From Family Bible of William B. Fripp, 1835 Issue
Courtesey of Virginia Fripp-Whatley-Shaffer, via Ed A. Fripp IIIEdgar Walter Fripp, son of John E. and Isabella P Fripp. Born on 16th July, 1857
Baptized by the Rev. Wm Johnson on St Helena
Notes from James Tison:
Edgar Walter Fripp was a minor in 1861 and had previously inherited a Fripp plantation of 1,248 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) Lilly 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.

She was reported today as resting as well as could be expected.
Mr. Fripp was one of Beaufort counties most successful farmers, having followed farming his entire life. In the death of Mr. Fripp, Beaufort has lost one of her oldest and most beloved citizens.
