RESI
John Tipton appears to have frozen to death traveling from Missouri to Kansas. John was on the 1810 Estill County Kentucky. Census with 2 sons, * 2 daughters 0/5. He was not shown on the the 1820 Census. According to his nephew Robert Letcher Tipton his Uncle John married a Miss Susie Schultz and went to Missouri and froze to death on a cold night traveling from Missouri to Kansas.
John, son of Jonathan and Francis Tipton was born about 1780 in that part of the Watauga Valley that subsequently became Washington County, Tennessee.
Shortly after the end of the American Revolutionary War, Jonathan and Francis Tipton came to a parting of the ways and Jonathan took up with Keziah (Robertson) Sevier, widow of Robert Sevier. The timing of this relationship is not altogether clear but the court designation of Jonathan Tipton as security for Robert Sevier's children on February 26, 1782, the sale of what is taken to be Jonathan and Francis Tipton's homestead on October 21, 1783, and the indictment of Jonathan Tipton and Keziah Sevier for adultery in November of 1783 would be in accord with a scenario where in Jonathan and Keziah began cohabitation in mid to late 1781. Jonathan (and presumably Keziah) were found not guilty, but the basis for the finding is not clear because Jonathan and Keziah were almost certainly living together at that time and ther is reason to believe that Jonathan and francis never divorced.
Although no documentation support it, it is probable that John and his two full brothers and two full sisters lived with their mother after the separation. It appears that John and his two brothers continued their residence in Watauga Valley for a number of years then moved, reportedly in the company of their Uncle, John Daugherty to Kentucky some time prior to 1795.
Hallie Johnstone's story concerning the naming of "Tipton Ridge" places the arrival of William Tipton in what was to become Estill County in 1806. However, the tax rolls of Clark County (mother county to Estill County) and the marriage of John Tipton to Betsy Hall on January 19, 1797 in Clark County inclines one to the belief that John and William Tipton may have moved out of Mercer County as early as 1797.
Betsy (Hall) Tipton is believed to have given birth to some eight children prior to her death. The date of Betsy's death is not known, but it was probably in 1817 because John Tipton Married Catherine Baked on April 24, 1818 and widowers with small children tended to remarry rather quickly in those days . the records indicate that John and Catherine Tipton were the parents of six children, making John the father of 14. all of these children, to the best of the writer's knowledge, made the made the move to Missouri with their father and lived out their lives in that state.
John and Catherine Tipton along with most (if not all) of their children moved to Illinois briefly before settling in Missouri. although the dates of these moves are not clear, the time frame around 1836-1837 seems likely because they disposed of several pieces of their Kentucky property in mid to late 1835 and their son John married Lucinda Everett in Missouri in 1838, John Tipton died intestate in Howard County, Missouri in 1843. (according to WHT#280 he froze to death). Catherine (Baker) Tipton Continued to live in Missouri until after the 1850 census and died sometime after that, reportedly in Kansas.
