John Isaac Rippey was my wife's 3x great-grandfather. Born 1845 in Clark County, Kentucky, he married Mary Jane Barnes and they had six children together. John and Mary moved their family to Kansas, where their eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married Robert Henry Ferguson. Robert and Elizabeth then moved to Oklahoma, where their eldest child, Myrtie, married Leonard Nicholson. Leonard and Myrtie, my wife's great-grandparents would then relocate to the far north of Saskatchewan, Canada, where they laid down the roots for the next several generations. There are some disagreements in online trees about exactly how John Isaac Rippey fits into the Rippey family tree. Was his mother or father born into the Rippey family? And although everyone agrees about the identity of his grandparents, the proof takes a little bit of digging. This document attempts to prove that Elizabeth Rippey, the daughter of Samuel Rippey and Sarah Vance, was John Rippey's mother and that his father remains unknown.
