Anne (1) Tibbetts

John married Elizabeth Hazard 7 Jun 1705, East Greenwich, RI. Elizabeth (daughter of William Hall, III and Alice Tripp) was born 2 Oct 1687, Portsmouth, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Elsewhere her name has been given as Elizabeth Hall, but Arnold's VR for NK, Marriages p. 47, give her surname as Hazzard.

Notes:

Information on this family can be found in "The History of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1677-1960, With Related Genealogy" by Martha R. McPartland, p. 269.

Henry Tibbetts, Senior is on a list of taxes under Gov. Andros, dated 6 Sept 1687, assessing estates of the Towne of Rochester in the King's Province.

The will of Henry Tibbets was dated 27 Nov 1708 at North Kingstown. Some portions of it are burned, but as near as can be determined, it mentions the following individuals: his wife Sarah; three sons -- George, John, & Henry (dec'd, leaving widow/d-in-law Reb____); three daughters -- Mary Green w/o Edward, Sarah Hall, & ____ha Stanton w/o Benjamin; three grandsons -- Thomas, Henry, & William; three granddaughters, d/o son Henry -- Rebecah, Avis & Dinah; and one other granddaughter -- Anna Fones, d/o S_____; also mentioned is William Tanner who rec'd land (poss. grandson or son-in-law).

From North Kingstown land evidence: Henry Tibbits deeded, by gift after his decease, land to William Tanner, as given to William Tanner in Henry's last will. Land bounded by George Tibbits, etc. (date lost -- possibly 1710).

Henry married Sarah STANTON Dec 1661, Newport, RI. Sarah (daughter of Robert STANTON and Avis ALMY) was born Abt 1640, Newport, RI; died Aft 27 Nov 1708. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Sarah's father, Robert Stanton, was admitted as a freeman of Newport, RI, in 1639. So, if she was actually born in 1640, it must have been in Newport. If she was born earlier, she may have been born in England.

William married Alice Tripp 16 Jan 1670/71, Portsmouth, RI. Alice (daughter of John TRIPP, I and Mary PAINE) was born Abt 1650. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

William R. Randall identifies his place of birth as Wolverton, Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England. (see wrandall@socal.rr.com)

Robert was admitted as a freeman of Newport on 17 Oct 1639. On 13 Jan 1644 he was chosen sergeant. He was deeded land in Pettaquamscutt on 29 June 1660.

Robert married Avis ALMY 1624. Avis (daughter of Christopher ALMY and Annie CLARKE) was born Abt 1601, England. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The dates of birth and marriage for this couple need to be researched and verified.

William married Mary THOMAS Abt 1638. Mary (daughter of Tristam THOMAS and Elizabeth Unknown) was born Abt 1614; died Abt 1680. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Information on the identity of Mary's parents and William's father and brother came from Janel Woodbury, a descendant [janel_woodbury@yahoo.com]. She also supplied the names of Alice Tripp, who married William b. 1644/45, and their daughter Deliverance. Her reference was an old book called "Representative Old Men and Families of Rhode Island."

Notes:

The will of John Tripp of Portsmouth, carpenter, being 67 years or there about, is dated 6 October 1677 and proved 1 September 1678. It mentions by name his wife Mary; sons Abiell, John, Peleg, Joseph, & James; and daughter Martha; also granddaughter Elizabeth Wodell. Also see notes below.

Notes from "Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, Vol II", Page 176:
John Tripp of Portsmouth, R. I., was born in 1610, and died 1678. He was one of the signers of the compact at Portsmouth, April 30, 1639. March 1, 1643, he was granted by the town three acres of land next to Thomas Gorton. On November 30, 1657, he was granted planting land on Hog Island for a period of seven years. He was an influential man in the community, occupying many offices of importance in his town and in the colony; for many years he was a member of the Town Council, and deputy to the General Assembly in 1648/54/55/58/61/62/63/64/66/67/68/69 and 72. In 1670/73/74 and 75 he was the assistant from Portsmouth. His wife was Mary Paine, daughter of Anthony and Rose of Portsmouth. His wife survived him and is mentioned in his will as Mary; she was the sole executrix of his will, dated December (or Oct) 6, 1677, and proved October 28 (or Sept 1), 1678. He left lands in Dartmouth, Portsmouth, Narragansett and Westerly to his children, and to each of his grand-children five shillings (to buy Bibles for them). His widow may have married a second time, April 4, 1682, to Benjamin Engell. Her father, Anthony Paine, died in 1650, and her mother married again, to a Mr. Weeden.

From the Tripp Family Association website: John TRIPP The Founder was christened on 8 Sep 1611 in Horkstow, Lincolnshire, England. He died on 12 Feb 1678 in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island. He was born in Horkstow, Lincolnshire, England . . . By his own hand, he wrote that he had 11 brothers and sisters, so he evidently did not have much to start with. For that reason he indentured himself to Randall Holden so that he could learn the carpenter trade. He was admitted as an inhabitant of the island of Aquidneck, (Later Rhode Island), and on April 30, 1638 signed a compact with twenty-eight others . . . John Tripp married Mary Paine in 1639 and during the next 21 years had, and then reared eleven children.

John married Mary PAINE 1638, Newport, RI. Mary (daughter of Anthony PAINE and Susanna-Alice POTTER) was born Abt 1618; died 12 Feb 1686/87, Portsmouth, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

All ten of these children are mentioned in the 1688 will of their aunt, Alice (Paine) Strange. However, the dates of birth of Mary and some of the children have been estimated, and may not be accurate as shown here. One database emailed to me has an additional son named Sylvanus, born in 1660, died 10 May 1716.

The surname is sometimes written as Payne.
