Message Body:
I recently found out through Ancestry DNA that I’m a descendant of the Tipton family, until my great grandmother, Mary Magdalene Tipton, married my great grandfather. As a retired soldier, it is humbling to see the military accomplishments of our ancestors and I wanted to say thank you for preserving all of this information so that it may be passed down.
 Very Respectfully,

Subject: Research on Charlotte Tipton (1816-1865)

Dear TFAA,
I am researching our family geneology and am hoping to find more information on our family ancestors.  My husband’s 4th GG James Anderson married Charlotte “Lotty” Tipton in 1846 in Blount County, TN,  She appears to have been previously married to Pryor Nance.  In further, James’ grandfather Daniel Anderson was listed as a member of Capt. Tipton’s Company in early settler lists for East TN.  Hoping you may be willing to share any records or information on Charlotte Tipton as well as the Daniel Anderson line.

Many thanks, Laura Anderson.

THE EARLY SETTLEMENT OF ANTIS TOWNSHIP
By Larry D. Smith, 150th Anniversary of Blair County, PA, pages 262-269

I. Daniel Rupp’s book included a small paragraph on the village of Davidsburg. It was noted as a village west of the Brush Mountain, in Antes Township, lying along the west bank of the Little Juniata River. At that time the village was noted as containing approximately eight houses, a store, a tavern and a tan-yard.

The village of Bell’s Mills grew up around the gristmill, sawmill and store, which Edward Bell established along the Bell’s Gap Run in the east-central portion of the township about the year 1800. John Bell emigrated from Scotland in 1763 and arrived in Virginia. He then proceeded by boat to Nova Scotia. There he met and married (in 1765) Elizabeth Hunter, an immigrant from Ayrshier, Scotland. The Bells made their way southward, eventually settling in the Hartslog settlement in Huntingdon County. They resided there between 1767 and 1769. In 1767 Edward Bell was born while the family was at Hartslog settlement. John and Elizabeth bore three other children: Margaret, born in 1767 and later married to Robert Edington; Mary (or Polly), who was born in 1772 and later married Caleb Tipton; and Jane (or Elizabeth), who was born in 1774 and married John Glasgow.

Does anyone have this ? I am trying get my Linage correct.. I have found information that Charles Reno m. Elizabeth Tipton.

——-
In an article in The Colonial Genealogist, 1978, Vol. 9 No. 3, “The Tiptons of Tennessee: an effort to straighten out the line”,
Dollye McAlister Elliott presents evidence that Charles’ wife Elizabeth Tipton was the daughter of Jonathan Tipton and his third wife
Elizabeth Adams, and the sister or half-sister of Joseph Tipton and the half-sister of Colonel John Tipton.

If you have information please email me tolrup@gmail.com

Hello, I’m looking for others who may have researched Cassandra Tipton, the 2nd wife of Abraham Cox from Baltimore County, who may have moved to the Watauga Settlement around the time of the Revolutionary War, then moved back to Baltimore immediately following the Battle of Franklin in March 1788, and then appears to have settled just across the state line in Abingdon, Virginia by 1798.

She was possibly born in the early to mid-1750’s and died in the 1830’s in
Washington County. Samuel Tipton (b. 1721 of William Tipton (b. 1696?) and Sarah Gott) made a bequest to granddaughters named Cox in his will and was a neighbor to Abraham Cox when
he lived in Baltimore County in My Lady’s Manor area – Montkon.

Thank you!

Hi. Im quite new to building family lineage. I have solid records to Andrew Jackson Tipton b. 1833 d. 1907 in Madison County AL as great great great grandfather.
My question: is there a reliable ancestry site most of you use? I find conflicting lineage on just Googling. Thanks for any input.

I am in need of some help, my great grandmother was Katy Tipton 1895-1976 born in Missouri, I have been able to track her father, James T Tipton, 1871- 1936, his father Thomas J Tipton 1842-1906 and his father, James Andrew Tipton 1819-1901 who was born in Blount county Tennessee but died in Benton County, Missouri. I have trouble after that. I was hoping you might have more information on James\\’ father and, I believe it might be Meshac Tipton but am not sure.
