I have finally been able to determine the geographical location of Lot 16 originally drawn by Henry Ripley in the Yorkshire Grant! Henry sold Lot 16 to John Oxley and the property remained in the Oxley family for four generations. In 1911, Howard Ripley acquired the property. I absolutely love that a property that began in Ripley hands returned to Ripley hands. I'd so love to catch a fish or pick a blueberry on that property! For a really deep dive into the deeds and wills see Sale of Lot 16 on this website.

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
