I have neglected to update the Tippins family since William Tippins Jr. (2464). This has not been because of a lack of information. Rather it was because of minimum information on each individual Tippin. So here I make-up and catch-up with the family. EDWARD TIPPING (1232): his estate included 160 acres of land on Saplin Fork, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, where he lived, which had been acquired by a land grant from Lord Baltimore. His children changed the spelling of the family name to Tippin. WILLIAM TIPPIN (616) was a farmer/planter in Maryland and had only two known sons. HENRY TIPPINS (308) [sic] moved from Quen Anne's County, Maryland, to North Carolina about 1745, and probably settled first in Halifax or Edgecombe County, North Carolina. He later moved to Anson County, North Carolina and on October 30, 1765 took a land grant of 300 acres of land in Anson County, North Carolina. He sold this land October 2, 1777, and he and his family moved to Spartanburg County, South Carolina, where he died. William Tippin (154) moved to Spartanburg County, South Carolina, from Anson County, North Carolina with his parents in the latter part of 1777. He purchased his first farm in Spartanburg on November 5, 1790. It was 150 acres located on the conjunction of the Encree River and Abner's Creek. William continued to acquire adjoining land and in 1828 he owned 372 acres of farmland. William left his son Benjamin to operate the farm when he moved to Anderson County, South Carolina. Then in 1828, William purchased 540 acres of land from Jason Perryman. The land was on the Tugaloo River and Big Beaver Dam Creek in Anderson County. William lived on this land for the remainder of his life. Prior to his death, William deeded to each of his children one-sixth
undivided interest in the Spartanburg and Anderson farms with provision
that his widow, Elizabeth, would have full use of the properties during
her lifetime. |
