Biography

father Isaac Tripp (1702-1778)^[1]

One genealogist, Dean, is cautious:

"We also find in the Rhode Island records an account of a Samuel Tripp, son of Isaac Tripp, of Exeter, born 19 April, 1735, and died 10 June, 1798. His age would make him contemporary with the children of our Isaac4 Tripp, but as we have no proof or tradition that he was of the same family, we have not included him in the list of our Isaac's children."^[2]

Another genealogist, Blair, states:

"Samuel Tripp, son of Isaac and (probably) Sarah (Sweet) Tripp, was born March 19, 1735, and died June 10. 1798. He is described in the Narragansett Friends' record as of Exeter and a son of Isaac, and it is also recorded in those records that he was buried in the Ropewalk lot. His wife (probably second), Desire Tallman. born July 1, 1756. died Aug. 8. 1809. and is buried in the Friends' Yard at East Greenwich. According to the Tiverton, R I., records, Samuel Tripp of Pomfret, Conn., was married, at Tiverton. May 14, 1760. by Samuel Hicks, Justice, to Catharine, born about 1742, died July 30, 1793, daughter of Benjamin Jenckes, and their children were:
1. Sarah, born Tiverton, Aug. 8, 1760 ;
2, Abigail, born Warwick, July 10, 1762;
3. Ruth, born Warwick, April 16, 1764;
4. Martha, born East Greenwich, March 21, 1766, died April 1, 1766;
5. Benjamin Jenckes, born East Greenwich, June 19, 1768, died Feb. 27, 1769;

Samuel Tripp was appointed Justice of the Peace in East Greenwich, R. I., in June, 1786, and May, 1787. Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Catharine (Jenckes) Tripp was married, by Elder John Gorton, Sept. 21, 1780, to Levi Peckham. Ruth, daughter of Samuel and Catharine (Jenckes) Tripp, was married, by the same clergyman, Dec. 9, 1785, to Isaac Peckham. Both married at Greenwich."^[3]
