Ahnentafel #178 - John Henry

John Henry, Sr., backtracking into Generation 8

Born: by 1759
Died: Unknown

Buried: Unknown

Married: Unknown

Notes:
Some people claim that John Henry is a relative of Patrick Henry.  I don't think that is correct as those Henrys are accounted for and end up in Tennessee.  It is more likely that our John Henry moved through Virginia and Ohio and maybe got as far west as Illinois with the Robertsons. If his son is the same as James D. Henry, sheriff of Sangamon Co., Illinois, John lived in Pennsylvania.  

Records:
1770 - Virginia, Fauquier Co. rent roll - a John Henry is listed

1777 - Virginia, Fauquier Co., rent roll - a John Henry is listed

Ahnentafel #470 - Henry Baughman

Anthony Henrick Baughman aka Henry Baughman, Bachman

Born: 1750 Germany
Died: 1822 Baltimore, Maryland ?

Buried: Unknown

Married: 1775 Maria Barbara (--?--) in Manheim Twp., York Co., PA

Records:

The more I look at these records, the more I think they are about at least two people.  I'm not sure why Henry would go to York Co., Pennsylvania and then back to Baltimore, when most of his family was moving farther west into Ohio.

Research Log - Tipton Family

As the last two ahnentafel entries are sketchy at best I started looking into the Tiptons.  They are easier to sort out than the Hunts.  I came across Charles Heinemann's Tipton Family of Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, printed in 1934 which is available on Ancestry.

In the preface he states that "these notes represent an effort to arrange the various conflicting data on this famous family in a manner that will reconcile, as nearly as possible, the various lines, so as to aid future searches."

Edward Tipton is the man Heinemann points to as the possible emigrant ancestor in Maryland even though there are some gaps between him and the next known generation.

In England there is a Tipton Parish in an Urban District of South Staffordshire.  It is an ancient church, and its parish registers go back to an early period.

The name Tipton appears in the Domesday Book as Tibintone.  Its meaning was "the tun or town of Tib's or Tibba's people."  It has been suggested on very good authority, that the name had its origin from Seventh Century St. Tybba, patroness of hunting.

As early as 1606 there were Tiptons in Bedford County, England.

Here is the line as Heineman lays it out:

I. Edward Tipton b. 1620, d. ? An Edward Tipton immigrated to Maryland in 1668 in the ship Friendship of London.  Wife unknown.  [Annapolis Land Office Records, Libra 11, Folio 379 and W.C. 2, Folio 123 for service 1680]
