Pedigreene Tripp

Notes:

His name may have been Peregrine. It is Pedigreene in his father's will.

The name is passed down in the family and is spelled variously as Peregrine, Peregreene, Perigreen, Pedegreen, Pedigreen(e), Peddegreene, Perrygreen, and Petegren.

From the Exeter Town Council records: "Pedigreen Tripp of Exeter yeoman and Susannah Tripp wife of said [PT] . . . land to my father Job Tripp . . . land my grandfather Job Tripp gave to my father in his will . . . my brother Peleg . . . " dated 25 Feb 1758

Also in the Exeter town records, Peddegreene Tripp and wife Martha signed deeds on 14 April 1780 and again in 1785. This may be a second marriage for Pedigreene, although dates on the gravestones suggest Susannah died in 1778 (S. Tripp, see family burial lot findagrave.com).

There is a marriage record at Richmond for a Pedigreen Fry Tripp:
TRIPP Peregrine Fry, of Exeter, and Martha Boss, of Jeremiah, of Richmond; m. at Richmond by John Webster, Justice, Sept. 14, 1760; Town Page Detail: Marriage (Vol. 1 : Pg. 43), Richmond, RI.

Is Peregrine Fry Tripp the same individual who married Susannah Sherman? This needs more research.


If Susannah died before 1760, this Pedigreene may have married Martha Boss in 1760 which case the youngest son would be hers.

Pedigreene married Susannah Sherman Abt 1748. Susannah was born Abt 1729; died Between 1755 and 1778. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Job was "of Exeter." His will mentions stepmother Elizabeth, so it is not known who his mother is.

"Doc Job Tripp" is mentioned in the Exeter Town Records of 19 June 1759.

The will of Job Tripp of Exeter, yeoman, is dtd 18 Dec 1779, prvd 6 May 1782. Besides his "mother-in-law" (stepmother) Elizabeth, he mentions 5 sons: Peleg, Charles, Pedigreene, Benjamin, and Ezekiel; and 5 dtrs: Mehitable Green, Sarah Weight, Anna Mosher, Mary Weeden, and Phebe Boss; also two grandsons, Job Tripp; and Pedigreene Tripp s/o son Pedigreene.

Job married Sarah Weeden Abt 1722. Sarah was born 20 May 1704. [Group Sheet]

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]

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.

Notes:

Peleg's will mentions his wife Anne, and children Job, Peleg, Richard, Priscillla, Sarah (Rogers), Mary (Smith), Anne (Rogers), & Mehitable (Thurston), also daughter-in-law Sarah Tripp and kinsman William Sanford, overseer.

Peleg married Anne Sissons Abt 1665. Anne was born Abt 1647, Dartmouth, MA; died 13 Jan 1712/13. [Group Sheet]
