BA-J/ILL Cur Anthony Tripp W. 25497
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Anthony Tripp, a pensioner in 1844.
The data which follow were found in pension claim, W. 25497, based upon service of Anthony Tripp in the Revolutionary War.
Anthony Tripp, while a resident of Kent County, Rhode Island, enlisted in March 1777 and served three weeks as private under Colonel Brown of Rhode Island, engaged in guarding the coast against the British fleet, which service was rendered as substitute for his father; the name of his father, and the name of the captain under whom he served were not stated. Anthony Tripp moved then with his father to Columbia County, New York, and enlisted November 24, 1779, served two months as private in Captain Ebenezer Cady's company, Colonel Robert Van Rensselaer's New York regiment; he enlisted July 31, 1780 and served three months and ten days as private in Captain Elijah Bostwick's company, Colonel Morris Graham's New York regiment. He enlisted in October 1781, and served three weeks as private in Captain Daniel Herrick's company, Colonel Whiting's New York regiment.
The soldier resided in New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York, in 1793, moved from there to Delaware County, New York, thence to Orleans County, New York.
Anthony Tripp applied June 19, 1844, while a resident of Barre, Orleans County, New York, for pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War; he was aged then eighty-two years, five months, and fourteen days. Pension was allowed. He died May 7, 1846 in Barre, New York.

Anthony Tripp married January 22 or 25, 1793, in New Lebanon, Columbia County, New York, Mary Brown; they were married at the home of her father, Jacob Brown, in New Lebanon; her mother's name not given.
Mary Tripp, the soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed March 11, 1853, at which time she resided in Barre, New York; she was aged then seventy-nine years.
Anthony Tripp and his wife, Mary, had the following children:
Samuel born December 21, 1794. Alice " June 25, 1797. Talitha " June 30, 1799. Stephen Russel " October 13, 1801. Anthony " April 6, 1804. Alva (Alvah) " March 15, 1806. Mary (Polly) " December 30, 1809. Palmyra " July 28, 1812. Almeron " June 24, 1815.
In 1853, Almeron Tripp stated that his mother had lived with him ever since the death of his father, Anthony Tripp, the soldier. He stated further that the heirs of Anthony Tripp living at that time were his four sons, Stephen R., Alvah, Anthony, Jr. and himself, one daughter, Talitha, wife of "the late Sylvester Patterson", and one grandson, Albert Mason, only son of the daughter, Mary Tripp Mason, then deceased. All of said heirs resided in Barre, New York, except Stephen Russel Tripp, who resided in Canton, Wayne County, Michigan, and the grandson, Albert Mason, who resided in Salem, Washtenaw County, Michigan. The name of the husband of this deceased daughter, Mary, was not given.
In 1853, Jacob Brown, brother of Mary Tripp, soldier's widow, was aged sixty-six years and resided in Decatur, Otsego County, New York; Hannah Treat, said widow's sister, was aged then seventy-seven years, and resided in Worcester, Otsego County, New York. One Barzillai R. Brown witnessed the signature of said Jacob Brown in Otsego County, in 1853, no relationship between them shown.
In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, name

Dear Sir
Your letter of Sept 6 th was received in due time it calls for more positive testimony in proof of Mary Tripp's marriage I have searched in vain for any record of her marriage she was married by a Magistrate and no record kept of it There is no record kept know of marriages in this State or at least none required to be kept by law There has been a record kept of the birth of the several children of Anthony and Mary Tripp which record I send to you sworn to as you will see by myself and mother this record shows that their first child "Samuel Tripp" was born December 21 st 1794 and mother swears that she was married before that time I can prove that she was married before "Samuel's" birth by Mr Brown but his testimony is already before you to that effect however if you desire it I will send you it in that shape Now My object in sending you this family record is to show you that we have positive records to show that Anthony & Mary Tripp must have been married at some time before "Samuel's" birth or Dec 1794 but as I cannot from positive records show you the exact date of their marriage yet I think enough proof is before you to convince you that at all events she comes within the law which gives pensions to widows married before 1800

My Dear Sir:
only I desire some information relative to my Great Grandfather, Anthony Tripp, who served in the Revolutionary War.
The only record that I have is that he was born in Providence, Rhode Island. Later his family moved to Columbia County, N.Y. then still later to Delaware County N.Y. and last to Genesee County, now Orleans County, N.Y.
He is buried at Mount Albion Cemetery in Albion, N.Y. and is the only Revolutionary Soldier buried in that beautiful Cemetery.
The Daughters of The Revolution wish to mark the grave and have asked me to get such information as I can, hence I am asking your Honorable assistance in obtaining this information.
I will very much appreciate such information as you may be able to give.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Tripp

Commissioner of Pensions Dear Sir
Your letter of Nov 17 th inst is received I am well aware that the birth of a child is of itself no evidence that the Parents were married previous thereto but in this case you ask for some event to fix the recollection of the parties testifying upon the birth of the first child is an event more likely to be recollected by intimate friends and connection than almost any other thing that could occur even though they were quite young but Hannah Treat who testifies with Mr Brown must have been some Seventeen years old at the time I think her age was stated in her first affidavit Now the birth of Samuel is shown by positive record to be in 1794 and there witnesses and swear know that he was not born until after Anthony & Mary Tripp was married some year or more This testimony places her marriage beyond all doubt as far back as Samuel birth and leaves a margin of some six years before 1800 I enclose the additional testimony of Jacob Brown and Hannah Treat just received to which I have alluded above The widow made her mark in the presence of two witnesses who signed as witnesses and swore to the Family Record which was the topic of your letter of the 17 th inst is not this good evidence that she is still alive But as if you desire additional testimony on this point it will be sent with pleasure (please turn over)

Mr. Flaggler member of Congress Elect from this District will be in Washington in a few days he has kindly consented to call on you and will act as my agent in this application I think he will be able to convince you of the justice of this application
Respectfully Yours

Commissioner of Pensions Dear Sir
Permit me to call your attention to the application of Mary Tripp for a pension which application was made in March last. She makes this claim upon her Husband's Services in the Revolution as his Widow by the papers on file in your department you will see that her husband Anthony Tripp's claim is admitted and allowed (in January last I believe) and I think that the fact of her marriage time of marriage &c is clearly proven in her application. Do look it over and tell me wherein I lack testimony or if "All is right" then send me the Pension certificate. Her husband's claim lay some ten or eight years in the department before it was reached and allowed do not make us wait a similar time on this it will take but a few minutes to look it over over. Write me Direct to Almeron Tripp Albion Orleans Co N. Y.

Hon L P Waldo Commissioner of Pensions
Dear Sir Your letter of the 8 th of August inst is received as also your letter to F. H. White Esq of June 22 nd 1853 in your letter to Mr White you stated that the application of Mary Tripp should have been made in open court, and also that proof of her being still a widow should be furnished, on the 6 or 8 th of July or about that date as court was in session at Albion. Mary Tripp made another Application in open court as suggested by you. I also swore to the fact of her being still a widow as she has always lived with me since her husband (Anthony Tripp) died in this affidavit O. H. Burns also joined with me he being a neighbour of ours, these last papers were mailed to you, but judging from the tone of your letter of the 8 th August inst referring me to White that I might know the condition of the claim of Mary Tripp and as he has not heard from you since our last Application was made I have come to the conclusion that this last application has not reached you and is probably lost. And my object in troubling you to read this letter is to ascertain whether the last application of Mary Tripp made in open court has been received or not. I feel under great obligation * for the prompt attention you have thus far given to this Application.

Hon S. S. Edwards. Sir.
Enclosed are the papers of Anthony Tapp sent for the purpose of procuring said Anthony a pension for his services in the Revolution. In consequence of the length of time since the Revolution it is difficult to procure testimony of the service even of those who served during the war. Mr Tapp has procured (as you will perceive by the enclosed) a certificate from the Comptroller of the State of New York for pay for services in the war - which is not very definite in reference to the time of service rendered or said war. I think & it is generally thought in the place where said Tapp resides that he served in said war as he has declared. From his frequent declarations of said service for many years past which declarations have invariably corresponded will you have the goodness to examine the enclosed papers and if from the proof of his service contained in said papers you can be satisfied that he served as he declares please grant the old man a Certificate for a pension & much oblige
Yours &c Nelson A. Groves
