The book "Tombee" also has a daughter Ann Chaplin Fripp, but she is not shown in the bible of William & Eliza. It is possible that she was a child of William's second wife. However, she is not shown on the 1850 or 60 census below.

South Carolina Historical & Genealogical Magazine Vol xxxiv no 2 April, 1932:
Doctor Berners Barnwell Sams/ who was born on the 26th of May A.D. 1787/ and departed this life on the 16th of March A.D. 1855
Mrs. Elizabeth Hann Sams/ who departed this life on the 16th of March 1831/ aged 35 years 5 months and 26th days/
NOTE: If Elizabeth's date of birth is calculated using the above it gives her birth as 20 Sep 1795. This is 10 years different to her other source also in SCHGM, which has birth 19 Oct 1785 and bap 3 Sep 1786, both on St. Helena Island, Beaufort, SC.
It is noted that Thomas' brother, William, had a son Thomas Hann Fripp, who was baptised on the same day (3 Sep 1786), so this would appear to be correct. Perhaps Elizabeth Hann was baptised in 1786, but died in infancy, then another was born 10 years later.
It is also possible that her parents were Thomas Fripp and Martha FRIPP.

Some reports show Hamilton died 1840.

Fripp, Henrietta Caroline, Da. of Hamilton & Elizabeth
Fripp, Hamilton, Sn. of Hamilton & Elizabeth, bapt. Fer'ry 21, 1809The entries are followed with a comment "To be continued"
THOUGHTS:
1, The first child could be John McKee Fripp, although if the entries are in chronological order, the date of birth would be wrong.
2, Caroline could have been misread for Seraphine.
3, Father may have added or dropped the name "John" at some time.1830 Census (1st June): St Helena Parish, South Carolina

NOTE: No females shown, so wife was probably deceased and Eliza & Harriett possibly married.
John was better known by his middle name, Hamilton Fripp, but it is not known who he inherited this name from. The maiden name of his grandmother, Martha, seems to be accepted as JENKINS, even though her marriage to John Fripp Jr has never been found. Some trees also give her maiden name as Elmes. However, it seems equally plausible that her maiden name could have been HAMILTON.
