NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.
Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links.

NOTE: John is sometimes shown with a middle initial "B". This appears to have been taken from records at the South Carolina Department of Archives & History. The records for children of John & Martha show Martha S & John B (their marriages are included). However, the same records printed in the South Carolina Historical & Genealogical Magazine, Vol.23, published 1922, show them as Martha spin & John bach. It now seems certain that the B & S refer to Bach & Spin.

Elizabeth (widow Grieve, formerly widow Bell)
Elizabeth was a widow of Lady's Island when she married John Fripp III
John's 2nd marriage. (Ancestry.com)
FRIPP, John of St. Helena Island, planter, & Elizth. Grive of Lady's Island, Parish of St. Helena, widow, 23 Sep 1776; Thomas Bell of Lady's Island, Trustee; G. Christie, Eliz. Tobias, wit. Misc. Rec. RR: 368-371She appears to be Elizabeth Bell, a widow of Lady's Island, who married Joseph Grieve 22 March 1770. The marriage was witnessed by Allen and David McKee, who may have been children of John Fripp's sister Mary. See notes for Mary, wife of David McKee. (Not Mary, sister of John Fripp III, although could be.)
John Fripp Jr died in 1739, 3 years before his father, aged about 35. He left no will, but his father's will shows that John Jr had 3 sons; John, William & Paul, and several unnamed daughters. See John Fripp Snr.'s notes for full details.

Wit; Joseph Wright, John Frip, James Reynolds(Runnells). Before Thomas Wigg, J.P.
FRIPP 2nd Generation John Fripp, Jr. was the only child of John and Sarah Fripp. He was born about 1700 and died December 2, 1739, on St. Helena, where he was a planter. His wife, Martha, died there in 1740. He left no will and his estate was administered by the Probate Court in Charleston. Vol. XXIII, p. 67 for both husband and wife.
To John Fripp, Jr. and his wife Martha were born the following children:
Sarah Fripp, b. October 26, 1726
Martha b. May 31,1728 married Isaac Waight
John Fripp of St. Helena , Planter, b. March 15, 1729, baptised August 3, 1730. He married Elizabeth Hand on April 19, 1747. She was was born on St. Helena, November 22, 1725 and baptised April 18,1728, the daughter of John and Martha Hand. After the death of John Hand, his widow married John Edwards of Edisto who left a will by which he bequeathed most of his estate to his wife and her daughter Elizabeth, the wife of John Fripp. After the death of his wife, Elizabeth Hand, John Fripp married Elizabeth Grive, widow, of Lady’s Island as shown by marriage contract dated September 20, 1776. His will (John Fripp III) was dated July 27,1780 and proven September 8, 1781. It made special bequests of 34 negro slaves and 1170 acres of land. Five hundred pounds were left to the building of the Chapel on St. Helena Island and the balance of estate to his seven youngest children. SC Hist. Mag; Probate Ct. book 1747-52 pg.200; St Phillips Register; Will Book Charleston 1740-47 pg 180He married Martha, probably Jenkins, and had seven children. For names, births, etc., see S. C. Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol.23, p. 66-67.
Martha Jenkins (or Hamilton or Elmes)
Martha's surname appears to be widely accepted as Jenkins, although other trees show her name as Elmes. As no official record of John Jr's marriage has been found, it is equally possible that her name could have been Hamilton.
The SCHS Vol. 13, p.67 states that John Junior's widow, MARY, married Thomas Hall. This has been previously assumed to be misread and should read MARTHA, as all their children are listed as children of John Junr. and MARTHA. To confuse matters, Thomas' entry for the same date says he married MARTHA Fripp, widow of St. Helena Island.
Edgar Allen Fripp III has a tree that shows John Junr. married to Mary Elizabeth Edwards. Further investigation is underway.
After the death of John Hand, his widow married John Edwards of Edisto who left a will by which he bequeathed most of his estate to his wife and her daughter Elizabeth, the wife of John Fripp.
John Fripp of St. Helena , Planter, b. March 15, 1729, baptised August 3, 1730. He married Elizabeth Hand on April 19, 1747. She was was born on St. Helena, November 22, 1725 and baptised April 18,1728, the daughter of John and Martha Hand.
