Notes for Abiel Tripp:
[John-Peleg.FTW]
Abiel Tripp is my 7th Great Grand Uncle.
References: Randall, Abiel manuscript from the New Bedford Library; Breffni
Whelan, decendant and my 9th cousin, who specializes on daughters and their
offspring; Following is a record verbatim from Valentine Research Studio, of
Washington D.C., written by Caroline Valentine, and published in 1932:
Abiel Tripp Founds a Line
The Abiel to whom the known early "double cousins" and many other
cousins trace, did not have his "chance" with the rest. Instead of a long life
and quiver full of children, he had but a brief, promising youth, and a single
child, a son, born just before the father's death, to carry on the name.
This first Abiel indeed began well. He was admitted as freeman of the
Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, May 6, 1679, as Abiel of
Portsmouth; where he was already a freeman of the town, owning property. Of all
but eldest sons, this was required. On May 16, 1682, he is recorded as voting.
In 1679, at twenty-six, he was Surveyor of Cattle for Portsmouth, a position
requiring quick and keen decisions, and ripened judgment. The Tripp-Hall minds
marched so well together that his marriage with a third Hall must have greatly
gratified the parents on both sides, two of his sisters having married Halls
also.
The first Abiel Tripp died at thirty-one, and to the tiny son, Abiel,
who first saw the light only three months earlier, came the responsibility for
all the long line of Tripps who followed these two. Even the junior Abiel was
survived by only two sons, Thomas of Tiverton, and Joseph, who married Frances
Hall. Although the second in this Abiel line, the Junior Abiel, was not
actually the second Abiel Tripp in America. For a cousin of this same name,
born in 1681 in Joseph's line, led him in time by three years. There were
four Johns, grandsons to the Founder. John, the oldest son of the Founder's
eldest, was by common consent known as the "John Junior". He also produced an
Abiel in 1709; so that there were three lines of Abiels evolved to cross and
entangle one another, before the fifth genration even began to appear.
Deliverance,the young widow of the first Abiel, soon married Thomas
Durfee. The interests of Abiel, the son, were cared for by a special act of the
legislature; whereby, on petition by Thomas, for himself and wife, the ferry
between Rhode Island and Bristol, to the north west, was "confirmed" upon the
heir of Abiel Senior. It was enacted that the ferry "be stated upon said
Thomas Durfee and his wife until the heir of said Abiel come of age".
Accordingly, after some little apparent competition between young
Abiel's guardians and John Burden, in 1698 "the Liberty of the Ferry" was
voted, for the seven years next ensuing, to Abiel Tripp and John Burden and
their heirs, etc., "as formerly", under Thomas Durfee and his wife Deliverance.
This was an important ferry, leading to the mainland over a stretch of
the bay. It was for that day a big business asset of the colony of Portsmouth
and of Newport. It was strictly censored, and the act of confirmation required
that the Ferry Masters carry all Magistrates, Deputies and Jurymen, and all
other persons being upon his Magisty's service, and the post ferriage, free.
They were warned, also, "not to exceed their usual price for ferriage", etc.
Since Abiel's wharf in Rhode Island was at the Island end of the Ferry,
it is easy to see how convenient it was for the town to make the first young
Abiel, and his son after him, surveyor of the cattle being taken off the island.
Just as easy, probably, was it for the Abiels to root them selves in the
soil of Tiverton.At all events, Thomas was seated there; John Junior, son of
John and Susanna Anthony became a fixture there also. Othniel, John Junior's
son, staid until his own first wife died, apparently.
Before coming of age, young Abiel allied himself with Eleanor Waite.
They were married the day after her sixteenth birthday. The two were cousins;
Eleanor's mother having been born Mary Tripp. They lived at Tiverton. Of course
there was a namesake for Abiel, the father and for the young Grandfather (now
more than twenty years dead); but this child, born in 1707, died in infancy.
As John the Founder's line, the Abiel line started in Portsmouoth; as
an Abiel line, it started in Portsmouth, but passed to Tiverton, where John
Junior's Abiel was also seated, and later, to New York.
