NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.

Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You can use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically excluded, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

The Fripp family of South Carolina

Notes


Edward Fripp

The book "TOMBEE" has Edward as (1820 - 1842) m. Elizabeth Fripp. However, he is shown on a document dated 3 Feb 1846, as Executor of Perry Fripp (his father).

Notes from Marshall B. Shore:
See Marriage and Death notices from Baptist Newspapers of South Carolina, 1835-1865, comp by Brent H. Holcomb, C.A.L.S. 1981, also: Inscriptions from the Baptist Church Yard, Beaufort, S.C. Copied by Marie H. Heyward and Alice R. Huger Smith, 1930, as printed on page 99, The SCH&GEM, Vol XXXVI, January, 1935, No. 1.

1830 Census (1st June): St Helena Parish, South Carolina
I. Perry Fripp - Head of Household (known as Perry Fripp)
1 male 10-15 (Probably Perry or William - Sons)
1 male 15-20 (Probably James Fripp - Son)
1 male 20-30 (Probably Edward - Son)
1 male 50-60 (Isaac Perry Fripp - Head)
NOTE: No females shown, so wife was probably deceased and Eliza & Harriett possibly married.


Elizabeth Hann Joyner (See Notes)

A chart thought to have been compiled in 1875 by E. St. James Fripp, a cotton broker from Charleston, shows Edward married 1st to Elizabeth Joyner and 2nd to Ann Joyner. As Ann would have been E. St. James' grandmother, I have assumed this information to be correct. This concurs with Marshall Shore's information below.

I am uncertain where I obtained the "Nov 1814" birth date, but if her age at death of 30 is correct, her birth year should be 1812/13

Notes from Marshall B. Shore:
Elizabeth Hand Fripp was most probably the first wife of Edward Fripp and the mother of Annie P. Fripp. The Ann H. Fripp shown living with Annie P. Fripp in Charlotte, N.C. 1870 census must have been the second wife of Edward and not the mother of Annie. So far the mother of Annie is hypothetical and based on the findings of my researcher, Shirley Ihnen in Raleigh, N.C.

Walter William Shore

Walter was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN. He came to Spokane with his family and several other families arriving in Spokane via rail in about 1905.
Walter moved with his parents to Seattle, WA where he attended the University of Washington and joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He worked in his fathers shoe store part time. In 1910 he married Vida Hazel Belshaw who was attending the U. of W. and was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority. They were married in her fathers home at 303 E. Indiana in Spokane and moved to Dallas, OR where he worked for his father in another store. In 1911 they moved to Farmington, WA and began farming as renters on the Marshall W. Belshaw land. They farmed about 600 acres with horses until 1922 when Walter went broke and took a job as the Postmaster at Farmington for 12 years. Walter continued to manage the farm by hiring the work being done. In 1934 the Belshaw family decided to sell the land at the insistance of George Belshaw who wanted his share of the inheritance of his father. The Democrats came in with Franklin Rosevelt and a new Postmaster was in order. This is when Walter went into the Farm Land Real Estate business that he continued until his retirement in 1957. He was successfull in the real estate buisness and had a comfortable retirement.


Vida Hazel Belshaw

My mother was interested in family history and left behind an oral history as well as a short written history of her life. I have copies of these. (509) 482 8307. They are too long to include here. Newspaper reports: Farmington Independent, Friday Jan 28, 1916, No 40.
"Mrs Shore, reports that the Christmas Seal sale amounted to $21.40, a little better than previous years.
"Mrs M. W. Belshaw returned Friday, Jan 28, 1916 from Albany, Oregon where she was called three weeks ago by the death of her mother."
Hazel as everyone called her, was born in Farmington, lived in Spokane at 303 E. Indiana and attended high school, graduating from Lewis and Clark High School. She attended the University of Washington for two years where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. In 1910 she was married at her fathers home in Spokane (address above) to her University sweetheart Walter William Shore. After a year in Dallas Oregon they returned to Farmington and started farming on her fathers 600 acre farm. Her life in Farmington was occupied with raising children, keeping house on the farm home one mile south of Farmington on the road to Garfield. She belonged to the Fortnight womans club, was active in the community, attended the Methodist church and meetings of the Eastern Star.
During the depression years in Farmington she served as assistant postmaster under her husband. In 1941 they moved to Spokane and owned 3 lhomes lshere they lived. She died of a heart attack in 1964.
