Acus Tripp

Acus was son of Benoni Tripp and Elizabeth Mosher who married on 21 Nov 1728 at Little Compton, Newport, RI. Benoni was probably born ca 1706, son of Job Tripp and a first wife who must have married prior to 1706. This wife apparently died and Job married second Elizabeth Sweet, daughter of James Sweet and Jane Browning. Job was the son of Peleg Tripp and Anne Sisson; Peleg the son of John Tripp and Mary Paine.

Acus was one of the original proprietors of Liverpool NS receiving his 500 acres of land.

The Settlement there was an attempt by the British to settle in NS with there own countrymen after the defeat of the French and Indian War.

Acus Returned to Cape Cod about the time of the revolution because the name Tripp had disappeared from Queens County NS. In 1790 Census he is listed as living in Yarmouth Mass. He was a corporal in the Revolution and wounded at Bunker Hill.

(The Question is why did he return to Canada or did he?)
