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: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You can use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically excluded, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

The Fripp family of South Carolina

Notes

Randolph, Randall or George Evans

Some sources say the father of John Evans Sr. is Randall or Randolph, but he is named as George in a book published in 1996 titled "The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina" by Lawrence Sanders Rowland, Alexander Moore & George C. Rogers, Jr.

It says that John Evans Jr. of St. Helena Island (1748-1775) was the son of John and Elizabeth Evans and the grandson of George Evans who had immigrated to Charleston from the West Indies in 1703.

It also says that John Evans Sr.'s move to St. Helena Island during the 1730s was probably encouraged by his brother-in-law, Colonel Thomas Wigg.

Proof of his true identity is currently being sought.

A Randall Evans arrived at Port Royal in the First Fleet, aboard "The Blessing" in August 1671. It is unlikely that he is the father of John Evans Sr., but could be an ancestor.

A Randall Evans is also mentioned in "The Statutes at Large of South Carolina" by South Carolina, David James McCord, Thomas Cooper, among a list of "nominated inquirers" to a Land Tax introduced in 1731. The names listed for St Helena are; Mr. Joseph Bryan, Mr. William Hazard, senior, Mr. Nathaniel Barnwell, Mr. Randall Evans and Mr. John Frip, senior.

However, there are at least 10 records of Land Grants between 1711-1740 held at the South Carolina Department of Arhives & History.
