John Harvey Tippets
1810-1890
My ancestor, John Tippets, as near as I can learn, left a British Man-Of-War in the year 1600 and came to Salem Massachusetts. As near as I can learn, he originated from Germany. He settled in Mathwen (Matheen), Massachusetts. He raised a family and they settled in Massachusetts. John the second, third and fourth were all born in Massachusetts. Some of the members of these families, when they came to manhood, settled in Maine. My grandfather moved from Mathwen to New Hampshire and from this place into the state of New York in the year 1800. His wife’s maiden name was Osten Jam. I am not certain whether her given name was Phoebe or Jerusha. She died before my remembrance. He died, I think, in the year 1827, in the 66th year of his age.
My father’s name was John. He was born in Mathwen and went to New Hampshire with hi father in the 24th year of his age. He married in Graton, Massachusetts, a lady by the name of Abigail Pierce. Her mother’s name was Abigail Prescott of Massachusetts. In the year 1813, my father moved to Essex County, state of New York, where his father was.
My name is John H. Tippets of the sixth generation. I was born in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, in the year 1810 on the 5th day of September. I was three years old when my father settled in Essex County, state of New York. I lived with my father and labored to procure a comfortable living until I was 20 years old, then in a poor state of health, I hired to a man to drive a mail carriage six months in the winter. I labored with my father the year following. I labored one year for a man by the name of John Sanders, a highly respected man and family. The year following, I labored again with my father.
