caw PS NC

I believe that this Robert (Robert, James, John) came from the RI Tripp family and his wife's maiden name is actually Daw. Robert and some of his descendants appear to have been with him in NC. See descendants of John Tripp of RI for more info on Robert's line. It is not currently thought that Nicholas is a descendant of Robert Tripp.

Maryland to North Carolina:

The first record we have of the Trippe family in Maryland is in 1663 of a Lieutenant Colonel Henry Trippe. Some of Henry's descendants migrated to NC. Henry was born in Canterbury, England in1632 and died in Dorchester County, Maryland in March of 1698. Henry had fought in Flanders under the Prince of Orange, who was afterwards King William III, of England. He brought with him to the Province three of his troopers and took up land in Dorchester County, MD. Henry came with four of his sons, John, William, Henry Jr. and Edward. When Henry Trippe came to Maryland he owned a piece of land and called it "The Tripelow Forrest".

Henry was Representative in Maryland Assembly in 1671-75, 1681-82, 1692-93; and was one of the Committee of Twenty for regulating affairs in Maryland in 1690; a Justice and County Commissioner in 1669-81, 1685-94; a Captain of foot in 1676; a Major of Horse in 1689. Henry's brother, Thomas Trippe, was mentioned by James, Duke of York,

afterwards King James II., in his autobiography (Naim Papers) as aiding him to escape from St. James Palace after the beheading of Charles I. Henry Trippe married Frances Brooke, widow of Michael Brooke of St. Leonard's Creek, Calvert County, Maryland and married second an Elizabeth, who survived him.

Henry Trippe's, son John Trippe, ended up in North Carolina as early as 1712. This caused some early confusion in North Carolina since John Trippe went by the name of Trip and Tripp instead of Trippe. He had four sons, Henry, John, William and Neville. These four boys start out as Tripp, but over time changed the spelling of each of their names to Trippe. This change coincided exactly with the arrival of Robert Tripp from Rhode Island. It is thought that John Trippe wanted to be certain that everyone knew that there were two different Tripp families.

Some of the early records of MD Trippe men are found in three wills:

http://www.access.digex.net/~spectre/lecompte/

1. Anthony1 LECOMPTE was born circa 1618 near Callis, Parish of Mackeneere Callis, Province of Picardy. He married Hester Dottante on 11 Jun 1661 at St. Helen's Church, Bishopgate, London, Middlesex, England. He died in 1673. His estate was probated on 25 Oct 1673. He left a will on 9 Sep 1673 at Dorchester County, Maryland; "To eld. son John, all land on other side of the Ck.; also 50 acres bought of William Willoughby / To 3 sons, viz: Moses, Philip, and Anthony, residue of land equally / To daus. Hester and Katherine and NICHOLAS TRIPP, personalty / Execx: Wife Hester / Test: Jacob Seth, John Snookes, Margaret Bryant" as recorded in the Maryland Calendar of Wills, Cotton

and Wright.

7. John3 LECOMPTE Jr. (John2, Anthony1) was born circa 1686 at Dorchester County, Maryland. He married Blanche Powell, daughter of Charles Powell and Clare Gary, circa 1709 at Maryland. He died in 1754. His estate was probated on 15 Mar 1754. He left a will on 17 Jan 1754 at Dorchester County, Maryland; Wit: Edward Noel, John Phips, Mary Nukerwell, JOHN TRIPPE; Phips and Nukerwell say they saw Lecompte sign his will" as recorded in Maryland Calendar of Wills, Cotton and Wright.

4. Anthony2 LECOMPTE Jr. (Anthony1) was born in 1665 at Maryland. He married Margaret Beckwith at Maryland. He died circa 1705. His estate was probated on 6 Jun 1705. Margaret BECKWITH married second John Brannock Sr., son of Edmond Brannock and Jane Roche, after 1705. She left a will on 13 Oct 1751 that read: (Wills 28, 324)... Exs. Joseph Pain and Ann, his wife / Wit: JOHN TRIPPE, Samuel Hubert, Mary Hinkson" as recorded in the Maryland Calendar of Wills, Cotton and Wright. She died in Oct 1751. Her estate was probated on 23 Oct 1751.

From unknown to GA:

The DAR also has this later listing:

John Tripp, b 1756, d 1796, m Sally Unknown PS GA

I have not been able to place this John into any Tripp lineages that I currently have. This John may be connected to the John Trippe who was born about 1740 and died Dec 1794. This John Trippe also married a Salley Unknown. Their daughter, Lily Ann Trippe, born about 1768 in NC, married an Allen Pope of NC. Allen and Lily soon moved to GA as their first child was born in GA. Because of the spelling of Trippe, this John may also be from the MD Trippe line.

Rhode Island to North Carolina:

Herman has Nicholas Tripp attached as a son to Peleg and Mary (Gardner) Tripp with an explanation as to his theory. See Herman's site for more information.

Information about Nicholas Tripp

Nicholas bought 640 acres of land from George Williams of Orange Co., NC. This purchase took place after May 2, 1753 which is when George first purchased the land. (Register of Deeds Office of Orange Co., NC 1752-1768, 1793).

In 1759, Nicholas purchased another 100 acres of or on Cane Creek, Orange Co., NC and this land shows up on the 1779 Tax Rolls.

1779 T610 TRIPP Nicholas N/A N/A N/A Tax Roll

(North Carolina Division of Archives & History, 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh, NC. 2761).

Nicholas was an overseer of roads for Orange Co., NC in 1765.

In 1785 Nicholas was exempt from the Orange Co. Poll Tax.

We find a Nicholas Tripp in the Pendleton District of SC in 1789, we are assuming that in his old age he was with his son William who was living in SC.

The will of Laban Andrews was proven in the May 1842 Term of the Orange Co., NC County Court. Elizabeth Tripp is named as one of the children and Aaron Tripp is identified as a son-in-law.
