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 "Pulaski" disaster 14th June 1838
The steam ship "Pulaski" left Charleston for Baltimore with about 150 passengers, of whom about 50 were ladies. About 11 o'clock that night while off the NC coast 30 miles the boiler exploded and the vessel was lost. Three boats were launched, but one quickly sunk. Mr. Hibberd, the 1st mate finally landed the two surviving boats on a beach east of Stump Inlet.
Mr. Cooper from Ga commanded the other boat. There were 11 in the Mate's boat, including 2 black women. Of these two passengers, one of the crew, and the Negro women were drowned in making the landing. With the help of these survivors, Mr. Cooper's boat landed safely. They proceeded a short distance across Stump Sound to Mr. Reed's on Onslow Co. where they remained from Friday evening and started for Wilmington on Sunday.

DEATH: Headstone at 2141 Meggett Point Road on North shore of Bailey's Creek, Edisto Island, South Carolina
Information received from Lenoir LaRoche Roberts, quoted from "LaRoche Family" by Joseph LaRoche Rivers.
EDWARD RIPPON, a weaver of Edisto Island, married the second time to a daughter of Joseph Farley. Their son, Edward Rippon, Jr. (d. 1757) married Ann _____ and they were the parents of Elizabeth, Isaac, and Martha Rippon. Edward, Jr. left a will (dtd. Jan. 18, 1755 and proved Dec. 19, 1757) mentioning that he was of Edisto, his wife was Ann, and children were Elizabeth, who married a Smelie, Isaac, and Martha Jenkins. After her husband Richard Jenkins (1730-1772) died, Martha married Thomas Hanahan. (Ref. E. Stanley Barnhill collection, South Carolina Historical Society, file 28-681).
Lenoir's research indicates that Edward was in the weaving business and had many "helpers" actually doing the work. He was the owner or proprietor of the business.
Lenoir is a descendant of Martha Rippon and Richard Jenkins.
