Family Tradition has it that Jonathan, William, and other brothers took passage from Jamaica in a ship bound for America, The ship was attacked upon the high seas by vessels of the American Colonies under the impression that it was a pirate ship and before the mistake was discovered, the brothers
were Killed except Jonathan and William. (The Graham & Tipton Story by Owen Gayle Graham page 20)From "The Tipton-Hazelton-Payne-Barr Families by Ellen Mae Rose & George H. Rose, Provo, 1976, J. Grant Stevenson publishing.William Tipton was the second son of Jonathan Tipton and his first wife, Sarah Pearce Tipton. The record of his baptism appearing in St. James Parish Register of Anne Arundel county, Maryland has alrady been referred to in the account of his father. He married about 1720, Hannah, Daughter of Mary Price of Ann Arundel County, Maryland. Mary Price's will was drwan August 5, 1718 and was witnessed by William Tipton. At this time William Tipton was just twenty two year old. On September 12, 1719, he, together with his brother Thomas Tipton, was made overseer of the estate of his maternal uncle, William Pearce.
It has already been shown that Jonathan Tipton removed from Anne Arundel County to Baltimore Co., MD, where he had acquired 235 acres by or before 1728. It seems that William Tipton may have been attracted to this area by his father's interests. At any rate, he was residing in Balitmore County when his children were born. St. Paul's Parish Regiser, Balitimore City, records the birth of the three children of William and Hannah Tipton.William Tipton, planter, of Baltimore left a will drawn April 5, 1726 and proved in court August 2, 1726. This will is digested in Maryland Calender of Wills, Volume 5, page 233. He made bequests to his two sons, Samuel and Mordecai, real estate equally at age 21. Should they die without issue, then to his daughter Sarah an her heirs. He provided that his sons should be free at 16. Witnesses: Thomas Tipton and John Price.
William Tipton was still a young man, just thirty, at his death. He surely fell victim of a lingering illness considered fatal at the time else age only to have his misgivings realized in a matter of four months. It was shown in the account of Jonathan Tipton that when his daughter in law declined to administer the will of her husband, William Tipton, that the elderly Jonathan undertook the task. Mordecai Price, her brother, witnessed the transfer. On October 17, 1727 Jonathan Tipton gave to "My well beloved daughter in law, Hannah Tipton" a servant boy and cattle to a value of L16-0-11, "to peaceably enjoy all till day of marriage of my grand-daughter Sarah Tipton. Should said Sarah die before marriage said cattle and goods to be divided between my two grandsons, Samuel and Mordecai."
A series of Maryland wills combine to shed light on the ancestry of Hannah Price, who Married William Tipton.
Mary Price, widow, of Anne Arundel County, Maryland had her will drawn May 8, 1718. This will was proved and recorded June 5, 1718 proving tht she was dead by or before this last date. The wills were not recorded and proved before the court was in session so there was often a lag of days or even weeks between a death and the recording. The will provided that monies in the hands of Francis Waston, marchant of London, were to be applied by her executors to the purchase of land fr use by her sons: John and Thomas (Price) She gave personal items to these sons and furniture to daughters, Rachel and Hannah, and her grand daughter, Mary Carr. She assigned to a friend Edward Parish, Sr. claims against the estate of her mother, Isabel Cople. She then made a bequest of 5 shillings to each named child: Stephen, Mordecai, Leah Ford, and Elizabeth Carr, and divided the remainder of the estate equally between her daughters, Sarah and Mary. Exrs. Son Stephen and son in law Thomas Carr. Witnesses: Thomas Crutchly, Jacob Holland, and William Tipton. MD Wills 14:629.
At the death of Mary Price in 1718 her daughter Hannah had not married William Tipton, though he did witness the will.
Hannah Tipton, Widow of William Tipton, married (2) John Bosely of Walter and Mary. This John Bosely's will is digested in Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol 50, pg. 249.
John Bosely (Of walter and mary) died at soem time between 1767 and 1772. He married some time after 1726, Hannah, widow of William Tipton (Daughter of Mordecai and Mary Parsons) Price.) In November 1728 he surveyed Pointers' Level, in Baltimore County which he later sold to Samuel Tipton, (his step son). The effect of this document is to show that Hannah Tipton was the daughter of Mary Mordecai Price. Hannah Bosely made her will 1776; it was filed 1777. John and Hannah Bosely had two sons: Walter and Joseph. (For a copy of John Bosely's will see Will Book 3 P. 213 Baltimore County).
Maryland records show that Mordecai Price was a Quaker. It seems that certain of the Tiptons also became Quakers and were heavily fined for refusing to go to war, -- quite a contrast for generations in the Revolutionary War and also to the valiant Sir Anthony, first of this name.
