Biography

Joseph Tripp, son of John Tripp and Mary Paine, was probobly born at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, say about 1644-46. He married, 6 Aug 1667, Mehitable, daughter of Thomas and Mary Fish of Portsmouth.[1]

Joseph’s marriage and the birth of his children were recorded in Dartmouth, but it seems likely that his marriage and the birth of the older children took place at Portsmouth. Town authorities often recorded the births of all the children of a family, even when many were born elsewhere.[1]

Joseph was made a freeman of Portsmouth, 4 May 1675, which probably indicates that he had lived there up to that time. On 3 May 1671, his father had deeded him land in Dartmouth and eventually he moved to that town, where he was listed as one of the townsmen, 24 Mar 1686. He probably lived there the rest of his life.[1]

Joseph Tripp was listed as a Freeman of Dartmouth in Plymouth Colony on 24 Mar 1668, and served as a member of the Court of Trials on 2 Oct 1677. He represented Dartmouth as a Deputy in 1685 and served as a Selectman from 1686 to 1690. On 16 Apr 1697, he was called "Lieutenant" when he was commissioned, with others, by the probate court to make a distribution of land in Little Compton.

Children of Joseph Tripp and Mehitable Fish

Joseph and Mehitable had the following children:[1]

John, b. 6 Jul 1668
Thomas, b. 28 Mar 1670 Jonathan, b. 5 Oct 1671 Peleg, b. 5 Nov 1673 Ebenezer, b. 17 Dec 1675 James, b. 12 Jan 1677 Alice, b. 1 Feb 1679 Abiel, b. 8 Jan 1681 Mehitable, b. 9 Oct 1683 Joseph, b. 24 Aug 1685 Jabez, b. 3 Nov 1687 Mary, b. 22 Aug 1689 Daniel, b. 3 Nov 1691

Joseph died at Portsmouth, 17 Nov 1718. His wife Mehitable was living, 29 Dec 1713, at the time he made his will.[1]

Joseph Tripp died testate, having written a will on 29 Dec 1713, which was proved on 6 Jan 1719. The will named his son Joseph as executor and left him the homestead and the bulk of the estate. His wife Mehitable received 5 pounds a year and her diet and house room for life, with most of the moveables in the dwelling house. His son Peleg was left 3 shillings, his son Ebenezer 5 pounds, his son Abiel 5 pounds, his son Daniel 20 pounds, his daughter Alice Sherman a brass chafing dish, his daughter Mehitable Sherman a Dutch pewter pot or flagon, his daughter Mary Wait 10 shillings, and his grandson Joseph Tripp (son of Jonathan) 2 pounds. His two oldest sons, John and Thomas, are not mentioned in the will or elsewhere and may have died young.
