Jeremiah Tripp Jr.

I am looking for info on my great great great grandfather Jeremiah Tripp Jr. 1830-1865. I am at a dead end with his mother Patience York. His father was Jeremiah Tripp son of Silas Tripp.

I have been told many times that an Indian connection might have come into the family threw Patience York. Can't find her father or mother. Would appreciate any help.

Jeremiah Tripp Jr. died in civil war battle in virginia. Battle of Antietam, Battle of Ford Steadman. I have found a picture of him and his head stone in virginia cemetary.

Comment by Nancy Lecompte on January 16, 2012 at 12:10pm: Raymond Maine Families by Robert Taylor says she was PERHAPS the d/o Stephen York & Sarah Strout. This work is all unsourced and he offers no reason why he thinks this - so tread with caution.

Concerning Indians - Tripp, Strout, Verrill, Cobb, Chipman, Thurlow, Edwards - these families intertwine frequently over multiply generations and they all have rumors of "Indians" in the tree. Just where it might come from is a great mystery. One of these families is my own and I have been searching for years, but have yet to find anything concrete to support the stories. If it is there, it appears to be way back in the 1600s. Perhaps it is in the Tripp, Thurlow, or Edwards family lines, but I at this point I am not convinced the stories are true.
