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.
