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.

William Paul Fripp

From Family Bible of William B. Fripp, 1835 Issue
Courtesey of Virginia Fripp-Whatley-Shaffer, via Ed A. Fripp III

William Paul Fripp son of Wm B and Eliza Fripp born November 23, 1834
Baptized by the Rev. David McElleran



Notes from James Tison:
William Paul Fripp, youngest child of William B. Fripp, was born in 1835 and died in 1914. He attended the University of Virginia and served in the Confederate Army. He married a second cousin, Martha Fripp, daughter of Captain John Fripp (1790-1865) and his first wife, Caroline Chaplin (1794-1836), and a niece of "Good" William Fripp who died in 1860.

Captain John Fripp was one of the wealthiest landowners in the District and was a Union sympathizer. He was noted for humane treatment of his slaves and before he left St. Helena in 1861 briefed them on the consequences of "freedom" and advised them what to expect and how to act in his absence. He died in Columbia.

Prior to the Civil War, William Paul purchased a large plantation, "Chelsea", on Hazzards Creek across the Broad River from Beaufort and near the Bluff plantation of his brother, John Edwin Fripp. The wife of his brother Thomas B. Fripp fled here with her three children when she left St. Helena late in 1861. After the Civil War, William Paul lost Chelsea and was only able to salvage a small part of the estate consisting of land on Bellinger Neck and Lemon Island. Before World War II, Chelsea became the property of Marshall Field of Chicago.

Today, the small hamlet of Chelsea occupies this location. Not very far away, about a half-mile south of the location of Bellinger's Neck, lies a place called "Fripps Landing" at the intersection of SSR 27 and Old Fripps Road.
