The Fripp family of South Carolina

Notes


Paul Archibald Fripp

NOTE: A different version of Paul's ancestry was listed by Rebecca Margaret Fripp (nee Linley), who married Paul's grandson. It has not been possible to verify the information, but it could offer an alternate lineage. The list and an analysis can be found HERE



Notes from Edgar Allen Fripp III:
Jane J. Fripp died at Wakefield Plantation in Prince Williams Parish on September 27, 1838; and Paul Archibald Fripp died shortly after on April 27, 1839. Their Tombstones are found at the Episcopal Chapel of Ease on St. Helena Island, Beaufort. They left two small sons. (see Charleston Observer issue of May 18, 1839)

We have not yet found Paul Archibald Fripp listed in public family records, except for his marriage and death; and that he may have worked as a Blacksmith at the early age of 19 (1830 Charleston Census).

There is no proof that he is the father of William J. E. Fripp and Edgar T.R. Fripp. We have not found their Birth Records!

There is a family legend, that William Fripp, Sr. came to Charleston one day, saw the Blacksmith Sign, and told Paul, "No Fripp (of my family) is going to be a Blacksmith….and gave him a Plantation in Beaufort".



Note from Lucy Charpie:
The Charleston Observer 1827-1845, p. 148; records the death of Paul A. Fripp 27 Apr 1839, leaving 2 small children Paul; issue of May 18, 1839. He was aged 27 years, 6 months, and 27 days. This gives a birth date of 30 Sep 1811.

An alternate birth date has been noted as 8 Oct 1811. Perhaps the latter was a Christening date.



Marriage notice supplied by Edgar A. Fripp III

Marriage and Death Notices from the Charleston Observer
1827 - 1845 Brent Holcomb, C.A.L.S.

“Married on Thursday evening, 19th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Kennedy,
Mr. Paul A. Fripp, of St. Helena, to Miss Jane J. Kugley, of this City.”

NOTE: The only month in 1834 that a 19th fell on a Thursday, was June.

Jane Johnson Kugley

Information from Edgar Allen Fripp III:

Jane J. Fripp died at Wakefield Plantation in Prince Williams Parish on September 27, 1838; and Paul Archibald Fripp died shortly after on April 27, 1839. Their Tombstones are found at the Episcopal Chapel of Ease on St. Helena Island, Beaufort. They left two small sons. (see Charleston Observer issue of May 18, 1839)

Martha Kugley, living in Charleston, took guardianship of her two grandsons, William James Edwards Fripp, and Edgar Thomas Riley Fripp. (see South Carolina Guardianship of 1827-1845). Edgar Fripp of St. Helena and Beaufort may have had original care of the two in that I have an old tin plate of Edgar upon which on the back is scratched such information.

Edward Jordan

Edward was born in Ireland, and is said to have emigrated to South Carolina about 1832/33. He is believed to be the father of Sarah Ann Jordan (wife of Rev. William James Edwards Fripp), although the 1860 and 1880 census returns do not show her as his daughter.

In 1880, she was living with Ed Jordan & his children by Sarah Ann Shea, but she is not listed as his daughter, her son is not listed as grandson, and her parents birthplace is incorrect. The census shows her parents were born in South Carolina, whereas her "brother" Ed Jordan Jr's entry shows his parents were born in Ireland.

Further evidence is found in the 1860 Census. Ed & Sarah's household, at Charleston, shows a Sarah Jordan, aged 24. If this was the wife of W.J.E. Fripp, why is her surname shown as Jordan, when it should be FRIPP? Sarah Ann Fripp (nee Jordan) is actually shown on a Census in Spartanburg with her husband. This is 200 miles away, so she would not have been listed on both records.

I believe all the evidence above shows that there were two Sarah Jordan's born about 1836, with a father Edward. Perhaps the other was a daughter of Edward's sister, Catherine.

Details from Edgar Allen Fripp III:
Register of the Rev. Paul Trapier: St. Stephens, St. Michaels, & Calvary (Episcopal Church): St. Stephens Chapel (James Island - Charleston), Sarah Ann Jordan, B: April 30, 1836; Baptized May 22, 1836, daughter of Edward and Catherine Jordan.

The following memoir, also supplied by Edgar Allen Fripp III, shows Sarah as 3rd daughter of Edward Jordan.


"Sarah Ann Jordan was third daughter of Edward Jordan, formerly from Took-Jac, where the Jordans fled from France at the revocation of the Edict of Nante." - Rebecca Margaret Linley Fripp

Rebecca married Sarah's son, Edgar Allen Jordan Fripp, and was grandmother of Edgar Allen Fripp III.

Rebecca's memoir also explains why her husband always stated, when asked where he was from, that he was a "Frenchman from Cork". The Jordan ancestors were apparently from a French Huguenot family group who had fled France about 1685, and maintained it a part of their heritage.



Sarah's details from Edgar Allen Fripp III:

From the family Bible of Edgar Allen Fripp & Rebecca Margarite Linley:
Sarah Jordan, mother of E.A. Fripp, Sr., died at Spartanburg, S.C., Nov. (17), 1916 - her 81st. year.

Edgar found that Sarah Anne Jordan attended the Cumberland Methodist Church, where she is listed in Sunday School. This is also where her marriage notice to Rev. W.J.E. Fripp is listed.

Edward's funeral notice - Supplied by Edgar Allen Fripp III


The Relatives, Friends and Acquaintances of Mr. Edward Jordan and family, are respectfully invited to attend his Funeral Services at the Mariners' Church, at 10 o'clock this morning. February 28, 1885.

A handwritten note is next to the notice, written by Rebecca Margaret Linley Fripp, which reads: "Grandfather of Edgar A. Fripp, Sr."

Information from Karl Plenge:
Karl is descended from Edward Watson Jordan, shown in the 1880 census above.
E.W. Jordan's mother was Sarah Ann Shea, who died in 1874. Ed had a sister, Catherine, born 1811 died 1874 (unmarried).

Another possible explanation:
A message at: http://www.jenforum.org/thigpen/messages/653.html contains the following details:


On Sep. 29, 1831, Thomas Moore left two sons, Thomas (age 8) and James (age 7) in the South Carolina Orphan House at Charleston. The boys were let out as indentured servants in 1835, Thomas to N.G. Allen as a bricklayer, and James to Edward Jordan as a sailmaker.........

The two Moore boys were adopted by Messrs Allen & Jordan a year before Sarah Jordan's birth. Was N.G. Allen an associate of Ed's ? If so, is it pure coincidence that Sarah gave the middle names Allen & Jordan to her first son, Edgar. It's not certain that this was the same Ed Jordan, but he was a sailmaker in Charleston at the right time.

A photograph of E. Jordan's sailmaking business has been supplied by Karl here The individuals and date are unknown but it was taken on a wharf in Charleston, probably in the time of Edward Watson Jordan.

Edward Watson Jordan's details are listed below. His tree, compiled by Karl Plenge, can be found here



Possible marriage, although they appear to be still in Ireland in 1837:

LDS details:
Marriage: About 1836 , Longford, Ireland
HUSBAND: Edwardi Jordan - Birth: About 1812 Newtowncashel, Ardagh, Longford, Ireland
WIFE: Catharina McGarry - Birth: About 1814 Newtowncashel, Ardagh, Longford, Ireland

Son of above parents:
Domini McGarry
Birth: 24 APR 1837 Newtowncashel, Ardagh, Longford, Ireland
Father: Edwardi Jordan
Mother: Catharina McGarry


Sarah Ann Shea

Sarah is believed to be the mother of Sarah Jordan, who married Rev. William James Edwards Fripp, and is shown as her mother on Sarah Fripp's death certificate. However, details from the 1860 & 1880 census returns appear to show otherwise. Please read Sarah's or Edward Jordan's notes for further details.


Sarah Jordan

Edward Jordan and Sarah Ann Shea may have raised two daughters named Sarah. Please read "sister" Sarah's notes for further details.
