When I was hunting for the Grant of Joseph Black Ripley and Thomas Ripley I got sidetracked photographing a gorgeous old barn that I later discovered was indeed on their original grant. So I painted it! And then I painted a graveyard in the same area that's being restored for a descendant of the Mattisons. So much of the research I do is numbers and dates. And that metes and bounds phase was hella math! So it's nice to have a balance.

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
