    • Henry Trippe was a Captain in the Dorchester County Militia. From "The Colonial Families of the United States: The Trippes lived in Kent County England, as far back as the Norman Conquest. The name is found in the Dooms Day Book in the title of lands. A.D. 1234, Nicholas Tryppe gave Lamplands, County Kent, to Elham Church. The first record we have of the family in maryland is in 1663, when Lieutenant Colonel Henry Trippe ( b. Canterbury, England, 1633; d. in Dorchester County, Maryland March 1698; who had fought in Flanders under the Prince of Orange, afterwards William III. of England), brought with him to the Province three of his troopers and took up land in Dorchester County; Representative in Maryland Assembly, 1671-7575, 1681-82, 1692-93- one of the Committee of Twenty for regulating affairs in Maryland, 1690; Justice and County Commissioner, 1669-81, 1685-94- Captain of Foot, 1676; Major of Horse, 1689; his brother, Thomas Trippe, is mentioned by James, Duke of York, afterwards James II., in his autobiography (Nairn papers) as aiding him to escape from St. James Palace after the beheading of Charles I. Henry Trippe m. (firstly) in 1665 Frances Brooke, widow of Michael Brooke of St. Leonard's Creek, Calvert County, Maryland; m.
