Most trees show that Edward married Mary Meriwether about 1649/1652. These appear to based upon research by Charles Steuart Betton (1869-1937), who produced a chart in 1914 entitled “Some Descendants of Edward Fripp , Gent, of Chitterne, Wiltshire 1638 (North West migration)".
However, his chart only shows the surname "Meriwether" in brackets with a question mark. He notes that Edward's will, dated 4 Nov 1680, mentions Christopher Meriwether as his brother-in-law, and also mentions a sister Meriwether, both of Warminster. Charles concludes that Christopher Meriwether was either a brother of Mary (Edward's wife) or a husband of Edward's sister.
It seems most likely that Christopher married a sister of Edward. No record of Edward's marriage to Mary Meriwether has been found, but he is almost certainly the gent who married Mary Crouch at Heytesbury in 1642. Heytesbury is only 4 miles from Chitterne, and he had freehold land there in 1638. It is also possible that Mary Crouch died shortly after the marriage, and Edward then married Mary Meriwether.
Any evidence would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: According to C.S. Betton, the parish registers for Chitterne do not start until 1653.
TIMELINE:
c.1615 - Approximated birth, probably in or near Chitterne, Wiltshire
1638 - Edrus Frippe of Chitterne, Wilts. had freehold land in Heytesbury, where he also purchased mill & premises at £34 p.a. (C.S. Betton)
11 May 1640 - of Chitterne "did ingrosse the indenture between Sir Ralph Hopton Kt. and Sir John Windham. "Hee being at that tyme servant to Hugh Windham Esq, who was misloyal"... (C.S. Betton)
25 Nov 1642 - Marriage to Mary Crouch at Heytesbury, Wiltshire
29 Nov 1650 - Gent of Chitterne, deposes to the above indenture (C.S. Betton presumes he was a Royalist)
1651 - Licence granted to dig clay from Chitterne clay pits (with partner, Christopher Merewether)
1653 - Proved (PCC) will of his friend, Thos. Carter, of Cliffords Inn, London, gent also of Warminster. (C.S. Betton)
1658 - of Chitterne (C.S.B. notes "probably of Chitterne All Saints, now combined with Chitterne St Mary")
1665/6 - of Boreham (nr Warminster) Lease of land at Fair Close, Norton St. Philip
1675 - of Norton St. Philip - Had Leasehold lands. (C.S. Betton)
4 Nov 1680 - of Norton St. Philip - made his will - mentions brother-in-law, Christopher Meriwether, gent & sister Meriwether, of Warminster.
3 Dec 1680 - buried at Norton St. Philip "Mr Edward ffripp Se. (senior)
16 Apr 1681 - Will for (Wells) - Styled "Gent" in inventory. Total valued at £613-12s-0d. (12 Oxen £48; 20 Cows £55; 100 Sheep £45; Silver Plate £8)C.S. Betton notes that the signature on the 1650 deposition is identical to the signature on his will, although less shaky.
Another early Fripp researcher made notes mentioning a Fromond Fripp of the parish of Foxcote/Fosket in Somerset. His son was Froymond who is mentioned in the Wellow register in 1612. His unnamed son had 3 sons, Edward, Oliver and Robert. This Edward was said to have married Mary Merewhether. However, the research by C.S. Betton throws cold water on the previous mention of a Fromont/Froymond Fripp, saying that the name was misread.
Perhaps Charles Betton should not have discounted this information, as Foxcote is where Edward Phripp married Mrs Betty Bull in 1715. Edward & Betty were parents of Samuel Fripp the soap and candle manufacturer of Bristol.
Charles Betton also mentions a John Frippe 1496 as occurring in Inquisition re. Bratton, Wiltshire, 7 miles NW of Chitterne.
Marriage details:
25 Nov 1642, Heytesbury, Wiltshire (4 miles from Chitterne)
Groom: Edward Fripp, aged 28, Gent, of Heytesbury, Wiltshire

MARY Correspondence and miscellaneous papers
ref. 947/1456 date: 1651Details from a bond for the keeping of covenants in a licence granted for one year by Lord Henry Powlett of The Grange, near Farnborough, Hants., to Christopher Merewether and Edward Fripp, both of Chitterne, to dig thirty loads of clay from the clay pits on Chitterne St. Mary Down to make into tobacco pipes, they having paid him £10 for the licence, and to pay him eight gross of pipes to be delivered at The Angel in Andover. According to Canner, "the hill called Clay Pits is the place where the best clay in England is to be found for the manufacturing of tobacco pipes." He further says that, "in the seventeenth century it was dug and carted to Amesbury and used by the firm of Gauntlett for the above purpose."
Fuller says, "the best for shape and colour are made at Amesbury. They may be called chimneys portable in pockets the one end being the hearth, the other the tunnel thereof. Gauntlett pipes which have the mark on the heel are best."These clay pits were quite shallow and are now just visible as small depressions on the West side of Clay Pit Clump. A small square of trees about a mile South of Chitterne St Mary. The Manor house is said to be built of bricks made from the clay. The existing footpath is supposed to follow the route that was used to cart the clay away towards Amesbury back in those days.

An article with details of Edward's lease of land at Noton St Philp can be found hereIt mentions that, in 1666, Sir Edward Hungerford held two manors, at Norton St Philip; Norton Grange and the moiety of the lands previously belonging to it, including Fair Close, were leased to Edward Fripp for the lives of his three sons Edward, Richard and Benjamin for 99 years. In 1681 (after Edward's death) the property was assigned to Benjamin for the remainder of the term. Subsequently Benjamin Fripp was declared a bankrupt and in 1706 his estate was mortgaged or sold.
A copy of the Indenture of lease is in the Chancery Proceeding, PRO C 5/320. Edward Fripp came originally from Chitterne, Wilts. but was described as of Boreham (near Warminster) Wilts.
In 1706 two members of the Bussell family, Nathaniell and Philip described as fullers, were made responsible for settling the affairs of Benjamine Fripp, a bankrupt clothier of Norton St Philip (PRO C 8/481/32).
Some of Benjamine Fripp’s estate was purchased by John Harding. (SRO DD/RG 7). After the bankruptcy in 1706 Benjamine Fripp migrated to Kinfair in Staffordshire.
Then, in 1737, Benjamin's son, Edward, became involved in a dispute started by John Harding, who was asking for a toll to be paid for street markets. The following year the toll (charged to a George Woolley) was paid for by Edward Fripp. In April 1739 Edward prevented John Harding from setting up his street booths, and started a rival fair at Norton St Philip for the sale of woollen stuffs and other goods. John Harding reacted by setting up tressles in front of Edward's house. The dispute was to be taken to court, but was still unsettled by 1753. However, John Harding's case notes are appended "Issue not Guilty".
The first extant announcements of Edward Fripp’s rival ‘new fair’, on a day or days that did not conflict with the established wholesale and retail fairs, is found in 1756 and 1772, of Fairs being held on 21 and 27 March. A marked drop in numbers from the first decades of the century to the 1740s appears to indicate that Fripp’s rival fair did attract a large number of traders, although many remained loyal to John Harding. However, it appears that Edward Fripp attracted virtually all the broad clothiers to his rival fair.
By the time of the 1739 dispute between Benjamins’s son Edward Fripp and John Harding, Fair Close was owned by Lord Kinsale, who died in 1759.
The article concludes that the fair Edward Fripp started, set the seeds of destruction both for itself and its rival. It started in 1739 and probably ended before Edward Fripp’s death in the 1750s.
The article also mentions a James FRIPP
In 1752 the Bath to Warminster turnpike road had been constructed, but the market place, with its cross, shambles and blind-house, was an impediment to the turnpike traffic. The Vestry meeting held on 26 June 1770 decided: We ... Do consent, provided the Shambles as Market House be first removed, and proper security be given in the Name of the Trustees of the Turnpike Commissioners held at Beckington, that the Cross and blind house in the Market place of our Town be erected in a Convenient place near where they now stand, to have the same Erected in as handsome and good Condition as they now are. We I say consent that the same be removed at the Expence of the Commissioners. ... And ... that Mr Tho. Pearce, Mr JAMES FRIPP and Mr John Kidle or two of them do set out the Convenient place above referred to.’
Most trees show that Edward married Mary Meriwether about 1649/1652. However, this appears to based upon research by Charles Steuart Betton (1869-1937). This was compiled in 1914, and entitled “Some Descendants of Edward Fripp , Gent, of Chitterne, Wiltshire 1638 (North West migration)".

He notes that Edward's will, dated 4 Nov 1680, mentions Christopher Meriwether as his brother-in-law, and also mentions a sister Meriwether, both of Warminster. Charles concludes that Christopher was either a brother of Mary (Edward's wife) or a husband of Edward's sister.
It seems most likely that Christopher married a sister of Edward. No record of Edward's marriage to Mary Meriwether has been found, but he is almost certainly the gent who married Mary Crouch at Heytesbury in 1642. Heytesbury is only 4 miles from Chitterne, and he had freehold land there in 1638. It is also possible that Mary Crouch died shortly after the marriage, and Edward then married Mary Meriwether.
C.S. Betton notes that a will (PCC) for Christopher Meriwether, Yeoman of Warminster, was proved 8 May 1701.
Any evidence would be greatly appreciated.

LADY FRIPP dies in London
The death has occurred in London of Lady Margaret Scott Fripp, who for many years lived at Lulworth and who was the wife of the late Sir Alfred Downing Fripp K.C.V.O., a surgeon to King George V. She was 85.
Until two years ago, when she moved to London, she had lived at Weston, Lulworth, where she had a large circle of friends.
She was the only daughter of the late Mr T.B. Haywood. She married in 1898 and her husband died in 1930.
Cremation is private and the funeral service will be at West Lulworth on March 19.AN APPRECIATION
David Dickson writes:
'Lady Fripp's death marks with characteristically quiet significance the passing of a notable life of happiness at Lulworth and Portland Place, in London.
Short in stature, dignified in nature, gentle and humorous in character, here was the heart which beat loudest at Weston where she lived, surrounded, as often as possible, by her large family and friends.
Accompanying her husband's ambulance unit to South Africa in the Boer War - hairpins being blown from her head by the slipstream of one of the Graham White's early aircraft - playing tennis (with a diabolical underhand serve) - swimming at Oswald - boating - walking with her dogs - talking to children - all these show the span of her loves and her life.
The family she leaves behind is her finest memorial.'
A portrait of Lady Fripp is held in the National Portrait gallery but is not currently on-line.
Recollections from Sarah Pearce (nee Dickson) who, as a child, grew up with the Fripp family:
Betty lived in Lulworth and was very involved with Baden-Powell's Girl Guides. She was a real character and loved children. She would give any child who swam across Lulworth Cove a silver lobster pick. She took her young relatives and god children to see Peter Pan every Christmas. She was godmother of one of Sarah's brothers.
Betty was especially skilled in the art of mackeral fishing. She taught us all to fish and loved to take us fishing in her boat. She was quite eccentric and was weather beaten, like a fisherman. She wore shorts and a handkerchief tied round her neck and round her waist - a make shift halter-neck - red silk with a sort of paisley pattern on it.
She lived at the Mill House, Weston and then the Lynches, where tennis was played every afternoon at 3.00. Of all the guests who stayed at Weston the most memorable would be Sir Lawrence Olivier and Vivienne Leigh, who spent the first night of their honeymoon there. They were, however, most put out to be woken up early the following morning by Betty!
