• Notes

  The following note, regarding Isaac Tripp, appears in the History of the Abington Baptist Association, "This Isaac Tripp was in early life a resident Capouse Meadows in the Lackawanna Valley. In the eighteenth year of his age and soon after the Wyoming massacre, he was taken captive by the Indians and with others marched to Canada. On the way he experienced the most excruciating sufferings from the gnawing's of hunger and cruel treatment of the savages, who bound his hands behind him and compelled him to run the gauntlet. At Niagara he met his cousin, Miss Frances Slocum, who was also a captive from the Wyoming Valley. They planned their escape, but their intentions being discovered by their captors, they were separated and never more to meet again, and young Tripp was sold to the English and compelled to enter their service, in which he reluctantly continued until the close of the Revolutionary War. He now returned to his early home and resumed the peaceful pursuits of the farm. He moved to Scott, Luzurne County and finally settled in the Elkwoods, in Susquehanna County. His wife died in Clifford, May 20th, 1816 aged 67 years. He followed her to the grave April 15th, 1820 aged 60 years. The remains of both now repose in the burying ground near Clifford Corners." Another Version Young Isaac Tripp, and his grandfather, Isaac Tripp the Elder were "taken prisoner by Indians in 1778 with two young men by the name of Keys and Hocksey. Grandpa Isaac was painted and dismissed, but the others were hurried into the forest (now Abington) above Liggetts's Gap, on the warriors' path to Oquago. Resting one night, they rose the next morning traveled about two miles , when they stopped at a little stream of water. Two Indians took Keys and Hocksey some distance from the path and were absent for half an hour, the older Indians looking anxiously the way they had gone. Suddenly the death-whoop was heard and the young Indians returned, brandishing bloody tomahawks and exhibiting the scalps of thibiting the scalps of their victims. Young Isaac Tripp's hat was taken from his head and his scalp examined twice. The savages speaking earnestly, then at length, they told him to fear nothing, he would not be hurt; and carried him off prisoner."
