• Notes

  References: Randall, Joseph manuscript from the New Bedford Library, BreffniWhelan, Decendant. Joseph was honored for the largest family and is known asthe chief ancestor of Northern America Tripps. Bock: He was possibly the Joseph Tripp appointed in 1697 to make the division of the estate of William Wood of Dartmouth (Wright). (Austin 208; Randall, James Tripp 5-6; Dartmouth VR3:75; 2:509: Wright, Decendant of Philip Taber [1952] 3: MA IGI [m]. JosephTripp was child number 3 of John Tripp the Founder. The following informationis taken from Valentine Research Studio, of Washington, D,C.,written by Caroline Valentine, and published in 1932; Joseph Tripp seems to have ranked nextto Peleg in public service. It was wholly natural for the Founder's sons tobe graduated into the service of their town and later into the General Courtof Tryals. In the year 1671, before Joseph was thirty years old, "John Tripp,Shaft Carpenter", granted to Joseph Tripp, of Dartmouth in the Colloney of Plymouth, one fourth of one whole or integer portion of a Lot belonging to one pubchaser, it being half "of that which...John Tripp bought of John Alden of Duxbury, to holden as of His Majesty, his Manor of East Greenwich." The witnesses were William Hall, Senior and William, Junior. A similar quarter-share deed was made out by John Tripp Senior to son Peleg, with a proviso that, if Peleg should sell, it shall be only to John Senior or his heirs. Evidentlythis was considered choice property. It was on the mainland, and the New England Tripp center has ever since been at this point, now Westport and Fair Haven. Westport Vital Records give literally pages of Tripp marriages, etc. After John Alden became famous, probably it was worth something to be connected with him even in a commercial transaction. But there was, also, an Alden-Trippmarriage early--that on another Joseph Tripp. Still another Joseph married Elizabeth Smith, August 24, 1685. Some of their children settled in Cayuga County, New York. The count courthouse at Auburn has numerous Tripp records, the greater part being of this group. Most of the New York Tripp centers threwoff lines to the west. This was true of this Joseph line also. Joseph probably did more than any of his brothers in peopling the United States. Marryinginto Haviland, Sherman and other good families, his children also gave much added strength to the Tripp lines. Mary began the Waite-Tripp lines, so prolific; the second Abiel beginning a Tripp-Tripp line near 1700, in marrying hiscousin Eleanor, Daughter of Mary Tripp and Thomas Waite. This Tripp line thusbecame intensively "of Abiel" and "of Joseph". Lois Tripp, descending from Peleg and Judge Job of Exeter, brought us the blood of a third son of the Founder, and placed the descendants in northern New York as Waites. After 1800 Joseph's line came into Cayuga County of that state.
