    Notes:

    Job was "of North Kingstown." Job's first wife (name unknown) was the mother of some or all of his children. His will, written when he was "well stricken in years" (no date) mentions his wife Elizabeth and the following children: Job, Isaac, William, Benoni, Abiel, Mehitabel (Thomas), Ann (Moon), Mary (Dawley), Phebe (Rice), Abigail (Greene), & Deborah (Spink); also, grandson Isaac son of Isaac.

    Job Tripp was made a citizen of Newport in 1726. He was a deputy at the General Assembly from North Kingstown from 1734 to 1738.

    Job married Unknown Wife Abt 1700. Unknown was born Abt 1680. [Group Sheet]


  4. 7.  Unknown Wife was born Abt 1680.

    Notes:

    Elizabeth, widow of John Sweet, was probably Job's second wife. She is mentioned as "mother-in-law" (stepmother) in the will of Job, Jr.

    It has been speculated that Job's first wife was named Mehitable, as that is the name of the first daughter. Also, Job Tripp, Jr. named his first daughter Mehitable. However, Job Sr. did have a sister named Mehitable, so it is possible that this is why the name has been passed down in the family.

    1. Job Tripp, Jr. was born 20 Apr 1701, Exeter, RI; died Abt Apr 1782, Exeter, RI.
    2. Mehitabel Tripp was born Abt 1703.

    The following notes are from Norma Roberts:

    Cherry Fletcher Bamberg has done extensive work on John Rice and his life. See her work for more info.

    The name John Rice ("John Riss") shows up in Warwick records for the first time on 13 Jan 1661, when he joined Edmund Calverly and Randall Holden in witnessing an indenture. John O. Austin, who published a biographical sketch of John Rice, says he came from old England with Mr. (Edmund) Calverly.

    No source has identified John's parents but he was very close to Edmund Calverly, and given the difference in their ages (Calverly was born in 1613), it can be assumed that John may have been an apprentice of Calverly's or some kind of relative back in England. Calverly made a deed of gift to John and Elizabeth Rice on 18 Nov 1676 "in consideration of the Love and affection which I have," but mentions no relationship. Calverly also made a second, also unexplained, deed of gift 23 Jan 1677/78 to John Rice alone.

    No proof of when his wife Elizabeth died or whether he remarried, or no birth records of his children's births can be found in Warwick records. He had two sons to whom he made deeds of gift, but it is possible he may have had one or more daughters (unknown at this time). Elizabeth may have died young and John never remarried and this could explain why only two children are found for John and Elizabeth.

    John married Elizabeth Holden 16 Jul 1674, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Elizabeth (daughter of Randall HOLDEN and Frances DUNGAN) was born Aug 1652, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]
