  • Notes 
    • !1)Per "Doll Index", a William Tripp had a letter awaiting him on 1 Jan 1838 at Saline PO, having arrived Apr 6, 1837. Per Chas Quick. 2) You can see the challenges of his life in the statistics of his family. Ten children and his wife dies leaving him a difficult parenting task. Children aged 2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,17 and 18. What a task! The 1880 census shows his family split apart. Sad. Then, the story of his death, by burning to death in a fire in his house (per death record, PPaw Paw, Mich, now in V23 PLT ARCHIVES--see note 8 for details, below) in 1889, the youngest three orphaned at ages 15, 16, 17. There must be a newspaper account of her death, later his. Oh, so much opportunity in our statistics to fill in with facts from additional sources. A real Michigan Pioneer, James was born in New York, but settled early in Michigan, building much of Covert, giving the land for the cemetery where he is buried, and as I recall, the land for the school. Settlining early in Covert, in the early 1860's. And, I keep forgetting, a civil war veteran. What a lot of information must be in that file in Washington. 3) Three newspaper clippings, typed copies in V18 PLT ARCHIVES, relate reunions of James William Tripp family Thanksgiving 27 Nov 1913, again Thanksgiving 1914, and another in Covert, date not stated. 4)7/89: The original notepaper of births of children of Thomas and Nancy gives 8 Jun not 5 Jun as his birthday. 5)CENSUS, 1880 COVERT: Jamemes 55; Lester 14; Roy 12; Robert 10; Newton 5; Nancy 8. CENSUS, 1870 COVERT: J.W.bNY 46; Emily bNY 29; Effie 12; Lilly 10; Nellie 6; Willie 5; Charlie 4; Lester 3; Rosy 2; Robert 11mo. 6)Tombstone gives 29 Jan 1889 as death date, age 64y7m24d. Van Buren county death records, per PLT ARCHIVES V23, gives 30 Jan 1889 as death date, at Covert; cause: "Burned in House". Sextant record, per PLT ARCHIVES V23, says he was buried 30 Jan 1889. Therefore, I accept 29 Jan as death date; 30 Jan as buriel date. JWT and Emily buried lot 148, Covert Cemetery, per PLT ARCHIVES V23. 7)Perry Tripp reported JWT was a butcher, per PLT ARCHIVES V23. 8)"he was living alone in his home in Covert. . climbed up in his attic to go to bed (and) acaccidentally knocked down his kerosene lamp and set the house afire and he was burned to death. He was 64, blind in one eye and had a lame leg." Perry Tripp, per PLT ARCHIVES V23 9)About 1960-65 brother John Tripp obtained a photo of James Wm in his Civil War Uniform, didn't he? Where is the photo? 10)James W., d. 1/29/1889, age 64 y., 7m., 24 d. (thus born 5 Jun 1824) Source: Letter of 1 Jun 1959 from the Michigan Section of the Michigan State L??, 125 East Shiawassee Street, Lansing, MI citing records of Covert Cemetery, Van Buren County, MI (See PLT Archives, Vol TV19 IM4.)
