TRIPP
FIRST GENERATION
Samual
Tripp (1782-1868) & Sarah Storey (1780-1875) My first immigrant ancestors of the Tripp family were my GGGGGrandparents Samual Somner Tripp and his wife Sarah Storey, who emigrated to Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario, Canada in 1835. The family’s origin was in Somersetshrire, England, where young Samual enlisted in the West Mendip Volunteer Regiment as Lieutenant and Paymaster in 1803. When the Regiment was demobilized after the threats of an envasion by Napoleon diminished, Samual and Sarah lived for a time near Burnham-on-Sea on the Bristol Channel, where my GrGrGrGrandmother Mary Ann Tripp was born on April 7, 1817. On April 25, 1835, Samual and Sarah set sail for Canada with their teenaged daughters, my ancestor Mary Ann, then a teenager at 18, Sarah about 16, Francis age 12, and Eliza Jane who was the youngest at age 8. They sailed the perilous Atlantic on the sailing ship “John Stamp”, arriving at Quebec City June 20, 1835. Little Eliza Jane wrote of their being met at Bytown (now Ottawa) by their friends the Sherriff family of Fitzroy Harbour, and of the two day journey by stagecoach from Bytown to Aylmer and from there by riverboat to Fitzroy Harbour. The Sherriffs were the founders and leading citizens of Fitzroy Harbour, and related to the Wilsons. The voyage to Canada of Samual and Sarah in 1835 was preceded by the voyage of their oldest son Henry and his wife Susannah Adams who sailed across the Atlantic in 1833. Both age 23 at the time, they also settled at Fitzroy Harbour, with their little son Harry James. Samual and Sarah had three other sons, James (b. 1812), who was lost at sea, and two sons who remained in London. Their early years of my Tripp ancestors at Fitzroy Harbour were saddened by the death of young Francis. However the next family event was a happy one - the marriage on February 6, 1839, of my GrGrGrGreatparents, Mary Ann Tripp and Charles Broughton Wilson. The Tripps had been close friends of the Wilsons in England, and Charles Broughton was probably on the same boat across the Atlantic. Next to marry was Sarah, whose husband John Ferguson farmed in Torbolton. Eliza Jane, the youngest, married Mordecai Lester, a tanner in Fitzroy Harbour.. The Tripp family was very close and family ties kept strong with a constant exchange of letters with the families of the two brothers who remained in London. Religion was also important; the Tripps were devout and active members of the Church of England. My ancesters the Tripp and Wilson families were also close to one another, working together almost as one family.. In 1851 Henry Tripp bought a farm near the Wilsons. By 1861 Samual Tripp and his wife Sarah, then in their seventies, moved to a small house near Broughton Wilson and his wife Mary Ann. A story is told of a path worn between the two houses by old Mr. Tripp. Samual Somner Tripp died in 1868 at the age of 86, and his wife Sarah died in 1868 in 1875 at the age of 91. They are buried near the Wilsons in St. Georges Anglican Cemetary, Fitzroy Harbour. SECOND GENERATION
