Descendants of Thomas Chipps

Generation No. 1

1. THOMAS1 CHIPPS was born January 01, 1737/38, and died Aft. February 10, 1801 in Monongalia

County, Virginia (WV). He married JOHANNA ROBERTS Abt. 1773 in Monongalia County, Virginia (WV), daughter of AMOS ROBERTS. Notes for THOMAS CHIPPS: The Chipps name is first found in Worcester County, England, where they settled in ancient times. English: it is an occupational nickname for a carpenter or woodcutter, from Middle English chip(pe) ‘small piece of sawn or cut wood’. Dictionary of American Family Names. Our Chipps line is said to have come from Wales in early colonial times according to material compiled by Blaine and Irene Shriver from conversations with decedents of Thomas's son Amos. (Source): Morton, Oren Frederic, A History of Preston County, West Virginia, Kingwood, WV: Journal Publishing Co., 1914, vol. 1, pp 53, 82, 90, 333 and 547: By way of the South Branch (Cheat River?) probably came Thomas Chipps, whom we find settled in the Craborchard in 1770 near the Rodeheaver Chapel. Because of the unfortunate burning of the Monongalia courthouse in 1796, with its accumulated papers of twenty years, we are without the records which would have made this and the preceding chapter more complete. Among the early justices from the Preston end of the county was Thomas Butler, who resigned in 1797. Others were Thomas Chipps, John Fairfax, Jonathan Brandon, Hugh Evans, John T. Goff, Amos Roberts, who went out in 1809, and Frederick Harsh, who served from 1803 till 1811. Still others, with the dates of their mention, were Rawley Evans in 1810-13, Charles Byrne, Isaac Powell, and Hugh Evans in 1810, Nathan Ashby in 1811, William Sigler in 1814-16, and James Webster in 1816. Butler was sheriff in 1793, Chipps in 1794, Goff in 1800-2, and Fairfax in 1805-6. [B]y Act of the Virginia Assembly, dated January 19, 1818, Preston came into being as the twentieth of the counties now comprised in West Virginia. Yet it would be a great error to imagine that this step was easily or speedily accomplished. It required a quarter century of constant agitation,. The legislature of Virginia was bombarded by petition after petition before it saw fit to accede to the wishes of the people in the Preston area. The first of these papers, dated July 25, 1792, presents the following statement : ["]Your Petitioners humbly sheweth, that it is Inconvenient, for the Inhabitants on the East Side of Laurel Hill, to attend at the Court House, at the time of Election, or on any other account whatsoever, occasioned by the Extensive Distance to the amount of forty miles for some, and having to cross that Ridge of Mountains where there is no Inhabitant, nor never can be. Therefore your Petitioners humbly Prayeth, for that Part of Monongalia County, Eastward of the Laurel Hill to be struck off to compose a New County.["]In this first petition, Thomas Butler, Thomas Chipps, Russell Potter, Andrew Ramsey, and John T were recommended as justices for the court of the new county. . . . Thomas Chipps settled in the Craborchard in 1770, but seems to have relocated on the Monongalia side before 1800. He was a justice and leading citizen, yet his son John, of Roaring Creek, was of bad reputation. It is alleged that he was a horse-thief and the slayer of a negro. MISCELLANEOUS From Monongalia Order-Book. 1796 . . . Thomas Chipps allowed $2 for holding a runaway negro. . . . 1798 . . Thomas Chipps given tavern license. Thomas Chipps was one of the first settlers in Monongalia County, Va, Now Preston County West Virginia in 1766 along with Thomas Butler, Jacob Corzel, John Scott, James Clark, and John or Jacob Judy. Thomas was the owner of an Ordinary in Morgantown, Va. He was Justice of the Peace in 1788 and Sheriff from 1793 to 1796. The Book "The Brand Family Of Monongalia County, Virginiv (West Virginia)" By Franklin Marion Brand, Page 21, "Many farmers of those days distinguished their livestock by markings which were recorded in court recordes. Dated September 13, 1796. "Thomas Chipps recordes his ear mark. A crop in

the left ear and under bit in the right ear". The following Land Grant Information is from a series of postings on Ancestry.com CHIPPS Board, "Thomas, Joanna and Basil" by Strflwr1 (Jo Fjelstad) Land Grants in Monongalia County from Library of Virginia microfilm reels for Land Office Grants (LOG) Thomas Chipps Land Grants. 1.) 1 May 1784 – 400 acres at Big Crab Orchards on Muddy Creek including his 1771 settlement.

A "settlement" appears to be either living on the land for one year or raising a crop of “corn”, (grain). Additionally Thomas purchased 850 acres from Bartholomew London on 11 Oct. 1788. These land purchases establish his presence in the county at an early date. However many settlers moved their families to a safer area during these time frames as there was a lot of fighting with Native Americans. Monongalia County Deed book Records 1784-1810 1.) 14 April 1800 – Thomas & Johanna sold portion of land purchased from B. London in 1788 to Stephen Workmen. Recorded OS 2:484. 2.) 18 Oct. 1800 – Deed of Trust. (this holds land belonging to John Downer in trust until such time as J.

Recorded OS 4:215-217. (This document is important because it lists all the children of Thomas as well as spouses names). 12.) 14 Sept. 1807 – Basil & Johanna Lucas, Harrison County, to Thomas R. Chipps, release of dower on a lot in Morgan Town, (land grant from 27 Feb. 1805 – 400 acres Dunker Creek.) “Joanna is the widow of Thomas Chipps, deceased, and Basil her resent husband”. Acknowledged in Harrison Co. 5 Aug. 1808. Recorded (Monongalia Co.) OS 4:339-340. In conclusion: The widow of Thomas Chipps, Johanna Chipps, married Basil Lucas sometime between 12 Jun 1804 and 14 Sep 1807, probably in Harrison Co but maybe in Monongalia Co. The land grant was 27 Feb 1805 but it is possible it was given to the name she used when she applied, which would have been at least a year earlier. This proves that Johanna Roberts Chipps married Basil Lucas after the death of Thomas. Some sources list Basil Lucas as her first husband.

Monongalia County Court Records : James Jenkins summoned to answer Thomas Wilson, assignee of Alexander McIntire, assignee of Thomas Chipps, in a plea of debt for $200 with interest from 5 July 1798 and $50 damage, 17 February 1801... Attachment 'levied on one Negro man named Sam, so says Deputy John W. Dean for Sheriff John T. Goff."[Zinn, Monongalia County , (West) Virginia : Records of the District, Superior and County Courts Volume IV: 1800 - 1802, 1810 (1992), 236] John T. Goff, Sr., High Sheriff of Monongalia County, summoned to answer Thomas Chipps in a plea of trespass $300 damage, 12 March 1801. 'This action is brought for taking a negro girl from the plaintiff.' May 1801 term of court, 'abates by the plaintiff's (Chipps) death.'"[Zinn, Monongalia County , (West) Virginia : Records of the District, Superior and County Courts Volume II: 1800 - 1803 (1990), 190] The Following material was compiled by Blaine and Irene Shriver from research done at the State Archives in Charleston, West Virginia, Monongalia Court House Records, and from family records of Mrs. Aaron Chipps (Grace Stump) and by Norman Chipps. During the fall of 1993 the original homestead of Thomas Chipps from 1776 was found. The stone base is still visible and a spring with cool water still running. It is located 1 mile south, south-west of the intersection of Brandonville Turnpike and route 22. The log house appears to have been about 15 by 20 feet with a spring nearby to cool the milk and a small storehouse to keep the foodstuffs. Trees are growing in the middle of the foundation and in another 30 to 50 years any signs of habitation will be lost forever. Before Thomas Chipps’ son John left the area about 1815 he was known to have kept stolen horses in a cave near the intersection of Lick Run and Roaring Creek. During the early days it was known as Chipps Cave. John maintained this cave near Willey, WV until after the war of 1812. The horses were being broken to a rideable condition then sold to the government. Many horses were bought locally and mixed with the stolen ones to help disguise them. The cave was used as a barn, and is out of the way. As many as 15 horses could be kept there at a time. People could be 100 feet from the entrance and not know it was there because heavy overgrowth and the noise of the Lick Run would cover most of the horse noises. For many years the cave was lost except to a few local residents until about 1930 or so during the depression when roving band of gypsies used it as a home in the woods. From that time it came to be known as Gypsy Cave. About 1970 an archaeological dig was made there but no interesting artifacts were found relating to early ownership. A covered picnic table area is now also at the fallen in mouth of the cave where local residents have summertime picnics and children can wade and swim in the creek while a nearby clearing can be used for ball games. Several area deer trails can be roamed for a pleasant walk in the woods.

The following Biographical sketch of Abia Chipps appeared in the publication listed below: Portrait and Biographical Record of Shelby and Moultrie Counties, Illinois, 1891 - p. 206/207 Located in the fertile valley of Jonathan Creek, is a farm of four hundred acres, located on Section 15, of the township, which takes its name from the water supply. Picturesque and beautiful are the meadows, pasture, orchard and woodlot of the farm, and happy should be the owner of so fine a place. The fortunate man, who is possessor of this land, is he whose name is at the head of this sketch. He settled in the county in the fall, November 26, 1858, and since that time, has here made his residence, applying his time and attention to the up building and cultivation not only of his own possessions, but also to the improvement and the elevation in tone, of the whole community. Abia Chipps was born in Harrison County, W.V., June 8, 1852, and is a son of Asa W. and Melvina E. (Duvall) Chipps, natives respectively of Morgan and Harrison Counties, W. Va. They were married in their Native State, in 1851. The family came to this county in 1858, and purchased eighty acres of raw land. This is now beautified and made valuable by a fine walnut grove which was planted by our subject. The mother of the family died April 1, 1863. She had six children, of whom four lived to be grown. They are Abia, Kate, Adie and Jefferson E. Kate is now the widow of John Landers; Adie is the wife of R.D. Curd, and resides in Des Moines, Iowa; Jefferson E. operates a farm of his own. Our subject's father was a second time married, this union being with Mrs. Mary S. Adams nee Barton, and in 1877, he removed with his family to Columbia, Mo., remaining there for fourteen years and then returned to this county. By her previous marriage, Mrs. Chipps, Sr., was the mother of one son, whose name was James Williams. Politically the father was a Democrat, and held local office. Our subject was reared on a farm and educated at the Academy of Mount Zion, Ill. A thoughtful young man, fond of study and of original research, he developed a liking for pedagogic work, and engaged for some time in teaching, in which he continued even two years after his marriage, which was solemnized January 1, 1877, his bride being Miss America E. Lilly, who was born in this county. After marriage our subject purchased eighty acres of land, and this amount with its proceeds, he so carefully husbanded, that he is now the owner of four hundred acres of land. He is engaged in the business of stock raising, which he finds very profitable, bringing much of his stock to the metropolitan markets. Our subject and his wife are the parents of seven children, whose names are as follows: Hallie, Willis; Clifford, who is deceased; Raymond, Earl, Alta and Paul. Politically our subject is a member of the Democratic party. He has been Supervisor of the township for five terms, and has held various minor local offices. Socially he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Transcription copyright 2003/2007, Moultrie County ILGenWeb/USGenWeb Children of ABIA CHIPPS and AMERICA LILLY are: i.

He became First Sergeant during the Battle of The Bulge. (First Sergeant - Principal NCO and life-blood of the company: the provider, disciplinarian and wise counselor. Instructs other SGTs, advises the Commander and helps train all enlisted Soldiers. Assists Officers at the company level). His unit spent 288 days on the front line, he received two Purple Hearts, a Bronze and a Silver Star for gallantry in action. Dick said that the war had little to do with who he was. However I believe it had a profound impact on how he chose to live his life. Dick used his V.A. Loan so that his parents could buy a home at 2260 Putnam. Dick worked for Ohio Bell after the war as an installer, later as an estimate assigner. He always answered

his phone "7442 Chipps". The site of the big 20 foot diameter revolving wheel with the department binders and records near Dads desk, and the small wooden cube with family photos labeled Chipps off the old block remains vivid. At one time in the late 60's he was department head. However he gave that position up rather than purposely under rate employees on annual evaluation forms as management had requested. He retired in 1984. Dick broke his leg in a fall on ice in January 1983, spending 16 weeks in the Hospital. It was June before he could walk with the assistance of a walker. However the first week of July found him dancing to Big Band Music with Midge, walker and all. Before the year was over, he had remodeled the basement, including installation of a drop ceiling, all before he could walk unaided. Dick was the kind of man others came to when troubled about an up coming election. Notes for MARIAN RUTH BUSER: Most people know her as Midge. She worked at Ohio Bell, Toledo Edison, First Federal and as a Real Estate Agent. On Thanksgiving evening November 22, 1945 Marian took the Lincoln Street bus to 1821 Glenwood, the home of a co-worker at Ohio Bell. She was going to spend the evening with Jean and her husband Larry Jones, as well as Jean's brother Richard Chipps. Housing being scarce after the war, Jean lived with her parents. Marian was sitting on a stool when Richard came back from visiting friends. He was in his Army uniform and looked so tall. Jean later said that she could see sparks flying in both directions. They went to a club called "Ka-sees" on Lagrange Street. After a fun evening watching the shows, Richard escorted Marian to her families home in a cab. "Oh Boy could he kiss". Just over a year later Midge and Dick arranged to meet at the Lucas County Court House to get their Marriage License at lunch time. It was during an ice storm, with many power lines and tree branches down. The department official commented, "You must really want to get married coming out in this weather". Midge's father Jacob was a quiet man, not inclined to show his emotions. But during her wedding service as he gave her hand, Jacob turned and said, "Take care of her Dick, she's a good girl". Midge was almost speechless. After giving birth to three sons Midge was hoping that her fourth pregnancy would bring a girl. When she was born, Dr. Zollinger said "Here is your rosebud". The Doctor always called Beth by that name. Children of RICHARD CHIPPS and MARIAN BUSER are: i. RICHARD EARL8 CHIPPS, b. January 31, 1950, Toledo, Ohio; m. MARGIE HOLTFRETER, September
