John George Kipp

The Lancaster / York Pennsylvania Kipps John George Kipp (1763-1826) Johann Heinrich Kipp -- John George Kipp – George Kipp – George William Kipp Jr. – John Wilbert Kipp – Earl Lloyd Kipp John George Kipp was born in 1763, the second son and third child of Johan Heinrich Kipp and Anna Maria Schmit Kipp. He was baptized on July 3, 1763 in the Blaser Reformed Church in Donegal, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Sponsors were George Schmit and his wife, parents of his mother. It is likely that he was named after his maternal grandfather. LANCASTER COUNTY George Kipp was married to Anna Barbara Blaser (1767- unknown). Her date of death is unknown but she is mentioned in the will of her father in 1799. She is not mentioned in the intestate records of George Kipp. Anna Barbara was the daughter of John Nicholas and Susannah (Anna Magdalena) Weyant. The 1810 census records indicate that George may have had nine children. Seven or more of these children were with Susannah. A possibility of a second spouse is indicated by the difference in ages between Daniel and Mary and the older children, and that Susannah would have been at least 45 when Mary was born. The seven known children are Henry (about 1789), John Nicholas (1791), George (1796), Joseph (1799), Daniel (about 1811), Mary (after 1812), and Jacob (unknown). Probate records, discussed below, mention a granddaughter named Barbara Hollinger. The mother of Barbara, and another son named Samuel, may be the other two children.
