The good news is that today I was able to find the estate papers of William Pipes Sr. (1722-1796) and William Pipes Jr. (1751-1804) online at Family Search. I have added a new page describing the will of William Pipes Sr. on this website with links to the online files. However, it looks like the estate papers of William Sr. and William Jr. have been jumbled together in this collection. It's easy to determine which will belongs to which man and that the guardianship papers for daughter Mary belong with the estate of William Pipes Jr. However, proceed with caution regarding the notes due and owing and the estate inventory. The notes due and owing read like a who's who of early Cumberland County, so even researchers with no connection to the Pipes family may find a mention of their ancestor here.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
