1936

F/.lilLY ORIGINS In thiE study of the ancestors of ray fnther'n parents, it hao been interesting: to note ho* in every in stance the lines have gone back into very early colonial tlses. #hile thirteen cf our ancestors vere passeavcerr- on the iiayouer, i^any others caxe tc this continent -"bat a f-hort time later. The Connecticut river valley soeas to have been an important factor in the livee of Pone of them, for itc rich fertile lands offered goor? hunting *rA fanning, trhile tee river itself ^ao a means of transportation and cctununication. The Locbard, Hall, and allied faniliec located in tnat area and lived there for sever.nl generations. b&tKeen 1830-1840 some of thee moved northward into Ho7^ York State, and it ras in 1S35 in Toitchess County, 5. Y. z hen those lines joined the Kipley family. For four genera tions tne Kipleys lived in Massachusetts, mostly in Plymouth County. After tna Revolutionary *?ar, four Ripley brothers migrated to KeTj Kacpshire, where the Ashu^lot river, a tributary of the Connecticut, furnished waterpo?7er for industries ^hich gave enployraent - to then and their deecendents. One of them, Isaao, married and reared his family in Vermont. Three of hie children moved -crest rard and nally located in TTisconsin, trhere some cf their descendants still live. Others have scattered to Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Hontana, Oregon, California and Florida. TKL TV;0 RIPLEY USES Two men with the same nane, William Jtipley, were early settlers in Massachusetts. William F.iDley of rlinghaia iras a weaver rbo came over fcoa England in 1638 in the ship "Diligent". He died in 1684 and left a will in i?i<ich he named hio four children. Authentic records list hin grand children and altfco Kathaniel and Isaac later appear as names of his descendents, no relationship hac ever been established between him and cur ancestor, Gillian F.ipley of Bridgerater, Massachusetts. Our Gillian Ripley was a contemporary of the children of William Ripley of Ringhata. In 1867 E. r. Hipley of Karlem, W. Y. vrote a * Genealogy of a Fart of the Kipley Family, in which he lists 990 desoendenta cf Gillian Ripley of Hinghaia, and 216 cf Gillian. Kipley of Bridgewater.

MEMORIES OF FY FATHER Hot well I reratfriu-r my lather1 r last illness. It war- no ner thing for him to be- ill; much of his life ne had rht/uraa tiara and neart trouole, cue no ccuDt to the exposure- and hardship of nis tnree years I service, during the Civil V:.r. He had had a most severe attack of inammatory rheumatism in 1898, vnen & special nurse and a doctor were brought Iron Cnica^o to help Din. At that time he was in such pain tact he could be iroved in bed only by mepne of a pulley attached to the ceiling anove his bee. The Chicago doctor prescribed a fr.pt for a weeJr witn nothing but lemon juice and water; sfter the fa^t the rst food v/ag b"*pok bpan soup. Black bepns were net corur.on in our locality and ~c had son* difculty in finding son-. Father grar'-uz-lly recovered fror this attack an^j eeened nomr.ll y well for ov^r a year Trhrn he had another attack of rheunptism. It Frir in Deceisbir, 1597, the>t he decided to go to Hot Springs, bcuth Tr.kotf- to try tc; ne relief in trie Heaiinp ra.ters there. As the Christaac season f.dvanced we children nad a photograph taken to send him for it was the rst time: that wt all he c not been together at Christmas. In i.onor of t:*e occasion I wore a ner- green silk biousr., triratied v.ith r frill from shoulcer to waist. After a few weeks as father seened no better, ny older sister, Laura, left her studies at the Or:ic?go Art Institute where* r-hfr: wr.is a pscozid ye* r student and Trent to Hot Springs tc b* v?itn hirc. In early Karen 1309 ?y father returned to his i>cme. Hi~ rh^urcatism ws uch ircprovec but "r.i heart trouble v>?.f worse. He took tc hip bed er. on the *or.iinr: of Farch seven teenth, ju?t." twenty sir ycr.re to the hour p.fter hi*? wedding day, n* passed nway. His going was a great loss to us 11. jfy brother Edrin was in his senior yer.r st Hi yon College. I was a sophomore in nigh school. The two younger children Chester and i.va were in tne. elementary grader. Each of us needed our fatner to inuence us in there forrcative yearn. Mother was left to supervise ny father's estate rrnich consisted of ve farms and considerable personal property whicfc was appraised rt nearly one hundred thousand dollars. 3he continued the policy of sending U6 all to college where collectively we Sprnt twenty ve years. I have mr;ny vivid mental pictures r<nd hapoy memories of v.y father, Perhaps chief anong tr:em are the long and pleasant drives we had together. ?."e always had three or four horses in our stable and with several farms tc oversee,

MEMORIES OF MY FATHER (CONT'D) there war. no lack of occasions to use then. One winter especially I remember, taat cf 1867 when I war. ve years old. ?.e had an eignty acre tract of timber near aaut'e Feint and there ay father employed r.en to cut tu vooc nno haul it to "'aupun, Wisconsin, where some ot i. w*s s^L: to th. State Prison and some was shipped to various Iuslh r r m s . I n n i s d i a r y f o r J a n u a r y t w e n t y - f t u o f t h a . y * ~ r, ht wrote:-, "This is the forty-seventh anniversary of r.y birth, and witn forty men and thirty four teams I bav* de livered fifty one cords of wood to the State Prion. ,fcc wood was elm, butternut, maple and basrcood ano the f^ emount hauled varied from twenty nine anci thirty-v* cords tc ftv In his diary he mentions the names of sev^r-l luzroer companies in Dt. Louis, Rcckford, Ultjoir. aw: "ridueky, Ohio, to whom he sold walnut ana butternut logs. To supervise this work, Father and I would leave h* <n tne morning, driving one* of the horser. hitence to the cutter! It was a drive of eight or more miles to W^un IW our home ir. Oakeld. t.'e stopped at the Point to see that tne wood was properly measured and loaded ano tnen Receded the sleirh* to ?;auPun, skimming over Horicon Marsh with snow higher than the fenoe posts. It was a most "citing experience to a ve year old child and I continueo it during the winter. After tne timber was cut cattj.tr were Pastured in the stumpy area and during the summer f often drove on Sundays with my fatner to look after t.ic. crttle and to sprinkle salt on the Canada thistle-. One year my father took the township census I crcomoanied him on these excursions, rain or shine. *J rained we could raisr the buggy top for our protectic;: cuw the horse* had no such shelter which perturbed me. In ^ tfc'Wbt upon tne matter I designed for him a canopy supported by "two wheels running on the ground in front of tan rxrse, *j*d attached at-the top to the carriage. In the fall and winter months, ay father often rf.taered us cailfiren about him in tne kitchen, wher* *J liked to crack hickory and buttemuto and to tell ua atoriee Be'we ate. One of Lie stories always proroked mucu lgMer. It was of his own boyhood, when one day he hitched f^j ^og to e led and took bis sisters for a ride. It was a ^.oue ride until all were dumped in the enow, while the f.er* seed sped onward.

EEUORIES OF liY FATHER (COT'D) Father was always interested in his children's progressTt school. During his last ??*! " ^n bo ill but what he could greet me with a smile or kisernen T proudly broueht home my test papers showing high marks. TtPFae at thifperiod tnat he expressed a desire for me to attlnd Kilweukee-Borner College, wnose new canpus ne had tr^prt.Pd on tie last trip to Milwaukee. Father said he rS lfke Se to become an amanuensis. The word was new to me and I believe he used it to enlarge ny vocabulary. In 1895 Downer and Milwaukee Collages *er%2TaSf isol-l student there for .he two scnool years 1901-8 and 1902 3.

MY FATHER'S DIARIES In the cummer of 1904 our family decided to move from Oekeld, Win. to Minneapolis, Einn. Fy elder brotaei, ^dwin, was already there working in r bank by day and attending law school at the University in the evenings. I hr\d just completed a year cf teaching at Stanton, K.J. after t*vo yefcrr as a student at KilwauV.ee-Fowner College *nd was ready to enter the University of Einnesota as a Junior. Chester thour h -be~t to continue at Pipon College for another year and taen join th** family for law* study in Minneapolis. Ava was ready for the last two years of high school. Since we had lived in our Oakrid home for twtntytwo yearn, there was mucn in th*> way cf brlongings that r**,-uirea sorting and disposal. Among the possessions to consider wan i- t?m?.ll trunk full of diaries which my father had kept fro- the years 1858 to 1898. Beginning- at eighteen yearr? of a* e hp r.aci kept a daily record of happening? until his devth, a period cf forty years. These rrre a priceless record of tho ocil, economic and political life of the times, as well ar a record of personal and family life. Altho my father lived on f farm or in a small town all hir. life, he was interested in the advancement of the country at large as well as of thr community. At the time none of us realized how valuable these diaries were. They were simply one more item to pack. It was decided that each child should keep for his own, the diary for the year in which he was oorn. The rest were destroyed. Hence I received the diary for 1882 and a small diary k^pt by Jennie Ripley, my father's sister who died of typhoid in 1664 tt the age of fteen years. Written in pencil, Jennie'r diary is now hard to read. In it she tells of attending for a time, a "select school", and of spelling bees and sinking school, held at the country school houses. She shows her love of parents and family, and towards the end of the year, tae little girl records- the beginning of illness which developed into typhoid and took her life, March 3, 1864. Her two sisters also died of the same dipeas**, all three within a week. Their tombstones in the cemetery at Oak Center, Wisconsin reoord: Emma Frances, died Feb. 23, 1864, aged 9 yrs. 24 days. Alice Ann, died Feb. 23, 1864 aged 14 yrs. 4 days. Louisa Jane, died March 3, 1864 aged 15 yrs. 11 mo. beside the diary for 1876, the year in whica ahe was born, my sieter Laura saved out for herself the diaries frort 1855 thru 1866 so that she had a complete record of my father's

1IY FATHER'S DIARIES (Cont'd) rMvil War experiences. In July 1934 when I visited her at ner home in lloL, Oregon, I had the thrill of reading tnese diaries. I me.de some note." on them as I read, and shall record some of them here. A8 a young man it was my father's custom to work on hie father's farm during the summer an* fo to school or to teach school during the winter months. After ^^5^. the Cakeld public schools, and the Fond du Lac high School, he worked in the ofce of the Fountain City Herald in the summerof 1857. On Thuredey April 28, 1859 be reoords in hirdLry that he entered Rioon College where he was a student two terms. On Nov. 18, 1861 he began teaching school in Sprinr.vcle Township Pis trie t Wo. One. On July 27, 1861 be wrote, "I was duly installed a member of the Sons of Temperance last night, a society whose chief aim is to discountenance the use of intoxicating liquor of Ivery kind! Fay success attenn the efforts of tne associa tion and its chief end be accomplished." Thursday, July 31, 1862, "Brother Henry and I started for Milwaukee at 11:20 i-. Y. to attend the Great state War meeting. Vie arrived in the city about 3 P.I'.. After going down town we repaired to the meeting where three stands were erected from which patriotic speeches were constantly beinr delivered to an immense throng. Governor Solomon and General Howe were among the speakers. Martial music^c the roar of cannon were among the principal feature- of * meeting. I did not see much enlisting altho great inducements were offered. After looking about the city for some time we started for home by the 2 A. K. Fridey train." Sunday, Aug. 17, 1862, "Yesterday at 2 o'clock P.M. I enlisted in the U. 3. service for tnree years or during the war as a volunteer in Capt. Conkling's Company, now forming in this Countv. I hope to nish my harvesting this week as we expect to go-into casra at Osbkosh next week. I enlist for the purpose of helping to put down the God-forsaken, Hell-deservine Rebellion, now struggling for existence in these united states. As a natural born citizen of my country, having enjoyed all the privileges end benets which are numerous, I feel it to be my duty, to myself, to my country and to the generations to come, to do all in my power to put down this rebellion which is as wicked and inhuman as it is u n c a l l e d f o r. "

RIFLEYS Ii: NEV.; HAIJPSHIRE AND VLKKOKT 3ome* of the following information was obtained frov- letters written in the summer of 1936 by our cousin noris Hilcrcth Wheeler of Winchester, N. ri. Her great grsndTiTIier was Alden I.ipTFy, son of our tnceptor Kathaniel, rnc brother of Isarc Kipley, b. 17?? in Plympton, >:ass. Both Isarc &nd Alden were eons of Lucy Sturtevant Ripley. ^Ashuelot, where our ancestors Nathaniel and. his ror. Isa*x once lived, is a small settlement two miles from Si^'chester, F.H., and is a part of Wincneeter. Thf latter torn T.86 settled in 17?2, the r-t town in the Ashuelot Valley, the Ashuelot riv.^r affording ne water power for many industries from early times up to about ten ye^rs ago ilhen, 'Manufacturing slumped, some of tne. mills and hcures vere torn down and others vacated. But the river and Haflriif icent scenery remain as tney were in early dayc. There ^re tre or three cemeteries, very old ones, in Ashulot; one i up on the side of the mountain and bidden from siht, but I knot; tnere are f.ipleys buried there, here in Winchester is a large cemetery on the outskirts of the torn where are buried several generations of the P.ipley family, my grandmother's an cestors.*1 "Back of Ashuelot is a hill, which was called Ore Mountain in the early 1800s. There iron ore was duf an$ trken to /shuelot where it was made into iron utensilc In fc.ct, Ashuelot war once c&llec, "Kurnscp Village*. This might account for the Kipleys who were moulders in a furnace", coriiw here or living here. One of my uncles has an old iron kettle made in the Ashuelot foundary by Alden Kipley, my greet grandfather. He was a foundry worker as well as wrs his older brother Isaac, your great grandfather.

The second grave stone reads: "In memory of Billy, son of Mr. Nathaniel and lire, ftelly Ripley, who died Hay 20, 1793 aged 3 yrs. 14 mo. and 5 days." Another grave adjoins these. It is the grave of a child of Levi Kipley, *ho was Kathaniel8 brother. Levi was born in Plympton, Uass. Men. 7,1772, son of William and Lydia Ring Kipley. (K. W. Kipley in his Ripley Genealogy made a mirtake and copied Lucy for Levy). The ntone reads, "Maria, daughter of V.r. Levi _ and Mre. Elizabeth Kipley, his wife, died Sept. 13,1798, aged 1 year, 11 no. 2 days. This child was born Oct.11, 1796 according to the Kew England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 40, pg. 57 and the parents marriage i* recorded in Vol. 37, p. 398 of the same series. "Levi Kipley married Elizabeth Hawkins in 1796". Another Ripley grtive completes this group of the Ripley family.

Facllv hie ton' note a found in tho papors of pr. Goorr H. Pipley fter his death in" Kenosha, Vdccenein, state that our ancestor, Nathaniel i:;lov, was carried three tiroes. Hi8 rst wife wcc Lucy nturtevant and their children wore Isaac ir.i Alden. no second wife was Polly Raskins and their children were Daniel, BjLlli*E* Harriet, Lucy and Lyndon. The third wife was Fvachel Oliver, who had four children, Kathaniel, <j. 16171 Floater, b. 1605, d. Deo. 10, 16^2. buried Bennington, Vt., *! Jeanette Kortonj Pamcliai Sallie. Sons of these statenents I the birth, marriage and death of cr! the preceding pages, as woll aild Kolly Hawkins in Winchester, have proven to be oorreot. lAtes for Lucy Sturtevant Ripley have been r>ven ac the date of the marriace of Kathaniel 0J.

The U. S. Cencua of 1790 lists Kathaaiel Iiipley of Winchester Town, Chesire County, Hew Ifanpehire, as being head of a household as followst 1 free white oale over 16 yre. I4 free white males under 16 jrs. I4 free white fesales. The free white nale was, of course, Eathaniel, tho four males under 16 yrs. were Isaac, 11 yrs. old in 1790, Alden, 10 years old. Daniel, ve years old, and Miliar., two years old. The four feinales doubtlesc were tolly Hawkins Kipley and her thre little rirls, Harriet, Lucy and Any. The New England Ceenealorioal Herister records that in 131* Lyndon Riplev of Linchoster, . R.# married Eusebia Humphrey. Their ohild, williac Kugphrev Ripley, died April 12, 1815, aocordinc to his tocLstone record in tho Old Ashuelot, 31. I!., burial ferouad and the r.rav* is in the proup of lUithaniel family pravoB. Undoubtedly Lyndon was Nathaniel's on. T have been unable to find any record of a Rachel Oliver, but in preceding pages I have referred to a oeoond Nathaniel Eipley and to a Sally Ripley who married Jeremiah Granger in Bennington, Vt., in 1021. Possibly these were Nathaniel Ripley's children as we know he waa living in Bennington in the early 1800s.

There bein^; no church, houses and barns were used by this society until 1000 when in cooperation with the Centrerationalists, a union church was forxaod. In 17S& land was procured in the west part of Clarendon and a Baptist mooting house erected by sub scription. Disbanded for a tine in 1802. llany etreans furnished locations suitable for rails - saw and rrist Dills - and a tannery, 1779-1780. P. 15 "In west part of town, prior to 1&17 a blast furnace was located at the ranpe called Tiest fountain running North-South thru Clarendon. Sto"7s were cast there and the furnace operated for years " P. 16 "Animal husbandry becane an important part of the town's early life. Igarka for cattle, sheep and swiao were carefully kept and recorded for over 5 years" In 1790 the population was lU78j in 1930 it waa 035. In the town records there were 20 birth records scattered during years 1777-1856 (79 yrs). Death records, IT*8-1853, only 22 recorded. Marriage reoords, 1777-1867* scattered dates, 21. Evidently not all vital statistics were recorded durin- these years. Of the 63 records none refers to any Torrenoc or idpley.

Mrs. Xewell has two 1,,-oih.i-s and a sister.- Frederick and Ralph Willby; and Amelia, now the wife of .Moses .Melville. In his political views Mr. Xewell was always a republican after attaining his majority, for he believed h'rmly in the principles of the party as factors in omu! government, lie belonged to the North Prairie Methodist church and his uas ;in honorable and upright life. Uq was diligent and industrious and owed his success to those qualities. There are few who lived in Kenosha county who knew more of its early history, remembering the day when Kenosha was a small town, of small industrial and commercial importance.

GEORGE H. RIPLEY, M. D. Dr. George II. Ripley, one of the distinguished homeopathic practitioners of Kenosha, has throughout the entire period of his practice seemed to recognize fully th,- responsibilities that devolve upon him and has made every effort to keep in touch with the advancement of science as there have been revealed to man truths relative to the preservation and restoration of health. Dr. Ripley was born in the town of Oakeld, Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, October 22, 1860, a son of Charles T. and Lucy A. (Holton) Ripley, the former a native ol Bennington, Vermont, and the latter of Northeld, Massachusetts. Charles T. Ripley was a son of Allen and Laura Ripley, also natives of the Oreen Mountain state, while in the maternal line the ancestry is traced back to William Holton, who was born in England in 1611 and on coming to America m lb';!4 established his home in Massachusetts, where he passed away August 12, 1691. His wife, Mary, died November 16, 1691. The couple representing the second generation were John and Abigail Holton, the former of whom died April 16, 1712. His widow survived for some years, as it is known that she was living in 1718. William Holton, of the third generation, born in 1679, was married December 5, 1706, to Abigail Edwards and died November 1,'i, 1755. Samuel Holton, their son, born in 1710, died April 11, 1767. He married Joanna Morton, who died December 8, 1796, at the age of eighty-two years. Their son. Samuel Holton II, was born in 174o and passed away January 7. 1801. On the 19th of May, 1770, he wedded Sarah Alexander, who died July 28, 1831, at the age of eighty-two years. Samuel Holton III, born in Massachusetts in 1770, di.-.l De-ember 1, 1851. IIe was married June 22, 1809, to Polly Stratton, who died September 12, 1860, aged seventy-nine years. Lucy A. llolton. born in Nonhlield. Massachusetts, in 1820. became the wife of Charles T. Ripley, who was horn in Bennington. Vermont, in 1816. In early life he removed westward lo Wisconsin, settling in Fond du Lac, where he took up the business of making dairuerri'iifyprs, then a recently invented process of photography. lie after ward turned his attention to farming.

We nd in Mitchell's " History of Bridgewater" that William Ripley and his wife Mary settled in West Bridgewater, Mass. We have not been able to discover his origin. A William Rirdey served in Gallup's Company in the unsuccessful expedition against Quebec in 1690, and a William Ripley married Mary Corbison, of Taunton, Mass., October 11,1693. We are inclined to think that the same individual is intended, and that he settled in West Bridgewater about the time of his marriage. His children were contemporary with those of the grandchildren of William Ripley of Hingham. Five families of the following table are taken from Mr. Mitchell's work. His children were: In this genealogy our ancestors are carried only to Isaac Ripley, bom in 1779. The name of Hannah Bosworth as the wife of William Ripley II is entirely ommitted. Nfy researches have completed the Ripley and allied lines and revealed how three women who married into the Ripley family cany our ancestry back to the Mayower.
