I'm home again after a great trip to PEI and will begin adding new information to the website. Today I deciphered some of the deeds I brought back and have made updates and added photos to the pages on the Yorkshire Land Grant 1785, Lots 16 and 17, and Luke Harrison's Farm. I have also created a new page called The Fletcher lease which describes Robert's 1000 acre lease in Amherst. Although the mystery of the locations of Lots 16 and 17 has now been determined, it was a bit disappointing to discover that Robert and Isabella probably never lived at River Philip. I really did love it there. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that Clair Ripley and Eleanor Ripley-Barrow know quite a bit about the descendants of John Ripley of River Philip as I had previously thought that little was known. Having determined the location of Luke Harrison's farm mentioned in Robert Ripley's will, it now appears that Robert Ripley Jr. and his wife Jane Rushton did live in Southampton. Hopefully their descendants are still in the Southampton area and I will be able to make some contacts there who are as knowledgable about that branch of the Ripley family as Clair and Eleanor are about theirs.

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
