"A record of Jonathan Paine (grandfather of Thatcher's)"...February 8, 1753 a bill of sale fo r 'old Moll' a Negro woman about whom there has been so much controversy. A few years earlier , a distinguished citizen of Truro, Jonathan Paine, sold his negro Hector to Benjamin Collin s for thirty pounds. Hector, we are told lived to be an old man and became something of a loc al celebrity--his name being given to such places as Hector's Nook and Hector's Stubble, spot s which were once well known to Truro men. Paine had a less happy experience with another slave, a negro named Pomp, who was kidnapped f rom the Congo by the crew of a Truro whaler and sold to Paine at the end of the voyage. The p oor fellow never became reconciled to his new way of life. The bleak shores of Truro supporte d no vast plantations where a hundred darkies worked by day and found solace in singing wol d melodies together at twilight. Pomp suffered silently until lonliness conquered and he hang ed himself to the limb of a tree. Library of Cape Cod History & Genealogy Pamphlet No. 70, by Shebnah Rich, states: I think th e ancestor of all the Paines now in Truro except the Elkanah branch.He was prominent in the t own affairs; inherited most of the land owned by his father at Longnook. It was an infirmit y to this family never to sell the land; it continued largely in the hands of the descendant s for many generations, and to this day considerable of the land bought by Thomas Paine, of o ne eye, of the Indians, 1670 is still Paine property. His house has been mentioned as now bel onging to John Atkins. Of seven children I will mention Jonathan, Daniel and Hannah, the las t b. 1714 married Anthony Snow, 1731.

General Notes (Husband)
The first Tripp to come to America is the ances t o r of so many that someone appropriately tagged him " The Founder ". By hi s o w n hand, he wrote that he had 11 brothers and sisters, so he evidently did not h a v e much to start with. For that reason he indentured himself to experienced peo p l e so that he could learn the carpenter trade. He was admitted as an inhabit a n t of the island of Aquidneck, (Later Rhode Island), and on April 30, 1638 si g n ed a compact with twenty-eight others as follows: "We whose names are under w r itten do acknowledge ourselves the legal subjects of His Majesty king Charle s , a nd in his name do hereby bind ourselves into a civil body politic, unto h i s l aws according to matters of justice".
Records show that he accumulated land in Dartmou t h , (that he purchased from John Alden), land in Narragansett, land in Westerl y a n d land on Hog Island. This island got its name from the fact, that all of the h o g s that were not controlled by their owners by fences or buildings, were h a u led over and turned loose on Hog Island! I don't know what John did with th e m , when he started farming the island! I guess this was the first Tripp t o r a ise pigs in this country!
John Tripp was active in several aspects of the g o v ernment, including Commissioner. He was Deputy for the following years:
1648,1654,1655,1658,1661,1662,1663,1664,1666,1667, 1 6 68,1669, and 1672. He left in his will various lands, buildings plus orchar d s , and fencing.
John Tripp married Mary Paine in 1639 and durin g t h e next 21 years had, and then reared eleven children. From the New Bedford Mas s a chusetts Library we have secured records for first generation of all the chil d r en and subsequent years for John Tripp Junior, Peleg Tripp, Joseph Tripp, A b i el Tripp, James Tripp, and Sylvanus Tripp. Together with additional infor m a tion about Abiel Tripp from Warren Forrest Tripp, of Wheatridge Colorad o a n d Paul Tripp of Pennsylvania who recently moved to Provo Utah.
There is a Tripp house located in Scranton Pennsylvania t h a t was evidently built by Isaac Tripp's son Isaac Tripp. The house is purp o r ted to be built on and around the original log house built in 1778. That w a s t he year that Grandpa Isaac was killed by the Indians with nine spear s p u t through him! The though, is that records from this house indicate that J o h n Tripp the Founder set sail on June 10th 1635, on the ship named Tru e L ove, to come to this country.
Herman William Tripp--R e m embering John Tripp, Gentleman, Pioneer, At Work by Caroline Valentine writing in the Valentine Research S t u dio, in Washington D.C., published in 1932.
Verbatim:
As the centuries have wheeled into the past, fi v e h undred men, or possibly a thousand, have answered to the unassuming na m e , John Tripp. It may be supposed that none of these ever once dreamed, that f r o m him should come a man to sit on the American throne. Yet this honor cam e t o J ohn the Founder, in prospect, and in very fact to one of his descendants.
All that we find recorded of him shows that Joh n T r ippe of Portsmouth did his daily task with his might, looking for the Ligh t , a nd in the fear of God as He was conceived by them of the Friends' persuasion.
As plain country squire, at many points in old En g l and; as lawyer; as physician; as clergyman of the established, stereotyped s o r t; as colonial deputy; as Mayor and representatime of his King, John Tr i p p was always "John Tripp, Gentleman".
Manifesting in multifarious forms, he played alw a y s an estimable part, and no records of John Tripp show that he was ever less t h a n an honorable man, strictly "on the job" that fell to him in his then sphere.
But the very formal term, John Tripp, Gentleman , f o und in the old records, was brought over from England, even as was Joh n h i mself. The line back into the mists of the conquror's time is so long, t h a t no one may now tell how many John Tripps trod English soil. The family n a m e was certainly John, and a common custom of giving the names of the foun d e r of the family, and of the father and grandfather to the elder sons in ever y f a mily, held for untold generations among the Tripps.
Ancient deeds long held by English Tripps, ev e n i n west England, testify to the family grip on the soil throughout many ce n t uries. English genealogists seem to agree that Canterury was the pla c e o f inception as far as history shows, and one of the stanard English Genealogi c a l firms informs us that no Tripp family there known can be traced to any b u t t he one root in Kent. It is of record that a Tripp of 1325 held right to a co a t o f arms; but the date of its conferment is missing.
Sir Charles Tripp, who bore it, was a well-know n l a wyer of the Middle Temple, London, whose arms are both shown and describe d . H e was son of that English John Trippe, Gentleman, who lived both in the six e e nth and the seventeenth centuries. His father (and probably he, himse l f ) saw life as it was keenly lived in France as well as in England. For the fat h e r, according to the English heralds, was John Trippe, Vice-Marshal of Calais.
A very gorgeous John Tripp, Gentleman, in crims o n a nd gold, executed the city ordinances of Hull, as its Mayor, in 1669. we fin d h i m under the heading "John Tripp, 1660" in a most quaint old English book of n o t ables who had been schoolmates in Lincolne county or elsewhere. The styl e i s o ften humorous, but the English owe the author a great debt for historical it e m s lacking elsewhere. This John was Chamberlain; then Sheriff; then Mayor of Hu l l , 1669.
John Tripp, Gentleman, Pioneer At Work
John the Founder's appearance in Portsmouth, w a s i n 1638; in Providence, under date of May 16, 1648. He had come over in the sam e s h ip with William Hall in 1635. His name appears on the organization list of Por t s mouth as John Trippe.
On this list appeared the names of eleven famil i e s with whom the Tripps were to intermarry. One of these was that of Antho n i e Paine, John's father in law; another, that of William Haule (Hall), th r e e of whose children became "in laws" to John Tripp, later. Thus, the foundi n g o f Portsmouth seems rather a family affair.
The remnant of the earliest records of Portsmou t h n ow available contains no less than 80 references to John Tripp, the Founder o f t h e New England line of English Tripps. The indexers agree that the spellings Tr i p , Tripe, and Tripp belong also to the family of Trippe.
In 1649, we find John serving on a jury; as al s o i n 1650, 1653, etc. By this time, three fourths the recorded names are of thos e r e lated, or to be related by marriage to the first John Tripp, and to ass i s t in carrying on his family line.
In 1651, he is clerk of "the wayghts and measure s " . In the same year he makes an agreement with Ralph Earle concerning a line fen c e . This precise paper fills one and one half pages of the records, as printe d . I t was signed in the presence of four witnesses, one of whom was Benedict Arno l d . The meat of it was that each signer should play fair with the other, as to r e c iprocity on stones and in the work of building the stone fence; a chief obj e c t being to "make there sayed landes several to each of their private uses."
John was between two fires, in that Ralph Earl' s l a nd joined him on both the north and the south sides. One point of the agre e m ent read thus: "From yeare to yeare, so long as those sayd lots ly open togeth e r , Earl's to Tripp's aforenamed, that they will not on either of these said l o t s damnify each other by Cattell there put by their order." This agreement wa s c o nsidered so important that the heirs of both signers are included i n i t s terms, and a forfeit of twenty pounds sterlng is laid on the failur e ; t o be "payed by the Ptie defective, unto the other Ptie engaged therein". For m a l seals completed the document, when signed.
It was a wise move to block trouble with boundi n g n eighbors. I can recall, as grandchild of New York pioneers six generati o n s later, the threats of law-suits and the loud words following the neglect of fen c e s, which led to raids by neighbors' cattle, on growing grain.
Having served his town freely and well whenever n e e ded, John Tripp came to the honor of being chosen Committeeman for the Gener a l l Court. This was an important term, for this committee was authorized to me e t w ith those of the other towns, "at the day Nuport neighbors shall apoint, w i t h as full power to act as if the towne were present."
The same "Meetinge of the Inhabitants of Portsmou t h " that chose John Tripp as representative, voted also, "that Assamequin sh a l l have his coate payed him forthwith for his rent of the medows on the ma i n e land, on the north side of Roade Ilande".
In 1655, John Tripp was chosen "commissioner o f t h e Colony, to transact the business of the Generall Court to be held at Provide n c e at the usuall tyme". He here appears as "Mr. John Tripp." Serving wit h h i m were John Roome, John Briggs, Thomas Lauton and Mr. Thomas Brownell.
Portsmouth, by this time, was becoming importan t . E ven among this goodly people, thieves were abroad, it seems; who, if t h e y could but remove cattle from the island, could then snap their fingers a t a l l authority. The ferries became increasingly important. Thus, in Augus t o f t he year 1666, the town meeting appointed John Tripp, his son in law's fath e r , William Hall and two others "to survaie and view all cattell that shall be hen c e forth transported off the Iland and to take the names of all such as transp o r t cattell, the day of the month when, the number of the Generall Cattel, with t h e re severall ear marks and if any have cattel that have not their own ea r e m arke or that have other markes than ther owen the survayers are hereby requ i r ed to make stopp of them, unless thay give satisfaction to the survayer s h o w they cam by those Cattel, so differently marked. and the survayeers are t o s e e the Cattell boated and if any carry cattell off the Land in the night, tho u g h survayed before, shall have a survayer to see them at ther going of sho r e o r shall forfeit tenn pounds and stand to further sensuer of the toune".
Serving frequetly on the Town Council, John was c h o sen also in 1661, with five others, to serve as a "Court of Comitioners " a t P ortsmouth. The following year he was chosen to serve on the next Gener a l c ourt of Commissioners to be held at Warwick.
The report of the town meeting for February, 16 6 3 n otes that four "Comitioners or deputyes" were chosen to serve at a Gene r a l Court to be held at Newport. Of these, was Mr. John Tripp. Another was h i s b rother in law Mr. Lott Stange; who had married Alice Paine, sister to Joh n T r ipp's wife Mary.
In the meantime, John's family is increasing an d m a turing. The year 1666 sees John appear on the records as "Mr. John Tripp s e n ior". he serves this year on the Grand Jury. A new duty--of Rate making is l a i d upon him in 1666. He is chosen for the Grand Jury (with two others). He is ke p t , as in most years, in the post of Surveyor of Cattle, and is again chosen dep u t y to the General Assembly. In 1667, the town chooses him to serve, with Al b r o, Cooke, Aly, William Hall and Sanford, to devise a method of prevent i n g "the destruction of wood and timber of this township" and some method of redr e s s for the town.
In June of 1667, John Tripp is once more chos e n a s one of the four Portsmouth "deputies for ye next Generall Court, as depu t y . In 1669, he serves again in the General Assembly, held at Newport in May o f t h at year. In 1672 he serves in the April Assembly, and also in that of October.
John Tripp, the Founder, is now aging. He has b u t s ix more years in which to prove his value. But during these years he is al l o wed no surcease of work. In this year of 1672, he becomes moderator of the P o r tsmouth meeting; to which office he is chosen each year therafter up to and i n c luding 1675. As rate maker; as surveyor of cattle; as keen eyed representati v e o f his town in many capacities, he does his unhurried and faithful duty. As m o d erator, he is hampered by rules hitherto unknown to the presiding offic e r s; since, in the last previous meeting, the town council voted that for the fut u r e, "noe Towne meetinge shall have power to act in affaires Relating e t o t he Towne Except there be at least the number of fifteene prescent at th e S a id meeting. And further ordered that for the future, noe Moderator of t h e T owne Meeting Shall presume to desolve Such Said Meeting without the Major v o t e of the said Meetinge. And if any Moderator shall from the meeting wit h d raw himself, without the leave of the major part of the meeting, it shal l b e i n the power of that meetinge to elect another to the place of Moderator."
In 1675, Mr. John Tripp was chosen by the town co u n cil for three several offices besides that of moderator. One of thes e w a s that of prover and sealer of weights and measures, "accordinge as the la w o f t his Collony hath provided." in 1676, 1677 and 1678 he is still filling imp o r tant town offices. This last year sees his last appearance on the records.
In April of the year 1679, "the widow Mary Trip p " r eceives from the Town Council" a License for one year to Sell Victuals a n d d rink to Travelers and to afford them entertainment as may bee needful and C o n veient, they first giveing bond according to law for the keeping of good or d e r and do also pay into the Treasury ten Shillings for each License".
So far as the records indicate, the public wo r k o f John Tripp was never spectacular; but these were sober-minded men, and the s a m e might be said of almost any man of record at Portsmouth during this peri o d . this John was most surely a man of keen mind and great personal integrity , f o r his name comes into prominence in every essential matter, and wherever mon e y i s the crux of the situation, except in connection with the Treasury. But Wi l l iam Wodell was long the Treasurer for the town of Portsmouth. he was a l s o many times a deputy from Portsmouth.
As, at this period, every priviledge that high au t h ority could offer was for members of the established church, the church of Engl a n d, and that every indignity and tax that could be conceived was visited u p o n non-members, under many of the colonial governments, we may imagine how mu c h n eed the quiet group of Friends had of the stiff neck which was supposed t o b e t heir crowning attribute.
The "Sufferings", at one period, any Friend ca m e t o be ranked very high in the estimation of his Order. John Simcock, clos e f r iend and valued counselor of William Penn, was a notable "sufferer"; no r d i d the least conspicuous escape his tax of scorn and obloquy, anguis h a n d financial loss. Costly, indeed, was it to "follow The Light", in their time.
In 1658, Roger Williams wrote: "It was not pric e n o r money that could have purchased Rhode Island. Rhode Island was obtai n e d by love; by the love and favor which that honorale gentleman, Sir Henry V a n e, and myself, had with that great Sachem, Miantonomie".
Nine years after John Tripp signed the Aquidnec k g r oup covenant, he set his name to a marvelous politico-human document in Provid e n ce. its basis and tenor were human love and human liberty. It, too, was a c o v enant, its purpose being to place upon record: "That we are not willfully op p o site, nor careless and senceless, and therby meanes of our own and others' r u i ne and destruction. And especiallly in Testimonye of our fidelitye and Cordi a l l affections unto one another heere present, so that there may be a currant, pe a c eable and Comfortble proceedinge."
John, Peleg and Joseph Tripp, Citizens
At the time when the first John appeared in the G e n erall Court. Mr. Roger Williams was chosen to be assistant. This Assembl y w a s called by the Islanders the "Generall Court of Election". It was then o r d ered that six men should be chosen for each town, in whom the General Cou r t s hould be continued. Also that the Generall Court of Tryall should be held " b y c ourse", wherever the actions should arise, and at such times as the committe e s h ould choose. This seems suplementary to the previous work of the General As s e mbly.
On this committee appeared the names of Weeden, l a w ton, Almy, Briggs, Wilbor and Green: into whose families the descendants o f J o hn Tripp were soon to marry.

According to George L. Randall in his book: Geneal o g y of Descendants of JOHN TRIPP, JR. Mr. Randall says John landed at Newport, Rhode Island , i n 1 630 or 1635. He came to America as an apprentice wi th M aste r Randall Holden, who was from Salisbury, Wiltshi re, E nglan d. He went to Portsmouth in 1638 and was a sig ner o f the R hode Island compact on 30 April 1639.
Breffni Whelan found the following document of Joh n T r ipp in the New Bedford, Massachusetts Library: Th e res ol ution of John the said John Tripp concerning the p lace s o f his abode: First I was born in Covetown (or Hor etow/ Hork stow) in Lincolnshire 3 miles from Benton Harbor , an d my Fa ther's Name was John Tripp and my mother's nam e wa s Isabe l Moses and before she married my father whe n she w as a mai d and they had about twelve children and m uch kind red we ha d and when I grew in years I was put a n apprentic e to a Sha pt (ships) carpenter whose name wa s John Beaty ( Beety, Beed y?) of (Horys)burg three miles f rom Alsand in L incolnshir e aforesaid where I served year s and sometime af ter wrough t with him and after that I bo und myself to ow e Frances Eas t for 4 pounds a year fo r 4 years who sold m e and I had ser ved him and his assig n for about a year an d a half.

According to the above account, John was in Lincolns h i re between 1610 and 1635, In Boston, between 1635 and 1 63 6 , in Providence between 1636 and 1637, and in Portsmou t h be tween 1637 and 1677.
He served four terms as Governor's Assistant of Rh o d e Island and Sixteen terms as State Representative pe r Ne wp ort Rhode Island court records. He was a Quaker an d a c arp enter by trade. He was a prominent citizen filli ng th e off ice of deputy many terms, and he was a member o f th e town c ouncil many years and held other town offices.
In 1638 his name appeared on a list of inhabitan t s o f the Island of Aquidnect, then within the jurisdicti o n o f Newport, Rhode Island. This information came from C OL ONI AL AND REVOLUTIONARY LINEAGES OF AMERICA, Volume 20 , b y th e American Historical Company, Inc., New York 1939.
He married Mary Paine in 1640 probably at Portsmou t h . She was the daughter of Anthony Paine and Rose Potte r . Ma ry was born in 1611 in Rhode Island and died 12 Febr ua ry 16 87 in Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island. A nth ony wa s one of the signers of Portsmouth Company. H e wa s born 15 85 in Nowton, Lincolnshire, England, and die d bef ore 27 Oct ober 1649 in Portsmouth. After his death , Rose m arried Jame s Weedon. Mr. John Austin wrote tha t on 27 Oct ober 1649 Jo hn and his wife Mary gave receip t to Rose Weed on, widow o f Anthony Paine, for legacy fro m the will of th e latter. O n 6 February 1660, John testif ied his Uncle Rob ert Potter s old a certain house and lan d to John Anthony p er Mr. John A ustin's THE GENEALOGICA L DICTIONARY OF RHOD E ISLAND, page s 160 and 208, and ALLI ED FAMILIES, page 249 . This is als o mentioned in THE RHOD E ISLAND GENEALOGICA L REGISTER, volu me 3, No. 1, pages 23 -26.
Anthony Paine's parents were John Paine, born abou t 1 5 55 in England, and Francis Spring who was born abou t 155 5 . John Paine's parent were Anthony Paine and Marth a Cast el l.
Rose Potter was born about 1587 in Portsmouth, Rho d e I sland. She died in 1643 in Portsmouth.
Before John Tripp and Mary Ann Paine married, she bo u g ht three acres from Richard Searle, living in Portsmou t h fo r a pint of wine. The Commission confirmed the lan d t o Mar y on 8 December 1666. According to a deposition m ad e by Wil liam Collings in 1666, the lot was above the to w n ferry. Th e sale was made at William Baulstone's hous e wh ere she wa s a barmaid. John ran the ferry.
John was granted eight acres of land next to Thoma s G o rton on 1 March 1643. On 30 November 1657 he had a gr an t o f land on Hog Island for the term of seven years.
On 8 September 1665, John deeded son Peleg one-quar t e r of a section of land in Dartmouth, formerly bought fr o m J ohn Alden (THE GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF RI by Joh n Os born e Austin)
John died 28 October 1678 In Portsmouth, RI. His w i l l dated 6 December 1677 and proved on 28 October 1678 , h i s wife Mary was to be the Executrix.

From another researcher on the internet: 2. John TRIP P w a s born about 1610 in England.(1) George L. Randall ha s wr it ten that he saw a document which appeared to be a c opy o f J ohn's own statement about his origins: " viz. , I John T ripp , b. Northumberland Co., Eng., Son of Joh n and Isabe l (Mose s) of Lincolnshire: b. 1610; was appren ticed to th e house c arpentry trade, and with his Master , Randall Hold en, came t o Newport or Portsmouth, in 1630 ; after completi ng his tim e he married Mary Paine, dau. o f Anthony, and ha d 11 childr en -- the paper ends by namin g the first child. " Mr. Randal l does not disclose the whe reabouts of this im portant docum ent, nor does he explai n the reason for its c hange from fir st to third person. H e emigrated in 1635 fro m Canterbury ar ea of co. Kent, Eng land.

[John-Peleg.FTW]
Peleg Tripp is my 7th Great Grandfather References: Randall, Peleg manuscript from the New Bedf o r d Library; Breffni Wheland, descendant who specializes on daughters and th e i r offspring;
Peleg Tripp was child number 2 of John Tripp t h e F ounder. I do not know where this name came from, but it was quite prevalent i n t h e 16 and 17 hundreds.( I have since learned from my first cousin Fran c e s Tripp Conyers that the name came from the bible. She has also contributed m u c h information, particularly for editing. Peleg received from his fath e r , while John was still living, one quarter section of land that John had purcha s e d from John Alden.
Peleg Tripp married Anne Sisson and had 10 child r e n, including Job who was my direct ancestor. Peleg was left only 5 pounds ster l i ng in John's will because John had already deeded land to him prior to hi s d e ath.
Herman William Tripp--Remembering--- - G randpa Peleg The following is typed verbatim from Valentine Research S t u dio, of Washington D.C., written by Caroline Valentine, and published in 19 3 2 . Page 67.
The year before the death (1677) of John Trip p t h e Founder, Peleg, the second son of John the Founder, appears on the town Counc i l , at the age of 35. In the October meeting of this year, his brother , J o seph, was chosen "to bee of the jury for the Court of Ryalls". Peleg was at o n c e placed on a committee, and set at work for the Colony.
In 1678, Peleg, Will Wodell and Jacob Mott a r e o n the town Council. At this time, Abiel, next younger, is admitted to be a Free m a n of Portsmouth. The Tripp Boys are coming on.
A special Town Meeting in December puts the to w n i n touch with the General Assembly. The town has been "warned" to meet, " t o h ere the Acts and Orders of the Court of General Assembly (held in Octobe r l a st) read, and also to make a rate of sixty eight pounds." "This, by the sa i d c ourt was ordered for this Towne of Portsmouth to pay, as their part and sha r e o f A Colony Rate of three hundred pounds, etc."
Joseph and six others were to handle this assessm e n t and to deliver their report "within one moneth next after the date of t h i s meeting, unto the magistrate of this Towne, for him to take care of and t o g i ve for this warrant to the Towne Serjeant for the warning of all persons conc e r ned to pay their parts. Rated according to court order".
In January, Peleg was placed on a committee eve n m o re important. Its duty was to audit and adjudge all accounts pending betw e e n Newport and Portsmouth, "Relating and only growing by Reason of the l a t e Indian wars". This Committee was also "to dispose of Indians for this Town ' s u se according to the General Assembly's order".
It appears that immediately on John Tripp's dea t h , his son Peleg was chosen to fill his place. For, it was in December 1679 t h a t Peleg was first sent as deputy to the next General Assembly, Like his fat h e r, he was held also to his work on the Town Council. This was feasible , b e cause the Assembly sessions were very short. Twice, in 1680, Peleg was selec t e d as deputy; as also once in 1681; and again June, 1683. In 1681 Peleg and W i l l Wodell helped work out the rates or assessments; the same two were on the 1 8 8 4 committee. In this year, Peleg took his father's place as overseer of the Poor.
By September of this year, "Major Peleg and oth e r s had procured a writing as "A confirmation or Enlargement of the Esta t e o r Right of this Island with Intention of good to both Towns on the Island, an d a l l the Freeholders therein". It was proposed (probably by Newport that Ports m o uth should appoint a committee "to inspect the Said writing and to consult a n d a dvise with the procurers thereof, how the Estate therein and thereby pro c u red may best be Conveyed to the Town in General."
The public life of Peleg Tripp seems to have bee n m o re important than that of his father. The records indicate that he serve d h i s generation in the company of the strong men of his own and the other tow n s o f the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence plantations, and gave added Stren g t h to the Assembly. A practical surveyor, he was ordered by the assembly t o r u n the westerly line in 1680, when acting as Deputy for Portsmouth; this wor k t o b e done in conjunction with Captain John Albro. "And the charges", says the rep o r t with definiteness", shall both to themselves and such as the y s h all employ in that work, shall be truly borne and paid by the General Treas u r y of this Colony. And they are to begin and proceed in the premises, with w h a t speed may bee, and make a true Return of what they doe therein, unto the n e x t General assembly". It was formally voted also: "That the Recorder doe forthw i t h transcribe the acts of this Assembly for running the Westerly line o f h i s Colony, and affix the Seale of the Colony thereto, and deliver the same u n t o Captain John Albro and Mr. Peleg Tripp, or either of them".
No sooner was the Assembly in session in March, 16 8 0 , than an immediate, serious and unexpected situation caused grave concern t o t h e deputies. On the tenth of the month, at the initial session the Governo r w a s chosen moderator. Apparently, the one mater disposed of before adjournmen t w a s the appointment of a committee "to bee assistant to the governor--to Consi d e r of and to draw up an answer to the twenty-seven queries sent from the Lo r d o f His Majesty's most Honorable Privy Council, to this Colony, and return wha t t h ey draw up to this Assembly for their consideration and approbation". T h i s committee of Governor's Assistants numbered seventeen Deputies, includ i n g the Deputy Governor, Mr. Peleg Tripp, Captain John Greene, and Capt a i n John Foanes.
Governor Cranston, however, was soon to be beyon d t h e need of assistants. On the very next day the records show him " B y G od's Providence, So vested with sickness that he is detained from the Asse m b ly". Matters "of great concern to this Colony, for which the Assembly wa s c a lled, that are of necessity to be resolved by the Assembly" demanding immed i a te attention, the Deputy Govenor was appointed interim Moderator.
After a four day interval, that is on the fiftee n t h of March, "The Assembly called and sat". Its one order of business w a s t o vote adjournment for the day in order to attend the funeral of Governor J o h n Cranston.
But the business of the Assembly was pressing. O n t h e next day, therefore, Major Peleg Sanford was "chosen Governor and e n g aged in open Assembly."
After the new governor was duly chosen moderato r , i t was voted: "The Deputy Governor, Captain Arthur Fenner, Mr. John Coggesha l l , Captain Randall Howlden, Mr. Peleg Tripp and John Sanford are chosen a Co m m ittee to Go to Mrs. Mary Cranston, widow of our late deceased, honored Gover n o r Cranston, esquire, for the charter and all other writings belonging to the C o l ony, that were in the late Governor Cranston's custody, and have power to g i v e the said Mrs. Cranston a full discharge in behalf of this Assembly fo r w h at they receive; who are to Return the same to this assembly forthwith".
At the expiration of the "forthwith" period, i t w a s voted that the Committee, having returned to the Assembly the charte r a n d other articles, "this Assembly have received them; and they are in this p r e sent assembly delivered to the present Governor's custody". This gets t h e m, formally, out of the Assembly's care.
On the twenty-ninth of June, 1686, Mr. Peleg Tri p p a gain sitting in the Assembly for the town of Portsmouth (with Mr. John Cogges h a ll, Mr. William Wodell and Mr. Robert Hodgson) the Assembly considere d a w r it of "Quo Warranto" from His Majesty. "This Assembly" the records say, "upo n t h e serious consideration of the above said premise, do hereby orde r , p ublish and declare that they have determined not to stand suit with His Maje s t y, but to proceed by our humble address to his Majesty to continue our privile g e s and liberties according to our charter, formerly granted by his late Ma j e sty, Charles the Second, of blessed memory." Whereupon the assembly orde r e d that this act should be published "forthwith" in three "convenient places fo r t h at end", in Newport, "and the same to be done by the Recorder, with the Gene r a l and Town Sergeant, and the beat of the drum".
Later, it was voted: "That a Committee be chose n a n d empowered by this Assembly, they or the major part of them, on this Colon y ' s behalf, to draw up our humble address to his Majesty our Sovereign Lord, t h e K ing, and to take speedy and effectual care for the safe conveyance there o f b y way of Boston and York. And also to procure a messenger as soon as they c a n , to go for "England; and to draw up letters to the Governor of Yor k , t o President Dudley, and to Esquire Randolph."
The persons chosen and empowered are: "our Honor e d G overnor and Deputy Governor, for Newport; Mr. Joseph Jencks, for Providenc e ; M r. Peleg Tripp and the Recorder, for Portsmouth; Major John Green, for Warwi c k ."
The importance of the subject matter and the stand i n g of the other members of the Committee, with the added fact that Pele g T r ipp was chosen when John Coggeshall was available, are an earnest of the est e e m and confidence reposed in Peleg Tripp, the second son of John of Portsmo u t h.
Born near 1642, at Portsmouth, Peleg early bough t f r om his father one-fourth of the tract which John had from John Alden. T h u s, he became also "of Dartmouth", on the eighth of September, 1665. In so m e w ay, the vital records of his immediate descendants were destroyed, so that we m u s t depend chiefly for these upon his will, made in 1713, and proved Februar y 8 , 1 714
Peleg married Anne Sisson, who brought him nine ch i l dren. His will names first his son Job. In order, follow Priscilla Tripp; Sa r a R ogers; Peleg Tripp; Daughter in-law Sara Tripp; daughters Mary Smith, Anne Ro g e rs and Mehitable Thurston; son Richard, who with Anne Rogers received la n d i n Portsmouth. Anne, the widow, received the dwelling house and one th i r d "of great orchard for life and my garden and L18 yearly for life paid by my s o n J ob." This favored son received "rest of land where I dwell, he paying rents a n d l egacies and at death of wife he to have other land", etc. Fourteen acres of l a n d were added to the orchard provision for the widow, Anne.

That Good government was coming to be a part o f t h e daily task of John Tripp's sons, as the years passed, their records attes t . T he Tripps, being "Gentlemen", of course married, at first, strictly with i n t heir class. The Founder, although a carpenter, must have had means, a s t h e English idea of a "Gentleman" included also the possession of sufficient mo n e y to live as befitted his social position. The ancestral wills too, show the po s s ession of many estates.
Peleg's descendants took over an entire County alm o s t, very early and later produced a candidate for the Presidency of th e U n ited States, Warren G. Harding, elected twice to that office. Moreover, a s o n o f the first Tripp- Harding alliance married back into the Tripp blood; Bock: (Austin 208; Randall, James Tripp 5-7).

General Notes for Child Jonathan Paine
[mytree.FTW]
"A record of Jonathan Paine (grandfather of Thatcher's)"...February 8, 1753 a bill of sale fo r 'old Moll' a Negro woman about whom there has been so much controversy. A few years earlier , a distinguished citizen of Truro, Jonathan Paine, sold his negro Hector to Benjamin Collin s for thirty pounds. Hector, we are told lived to be an old man and became something of a loc al celebrity--his name being given to such places as Hector's Nook and Hector's Stubble, spot s which were once well known to Truro men. Paine had a less happy experience with another slave, a negro named Pomp, who was kidnapped f rom the Congo by the crew of a Truro whaler and sold to Paine at the end of the voyage. The p oor fellow never became reconciled to his new way of life. The bleak shores of Truro supporte d no vast plantations where a hundred darkies worked by day and found solace in singing wol d melodies together at twilight. Pomp suffered silently until lonliness conquered and he hang ed himself to the limb of a tree. Library of Cape Cod History & Genealogy Pamphlet No. 70, by Shebnah Rich, states: I think th e ancestor of all the Paines now in Truro except the Elkanah branch.He was prominent in the t own affairs; inherited most of the land owned by his father at Longnook. It was an infirmit y to this family never to sell the land; it continued largely in the hands of the descendant s for many generations, and to this day considerable of the land bought by Thomas Paine, of o ne eye, of the Indians, 1670 is still Paine property. His house has been mentioned as now bel onging to John Atkins. Of seven children I will mention Jonathan, Daniel and Hannah, the las t b. 1714 married Anthony Snow, 1731.
