Sylvanus Tripp of Maine

Not a known child of John Tripp, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Sylvanus TRIPP was born in 1662 in Kittery, York, MA Bay (ME), or England. He died in 1741 in Kittery, York, MA Bay (ME). He was christened. He was buried in Kittery, York, ME. ! The name TRIPE was used for the first 4 generations, but later descendants used TRIPP. Maine was part of MA at this time. Sylvanus, a weaver, bought land from Margaret's mother that later was known as Tripe's Point and is now part of Kittery Navy Yard. His will, written 29 Dec 1714, proven 10 May 1716, left his entire estate to wife Margaret for mainte- nance for herself and their eight children who were named (GDMNH 694; Maine Wills 188-190) as Willian Tripe, Silvanus Tripe, Samuel Tripe, Thomas Tripe, Robert Tripe, Ionna Pope, Margaret Tripe and Mary Tripe. Inventory L212:06:0. Randall says that he is perhaps the youngest son of John of Newport, but dates tend to make this unrealistic.

disputed origins

From https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:L8HV-G3H

Document from Enoch Bartlett Tripp Sr. indicates Sylvanus was born on the Highlands of Scotland. DNA evidence would indicate that Sylvanus Tripp (Tripe) is not the 11th son of John Tripp and Mary Paine.
Note that it is more likely that Sylvanus would be buried in Portmouth, New Hampshire which is acorss the river from Kittery than to be burried in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tripp-129

Descendants of Sylvanus Tripp have a DNA that does not match that of supposed brother James Tripp's descendants. Other supporting evidence disqualifies Sylvanus as a son of John Tripp and Mary Paine (so he has been disconnected from them):

From the 1670 Affidavit of John the Founder, John therein counted his children as 11, with one "ded", as he states in the Affidavit. With John's ten children who lived well past 1670, this leaves no room for Sylvanus, then about 8 years old.

A place to seek the origins of Sylvanus may be in the Horkstow Parish Register, or another nearby, in Lincoln.
John Tripp arrived in New England in 1635. Sylvanus Tripp arrived at about age 25 (b abt 1662), which would be about 1687, at Maine.

From http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/TRIPP/2005-10/1129256713

Sylvanus Tripe, born about 1662 [perhaps 1660 in Portsmouth, RI], settled in Kittery about 1690. He married Margaret, daughter of William and Joan Diamond. Some sources say Margaret was born in Portsmouth, also.

• **I now believe that the above is very unlikely. Sylvanus was probably the son of Gabriel Tripe of Totnes, Devonshire who immigrated to Kittery. The Diamonds of Kittery were also from Devonshire.

I think we can be quite sure that the Sylvanus line is not connected to the John line, here or or in England. Devon is quite far from Horkstow.

SYLVANUS TRIPP 1660 - 1716 AKA TRIPE

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tripp-129

Disputed Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tripp-129

Conclusions of others place Sylvanus Tripp of Maine as the eleventh and last child of John, in part based on Randall’s manuscript of Sylvanus’ descendants which is an extension of his other manuscripts which trace selected sons of John the Founder.[1]

Descendants of Sylvanus Tripp have a DNA that does not match that of supposed brother James Tripp's descendants.[2] Other supporting evidence disqualifies Sylvanus as a son of John Tripp and Mary Paine (so he has been disconnected from them):

From the 1670 Affidavit of John the Founder, John therein counted his children as 11, with one "ded", as he states in the Affidavit. With John's ten children who lived well past 1670, this leaves no room for Sylvanus, then about 8 years old.
A place to seek the origins of Sylvanus may be in the Horkstow Parish Register, or another nearby, in Lincoln.

John Tripp arrived in New England in 1635. Sylvanus Tripp arrived at about age 25 (b abt 1662), which would be about 1687, at Maine.
