My great grandfather Edward S Tipton was born in Ohio in about 1843, married Lou Wilson in 1873 in South Bend IN and died January 1911 in Grant County IN. I am interested in anything that might be know about them or their son Archibald born in South Bend IN about 1875.
Thanks
My grandmother was Margaret “Maggie” Jo Tipton, born March 2, 1864 in Mooresville, Alabama. I believe Mooresville was in Madison County, Alabama. I know she had a sister named Waterloo. I think her parents died when she was very young. In the 1870 census she was living in Athens, Alabama with R.H. Hafley family, I would like to know who her parents were.
Hello! I’m looking for any information about David M.C. Tipton’s father, Reverend Wiley Tipton that anyone might have. Rev. Wiley Tipton was born about 1812 and married Isabel Whitson. They lived in Yancey County, North Carolina. Wiley may have died in Yancey County or East Tennessee.

The beautiful mountains of Western North Carolinabecame home to many, many Tiptons from the late eighteenth century on. By 1798, Major Jonathan Tipton (1750-1833) had moved from the Watauga Settlements to these mountains. Until Tennessee statehood in 1796, the Settlements had been part of North Carolina.
North Carolina was one of the original 13 colonies of the United States and became a State in 1789. Tennessee was formed from the western part of North Carolina beginning in the Blue Ridge Mountains and running west to the Mississippi River.
