• Notes

  George L. Randall has written that he saw a document which appeared to be a copy of John's own statement about his origins: " viz., I John Tripp, b. Northumberland Co., Eng., Son of John and Isabel (Moses) of Lincolnshire: b. 1610; was apprenticed to the house carpentry trade, and with his Master, Randall Holden, came to Newport or Portsmouth, in 1630; after completing his time he married Mary Paine, dau. of Anthony, and had 11 children -- the paper ends by naming the first child." Mr. Randall does not disclose the whereabouts of this important document, nor does he explain the reason for its change from first to third person. He emigrated in 1635 from Canterbury area of co. Kent, England. (2) Another source finds the family roots here and that John Tripp came on the same ship as William Hall and that his name appears in 1638 on the Aquidneck Group Covenant with the heads of eleven other families with whom the Tripps were to intermarry. He participated in a Special Event occurred when he signed the Compact of Portsmouth with twenty-eight others. on 30 Apr 1639 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.(3) He participated in a Special Event occured when he signed a covenant for human love and liberty in Dec 1647 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.(4) He died in 1677/78 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He was also known as Tripp, Trip and Trippe..(5) Nowadays the final "e" has been largely dropped and the name is almost entirely always spelled with a double "p". Most of the New England Tripps appear to be descended from John Tripp, an immigrant to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, many of whose descendants professed the Quaker faith. He was married to Mary TRIPP (PAINE) (daughter of Anthony PAINE and Unknown first wife PAINE) about 1639 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. (6) The will of Anthony Paine, dated May 6, 1649 and proved the following year makes specific reference to his daughter Mary Tripp.
