The ancestral home of John Tripp (1610-1678), immigrant ancestor to Portsmouth, Rhode Island about 1635.<br /> * Tarbert, Isle of Harris, Scotland. The ancestral home of Norman MacLeod, my 3rd g-grandfather in my mother’s line. <br /> * County Cavan, Ireland. My McElwain ancestors were purportedly from here. Samuel McElwain was born about 1824 in Ireland and arrived in Durham County, Upper Canada about 1844. <br /> * Truck’s Discovery. Land patented by George Trucks, my 5th g-grandfather, in Frederick Co., Maryland. He was there as before 1748. George was born about 1720 and died before 1769 when his estate was proved. His origins are unknown but thought to be German. <br /><br />Question #2: What are the four most unusual surnames in your family tree?<br /> * Fairbairn<br /> * Kriegh<br /> * Playfair<br /> * Trucks<br /><br />Question #3: Which four brick walls would you most like to smash through?<br /> * The parents of Charles Tripp (1761-1844), my 3rd g-grandfather. Indirect evidence points to Jabez Tripp (1729-c1806) as his father. <br /> * The parents of Mary Ann Duke (1844-1931). Born in Manchester, England, family legend has it she was separated from her family when they were shipwrecked at sea. Mitochondrial DNA testing suggests her maternal line was from County Mayo, Ireland.<br /> * The parents of my 2nd g-grandmother, Charlotte Chatterson (1819-1895) who was probably born in Cramahe Township, Upper Canada. Several Loyalist Chatterson families from New York settled in Ernestown, Upper Canada and later in Cramahe. <br /> * Who was W. J. Willsie? My paternal g-grandmother Mary Willsie Tripp’s father. Born about 1821 in New York, he and his wife Hannah Squires were probably in Southwestern Michigan by 1846 when my g-grandmother Mary was born.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473905334605518834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-87265614340668353352016-04-09T17:23:29.509-07:002016-04-09T17:23:29.509-07:00I decided to play along as well!
