Much of this information has as its source my late paternal
grandfather, James Chisolm Tison, Jr. This work began with
the simple intent to reproduce a document in his unmistakable
handwriting that reveals all of the information about the
FRIPP lineage, and most of the detailed information about
the TISON lineage beyond the 7th generation, originally
written in 1984. The section "Concluding Notes" in the Fripp
lineage are his, and his sources for this section are unknown.
Items in square brackets were added by me for clarification;
otherwise I have tried to remain as faithful to his original
verbiage and grammar as possible. The notes in the Tison lineage were brought up to date by me in September 2001. Additional information about the first through seventh TISON generations were provided by my father, James Sinkler Tison, as were the original bases for research of the Sinkler and McKenzie lines. This is a work in progress. As of this writing, I have serious work to do on the Sinkler/Keith and McKenzie lines. This document is placed in the public domain. This work is dedicated to my late brother, Richard Garner Tison, who left this earth in 2000 far too young, and quite needlessly.

1. Fripp Lineage
1.1 FRIPP First Generation John Fripp was born in Wales and came to Carolina from England sometime between 1670 and 1690. One brother, William Fripp, remained in England. In 1695 he was awarded Fripp Island [SC] by King William III of England (reigned 1689-1702) for service as a privateer against Spanish Ships in the New World. Both Fripp Island and Fripp Inlet are named for him. The Island is said to have been the favorite hiding place of the pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach of Bristol, England) and he is thought to have buried much treasure there. Also, it is claimed that Count Pulaski of Revolutionary fame was buried on the Island. In the Fripp family there are tales indicating that John Fripp may have secretly furnished supplies to outlaws via Fripp Island and Inlet. No records exist of houses on the Island other than a small frame structure "old house" said to have been used as a summer place by members of the Fripp family. In 1695 Governor Smith granted one Richard Benett of "ffrips Island" a mark for cattle and hogs.
In 1690, John Fripp was living on St. Helena and in 1696 purchased a plantation on Edisto Island [SC] and registered his stock mark from there on May 12, 1699. On March 12, 1699 after extensive litigation he was awarded the right to administration of the estate of Richard Frampton and guardianship of his minor children. His wife, Sarah, was probably Frampton's daughter. In 1702 he served as High Sheriff of Colleton County and on June 12, 1714 an Act was passed by the Assembly authorizing the laying out of a road from John Fripp's place on Edisto to Wilton. Records show he owned about 500 acres on Edisto and 1000 on St. Helena [SC]. He also owned Fripp and Hunting Islands.([footnote] Hunting Island is now a South Carolina State Park.) His will was dated May 1, 1742 and proven August 12, 1743. It mentions his wife Sarah, his son John Fripp, Jr. "lately deceased" and his grandsons John, William and Paul, who inherited his property. The St. Helena Parish Register estimates his age at death as 61, but he was at least 69 when he died on St. Helena and was buried May 29, 1742. Sarah Fripp died and was buried on St. Helena January 9, 1756.
In 1836, William Fripp of Beaufort [SC] corresponded with a cousin, Edward B. Fripp, Mayor of Bristol, England, and at that time a William Fripp also lived in Bristol and a W. C. Fripp, and a W. C. Fripp, Jr., in London. The latter was connected with the London Graphic. About 1930 a Sir Alfred Fripp lived in Liverpool.

1.6 FRIPP Sixth Generation (1829-1859) Thomas Benjamin Fripp, 3rd child of William B. and Elizabeth Chaplin Fripp, was born on St. Helena in 1829. On April 15, 1853 he married Ellen Louise Chisolm of Johns Island [SC], daughter of Samuel Prioleau Chisolm and Martha Chaplin. He owned a plantation on St. Helena which was confiscated and sold to Negroes during the Civil War. He was Captain of Light Dragoons in that war, served under General Robert E. Lee, then was killed at Bee's Creek near Coosawhatchie Courthouse, SC in 1862. His wife and 3 small children had fled St. Helena([footnote] See Concluding Notes.) in 1861 to refugee at his brother's plantation, Chelsea. Ellen Chisolm Fripp died on March 15, 1894.
The children of Thomas Benjamin and Ellen Chisolm Fripp were:
1. Edward Alonzo Fripp, who married Hattie Folk (1873-1959) and lived in Furman, SC. They had three children: a daughter, Florence, who married W. C. Patrick, a son, Edward A. Fripp, and another son Hugh M. Fripp. Edward Alonzo Fripp, the father, attended Dr. Porter's Academy in Charleston.
2. Martha Leila Fripp (1856-1912). Buried [in] Grahamville [SC] Cemetery.
3. Arthur Herbert Fripp (1859-1926).
John Edwin Fripp (1831-1906), a brother of Thomas Benjamin Fripp, married Isabell Jenkins, daughter of Benjamin Jenkins. She was very beautiful. In 1856 he purchased the Chechessee Bluff plantation of 560 acres on Okatee Creek across the Broad River from Beaufort and moved there with 75 slaves from his St. Helena plantation, Lonesome Hill, which he kept until the Civil War. He and his family maintained a close relationship with the family of his deceased brother, Thomas Benjamin. John Edwin Fripp is buried at Talwin Grove, Okatee.
Children of John Edwin Fripp and Isabell Jenkins:
1. Mary Fripp (died young).
2. Julian J. Fripp (1891 - ? ). In 1891 married Lillie Jenkins, daughter of William Jenkins and Mary Elizabeth Chaplin, widow of Edwin C. Van Ness. They had one child, a daughter, Isabel, b. 1892.
3. Edgar Walter Fripp. He was a minor in 1861 and had previously inherited a Fripp plantation of 1248 acres on St. Helena Island. On it is a well-known Fripp house built about 1800 (builder unknown) which still stands in 1983. At the beginning of the Civil War, Union troops moved in to "safeguard" the property. Early in 1892 Edgar was able to legally regain 732 acres of his original inheritance, including the house, and lived there for more than 20 years until he sold the place for a hunting preserve. He married twice, (1) [?] Ellis, and (2) Martha, daughter of Daniel and Ann LaRoche Jenkins. She was a first cousin of Lillie Jenkins who married his brother Julian J. Fripp. Edgar died in 1930 and left one son, Edgar, who married Mary Dougan. He died at Burton, SC in 1960 and left three sons, all of whom went to California. Edgar Walter was one of only three pre-War families able to redeem land on St. Helena and the last of them to own property there. Thus the Fripps, who prior to 1861 owned a major portion of the Island, exited St. Helena.
4. Florence W. Fripp (1859-1867).
5. Daniel P. Fripp (1860-1933), bachelor. As a young man he suffered a severe sunstroke, which affected his mind. Always in a good humor, he was beloved by children, was an avid reader of the Bible and the [Episcopal] Book of Common Prayer, and on Sundays usually kept to himself, quoting long passages and Psalms in a loud voice.
6. Thomas S. Fripp (1864-1909), bachelor.
7. Ellen Fripp (1867-1924), spinster. She was a very strong character who managed and ran the Bluff Plantation after her father's death and in general acted as head of the family.
8. Charles B. Fripp (1870-1960), bachelor.
9. Robert Lee Fripp (1872-1925). Married Nellie Hasell late in life and adopted three children.
10. Alice L. Fripp (1875-1930), spinster.
After the deaths of Alice and Daniel the Chechessee Bluff plantation was split up into small tracts and sold for summer houses.
William Paul Fripp, youngest child of William B. Fripp, was born in 1835 and died in 1914. He attended the University of Virginia and served in the Confederate Army. He married a second cousin, Martha Fripp, daughter of Captain John Fripp (1790-1865) and his first wife, Caroline Chaplin (1794-1836), and a niece of "Good" William Fripp who died in 1860. Captain John Fripp was one of the wealthiest landowners in the District and was a Union sympathizer. He was noted for humane treatment of his slaves and before he left St. Helena in 1861 briefed them on the consequences of "freedom" and advised them what to expect and how to act in his absence. He died in Columbia.
Prior to the Civil War, William Paul purchased a large plantation, "Chelsea", on Hazzards Creek across the Broad River from Beaufort and near the Bluff plantation of his brother, John Edwin Fripp. The wife of his brother Thomas B. Fripp fled here with her three children when she left St. Helena late in 1861. After the Civil War, William Paul lost Chelsea and was only able to salvage a small part of the estate consisting of land on Bellinger Neck and Lemon Island. Before World War II, Chelsea became the property of Marshall Field of Chicago.([footnote] Today, the small hamlet of Chelsea occupies this location. Not very far away, about a half-mile south of the location of Bellinger's Neck, lies a place called "Fripps Landing" at the intersection of SSR 27 and Old Fripps Road.)
Children of William Paul and Martha Fripp were:
1. William J. Fripp (1857-1934). Married Julia Munson (1849-1918), lived in Bluffton, SC and left two children, Elmer and Ethel, both of whom married but had no children.
2. Lewis Fripp (1859-1947). Married Florence Jenkins, daughter of Dr. William Jenkins and Mary Eliza Chaplin and sister of Lillie Jenkins who married Lewis' first cousin Julian J. Fripp. Her first cousin, Martha (Mattie) Jenkins married Edgar Walter Fripp, another first cousin of Lewis Fripp. Lewis lived on Bellinger Neck on property inherited from his father and had two sons: Lewis R. (1891-????) and Edna, neither of whom had sons. After the death of his wife he became a hermit and lived as one.
3. Joseph Fripp (????-????), bachelor.
4. Marion Horry Fripp (????-????). Married Gwendolyn Mustard. He too lived on Bellinger Neck near his brothers Joseph and Lewis, and had three children: (a) Horry, who married Helen Ingram, and had one child, a son, Horry; (b) Lucille, who married Edward Horry of Grahamville and had several children; and (c) Dorothy, who married a Mr. Lewis.
5. Alfred Fripp (1875-1957) married Sallie Williams and lived in Bluffton. They had one daughter, Imogene, who married H. O. Lowden and has a daughter, Imogene.
6. Archibald ("Archie") Fripp who married Violet Morehouse and died in 1948.

1.8 Concluding Note On November 6, 1861, 45 Federal steamers and gunboats were counted outside Port Royal Sound. The planters and people of Beaufort could not conceive of any military strategy that would make possession of the area important to the enemy, and assumed that the fleet had come to take Charleston and would pass on by. At dawn on November 7, however, the armada advanced upon the two forts guarding the Sound's entrance: Fort Beauregard at Bay Point on Edding's Island, and Fort Walker on Hilton Head Island. By mid-afternoon the Confederate forces were in retreat and left the Sea Islands in possession of the Federal Army during the remainder of the War.
When word spread that Beaufort was actually to be attacked, the confusion was overwhelming. Women hastily gathered clothes and prepared their children for flight to the mainland, while husbands present got ready flats and boats for the trip. They took with them only the most urgently needed house servants, nurses, and cooks, and had little time or space for family heirlooms or valuables. Houses and fields were left just as they were and slaves were instructed to remain at work under their drivers until their return. To add to the confusion, the blacks were completely demoralized from fear because of the "big shoot" and many hid rather than help man the flats and boats. By evening not a white person of Confederate sympathies could be found at Beaufort or on the plantations in the general vicinity.
In Charleston, the unpremeditated flight was severely criticized, people declaring that the planters should have at least taken time to destroy crops.
It is interesting to speculate what might have resulted if the planters' families had remained to weather the Federal occupation. It seems not impossible that families such as the Fripps on St. Helena might have fared much better had they done so.
General W[illiam] T[ecumseh] Sherman, in charge of the "Expeditionary Corps" arriving at Port Royal, wrote: "The effect of this victory is startling. Every white inhabitant has left the Island. The wealthy islands of St. Helena, Ladies', and most of Port Royal are abandoned by the whites, and the beautiful estates of the planters, with all their immense property, left to the pillage of hoards of apparently disaffected blacks."

2. Tison Lineage
About half of the information in this section was written by James Chisolm Tison, Jr. in 1984. James Sinkler Tison provided a brief direct descendency chart. I was assisted greatly by a July 2001 survey of the Black Swamp Cemetery taken by Ann Baker. There are three remaining generations of TISONs still living. Reference to them was removed in a November 2002 edit at the request of Mr. Bean.

2.1 TISON First Generation Cornelius Tison (Tyson?), b. Krefeld, Germany in 1652, d. 1716 at Germantown, PA. Said to have arrived with William Penn at Philadelphia, circa 1685, and was one of the founders of Germantown, PA. Had a brother, Reynier, who preceded him here by a year or two. Most records indicate that he had a son named Mattheis (1682-1766) who remained in Germantown, PA, and was the second generation of a long line of traceable Tysons in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and elsewhere.
Records provided from within the family seem to indicate that Cornelius went to Bath County (now Hyde County), NC, and married a "Miss Mathias" there. However, publically available records contradict this, indicating that he remained in Germantown, PA until his death.
Is it possible that our family records have identified the wrong Cornelius Tison? Cornelius was a very common given name of the era. Or is it possible that we are not descended from the Krefeld Tisons at all? Some of the Tisons who went to PA did indeed migrate to NC, however, there is a Tyson branch founded in Eastern NC in about this era who now recognize that they did not spring from Cornelius. I can't help but wonder if our line, too, came from some other Tison.

2.2 TISON Second Generation Moses Tison (???? - ????).
No record of Cornelius ever having had a son named Moses can be found. Will start researching here soon. It could well be possible that Moses did indeed exist; but came from other parentage.

2.3 TISON Third Generation Aaron Tison (16?? - 1710).
Many Aaron Tisons are found in both PA and NC; however, none of them even approximate this date of death.
Back to Contents
2.4 TISON Fourth Generation John Tison, Sr. (????-????). Married a "Miss Leath" at Hyde County, NC.
Public court records in Craven County, NC (New Bern) indicate that an arrest warrant and indictment were issued against him in August or September 1777 for sedition. He reportedly was drinking in a tavern, loudly complaining about conscription practices of the Colonial Army, and offered a toast to the health of King George III and to the success of the British. No further disposition of this case is found.

2.5 TISON Fifth Generation John Tison (1767-1804). Married Elizabeth Stafford. NOTE: I have found corroborrating evidence of this marriage in some Stafford records. I presently have an inquiry in for any further information. Date of the marriage, names of offspring are still unknown.

He built Mistletoe Grove Plantation in 1852 near Brighton, Hampton County, SC, and is reported to have led the Black Swamp Methodist Church, Garnett, SC. NOTE: The McCormick book should provide details about this union and its issue.
