Talk:John Trippe

Untitled
Hello, this is my first attempt to contribute to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I'm doing it "wrong."

This is a very nice article but I have one correction. The Time article notwithstanding, Lt. John Trippe did not marry. Per the Dictionary of American Biography, “Trippe, John (1785-July 9, 1810), naval officer, … He was a direct descendant of Henry Trippe…who migrated from England … in 1663 … [accounts of Tripoli, Vixen/Moselle follow] … Trippe died at Havana. He was unmarried. …”

Also, per Who Was Who in America, 1607-1896 (pub. 1963): “Trippe, John, naval officer; b. Dorchester County, MD., 1785; s. William and Mary (Noel) T.; never married….” (p. 537)

Juan Terry Trippe (m. Elizabeth “Betty” Stettinius) is the second cousin, 3 times removed, of Lt. John Trippe. Their common ancestor is William Trippe (1690-1770), m. Frances Tate. William was the son of Henry Trippe, the immigrant ancestor.

I can post the lineages but will omit them unless requested. They are available in Helen Trippe Ball’s John Heron Trippe, Husband of Sarah Ann Jones: Their Ancestors and Descendants, published 1986, now on file (I believe) in the Maryland State Archives.

This will also apply to (at least) the biography page for Juan Trippe. Is the wikiprotocol that I just correct this, or leave it here for discussion? Irimi998 (talk) 22:02, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
