      Notes for John Tripp: John TRIPP was born about 1640. He inherited on 28 Oct 1678 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. (7) the homestead and other Portsmouth holdings from his father. He signed a will on 7 Sep 1716 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. (8) It was created on this date and proven on Dec 14 1719. His eldest son John is named executor and is devised all housing and land at Portsmouth "whereon I now dwell", but is to pay his mother 4 pounds yearly for life and his brother Lot 5 pounds. To his son Benjamin John left a Bible, to his son Othniel the big guest pewter basin at his mother's death, to his son Lot the biggest pewter platter on the same condition, to his daughter Susannna, wife of Thomas Potter, his bell metal skillet, to his daughter Mary Potter his brass kettle. His son John also received the great chest, soit and dripping pan, while his wife Susanna, who in the event did not survive him, was bequeathed the rest of the movables. The estate inventory amounted to 9 pounds s14 in money and personal property. He died on 20 Nov 1719 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. (9) He was married to Susanna TRIPP (ANTHONY) (daughter of John ANTHONY and Susanna ANTHONY (POTTER)) on 7 Sep 1665.(10) Susanna TRIPP (ANTHONY) was born in 1644. She died in 1716.

      [John-Peleg.FTW] John Tripp Junior is my 7th Great Grand Uncle, was honored for being the first born Tripp in this colony, as well as the first born of John Tripp the founder; References: Randall, John manuscript from the New Bedford Library; Briffni Whelan, decendant who specialized on daugthers of John Tripp the founder as well as other daughters not ordinarily followed through a non Tripp name. John Tripp Junior was child number 1 of John Tripp the Founder. Following is information from Valentine Research Studio, of Washington D.C., written by Caroline Valentine, and published in 1932: John, the eldest son of the Founder, sustained the family traditions in his marriage with Susanna Anthony. With James, and Abiel, he had prominent part in peopling New York, as Colony and State, as also the great lands to the west. His father's will gave him most of the Portsmouth holdings, the homestead place. Among the sons of John the Pioneer, young John was naturally held the most important because he was the oldest son; Joseph held first place because he had the largest family; Peleg, perhaps because of his greater public service; James because of his greater wealth; while Abiel perhaps was first in the family thought because he was mourned so early. Each held the others in high regard and rightly so.
