From Tipton-Hazelton-Payne-Barr Families by Ellen Mae Rose and George H. Rose, published 1976, Provo, UT. by J. Grant Stevenson.
The brief obituary of Jonathan TIPTON (1639-1757) appearing in the Maryland Gazette, cited below, shows that he was born in Jamaica. From this fact we infer that his father, Edward Tipton was residing there in 1639 and probably before, for this was the year in which Jonathan was born. It is likely that the arrival of Edward, Samuel, and Joseph on these shores matched fairly closely the declining years of their father -- Samuel Tipton of Bristol, England about 1677. This date is indicated by the suit January 1, 1664 in which Mr. Edward Tipton and Mr. W. M. Downing are mentioned as having had a sloop and rigging belonging to John Roach for a period of seven years. Jamaica had been an important port in English trade - rum, sugar, and molassas being the most important items in commerce. It is likely that Edward had gone there to see after his father's interests. This was a time when the English were swarming. England offered but limited opportunities - oversees adventure called the English youth.
On June 7, 1678 a county court order of Northumberland County named Mr. Ed Tipton, number six, as one of "every forty men to furnish a man, horse and pistols, carbine, sword, and 80 lbs dryed porke or bacon to 100 lb of dryed beef" toward colonial defense.
Captain William Downing died 1655 in Northumberland County, Virginia leaving a wife, Margaret Downing, a son, William Jr., and a son John, whose names appear in connection with the activities of Edward Tipton. An entry in Northumberland County records dated March 19, 1683-4 required that Mr. Edward Tipton who married Mrs. Margaret Downing, Exth. of Mr. William Downing, pay unto Nicholas Spencer, Esq. L10, 4,6 sterling for bills protested, damages, and charges, or probate with costs, also execution.
It is probable that this marriage predated 1683 for some time. William Downing had been dead twenty-eight years; litigation had preceded this order. It is probable that the children of William Downing grew up in the Edward Tipton household. Reference to the account of Samuel Tipton above shows that John Downing was agent for Samuel Tipton. A further indication of how closely families were associated at this time is shown by the fact that after the death of Edward Tipton, his widow, Margaret, married John Hughlett, the agent of Samuel Tipton! Moreover, it is shown by a court order dated January 1, 1684 that - "Last court ordered Mr. Azarim Parker and George Barratt appraysed the rigging and sayles of a sloop belonging to Mr. John Roach in the hands of Mr. Edward Tipton. Ord. sd. appraysment for the same to sd. Roach the owner." On January 21, 1684 this order: "Mr. Edward Tipton and Capt. William Downing have had in their possession 7 years -- sayles an rigging belonging to a sloop left by Mr. Hen. Roach ask to have the same appraysed by Azar Barker Barratt between this and next court." We read from this that Edward Tipton was probably engaged in trade on the Chesepeake Bay and probably, up and down inlets and rivers.
On Feb. 6, 1786/7 "Thomas Barnes plt, brought his action to this court against Edward Tipton for concealing 2 Indians out of his list of tithables. And for as much as it appears that the 2 Indians concealed as above are native of this county and born in this county, the Court is of the opinion that such Indians ought not to pay levy. And upon the petition of the Dft. a non suit is granted him against the plt. with costs and damages according to law as executed.
This high and mighty Thomas Barnes was the father of Captain Richard Barnes c. 1696-1760 and Major Abraham Barnes of Leonardstown, MD. Thomas Barnes did not take this rebuff lightly for he immediately appealed for a hearing before his excellency, the govenor.
It was customary for the county court of gentlemen justices who heard and decided (These were decided in Jamestown or Williamsburg) to call upon the head of each family to declare all males of the household above the age of sixteen. They were required to include servants as well as the others with one exception - the Indians born in the county. Probably Edward Tipton included sons by his first marriage to Elizabeth ---- who were in the household as well as his stepsons. It is clear that he did have servants. The Indians would have been of immense value in local trade among the natives. The males sixteen or older were known as tithables. The head of the household was addressed so much each head to raise funds, most of which went to the church.
We shall not set down all the entries touching upon Edward Tipton. None shed discredit upon him. Those chosen are intended to reveal what they will of his life and times.
On March 21, 1687-8 Edward Tipton was summoned to appear at court to answer why he did not appear, or have his man appear to assist on road work. It is probable taht he was ill and neglected the court order.
On August 15, 1688 "on petition of John Downing and Thomas Hobson, Jr., overseers of the last will of Mr. William Downing, decd., it is ordered that Henry Mage, Jno Wornom and Joseph Palmer sometime between this and next court meet at the house of Edward Tipton and make an appraisment of what goods and chattles can be found in the plantation belonging to the estate of the sd. Tipton and also value the legacies disposed of by the sd. Will and testament of the deceased and return the same to the next court.
Being sworn by the next justice. "The reference to legacies is a referance to the will of William Downing, Jr. who died in the Tipton household. We also infer from the wording of this order that Edward Tipton had died. This is confirmed by an order dated October 5, 1688. "Attachment to Charles Harris against Est. of Edward Tipton L450 in the hand of Mr. Turbervill and whereas sd. Dr. appears due by bills assigned from Benjamin Baker an acct. of which the sd. Harris hath made oathe --judgement granted to sd. Harris agaisnt sd. Turberville for the sd. sum out of the sd. estate with costs." On this same day John Downing appeared on behalf of Mr. Samuel Tipton (brother of Edward) against Mrs. Anne Farmer Trustee to the est. of Major Jonathan Mottrom "referred to the next court by consent of both parties." On October 17, 1688 it was "ordered that an appraisment be made of all goods and chattels taht could be found upon the plantation of William Downing, Jr. belonging to the estate of William Tipton the same being attached and left in the custody of Margaret teh wife of the sd. Edward Tipton, etc." It is clear from the record that Edward Tipton died in 1688. He was active in the affairs of his county. He married into a promient family.
Before leaving the account of Edward Tipton it is well to note the appearance of an Edward Tipton who arrived in Maryland 1668 on the Friendship of London captained by Christopher Miller. There were only nine passengers on this vessel indicating a small ship engaged in trade with the West Indies and the coastal ports. On August 4, 1668 this Edward Tipton was adjudged to be eighteen years of age in connection with the court survey of tithables. He was only a short distance from St. Mary's County, Maryland to Northumberland County, VA where Edward Tipton resided. They were certainly not one and the same person. The Edward who was eighteen in 1668 was born in 1650. He was five years old when Margaret Downing was widowed in 1655. It will be recalled that the Widow Downing married Edward Tipton of Northumberland County. This Edward of St. Mary's County, MD was probably the youngest son of Edward Tipton. Indeed, W. Hord Tipton's research does indentify an Edward as the youngest son of Edward Tipton. If this inference is true, Edward Tipton was living, probably in Jamiaca in 1650 and he had married previous to his known marriage with Margaret Downing.
Research by J. H. Boddie appearing in typed form in the Kentucky Historical Library, Frankfort, KY, treats this Edward Tipton at some lenth and also identifies:
1) Jonathan of Ann Arundel County, MD b. 1639 and died 1757
2) Thomas of St. Andrews Parish, Jamaica, who was born before 1657
3) The Edward above born 1650, died after Aug 3, 1694 and had resided in both St. Marys County, MD and in Northumberland County, VA.
4) Joseph of Northumberland County, VA born before 1658, married Elizabeth - and died about 1678.
5) Samuel of Northumberland County, VA born before 1658 and died after 1687.These men were contemporaries. They moved into the same area, exchanged kindnesses and courtesies with one another, and dealt in trust with the same people. It might be an overstatement to say that they were brothers but this seems most likely. Their given names repeat in later TIPTON families whom we are about to consider.
Amy is also Listed as being born in Cruckmeole, Shropshire, England.
Some say he died April 27, 1637
Also listed as being born in Jamaica.
Surgeon
See The Tipton-Hazelton-Payne-Barr Families by Ellen Mae Rose and George H. Rose, 1976, Provo, UT, Stevensons Press.Samuel Tipton is clearly identified by records we are about to cite from Northumberland County, VA as being of Bristol, England. There is no evidence that he ever resided in the new world. He was represented in VA by a factor, and attorney in fact, named John Hughlett. He is referred to in some records as a surgeon. The volume of his business in Virginia was considerable as may be inferred from the following court records in Northumberland County.
