I just found this site. My maiden name was Hipple...thought it was a uncommon name. Think I might start shaking up the family tree... looks interesting. Grandfather was Clarence wife Bertha, with 3 sons Robert, David Dennis. Anyone have any hints of where to begin?

My records show that most Hipples in this country are descended from three brothers, Lawrence, Jacob and Adam, who emigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany via Canada around 1749. Your best bet is to talk to your older relatives to try to trace back the names of the different generations in your branch. The farther back you can go, the more links there are. Good luck!

I am a descendant of Jacob Hipple and I would like to find out more information on how they came to the United States. My grandfather had information that they spoke German and were from area around Perry Co. Pa. Jacob Morey Hipple (1822-1901) was his Grandfather and he wrote some interesting information about the family. I would love to correspond with anyone who has knowledge on this family.

Hi Joyce (should i say cousin)
I would also like to correspond about our Hipple roots. Jacob Morey Hipple may have been my Gr-gr-gr grandfather, or my gr-gr-gr-uncle - it is unclear. His parents were Jacob Hipple and Sarah Morey. My family records say he was born June 9, 1823 in Chester Co., PA. In 1831, the family moved to Warren, Ohio where he learned English and forgot German. The Hipples remained in Northeast Ohio until very recently. What is your Grandfather's name? What is his lineage?
Nice to hear from you, Karen

I have an 1800's newspaper clipping about my ggrand-uncle, Mr. John Hipple, born in Perry County. He had 2 sons, William Jesse. There must be some connection there. Are any of these names among the ones in your family stories?

I have a very old newspaper clipping about a William H. Hipple who was originally from the Philadelphia, Pa., area, and was relocated to Texas "to assume the duties of master mechanic of the motive power department of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. It also contains a poem that he wrote about Texas. This was probably some time between the 1880's 1900. Does any of this sound familiar to you? If you think it's the same person, I can send you a copy of the article. (boxobuttons@home.com)

Jacob Hipple b. 1 April 1797 oldest child of William and Nacy Hostetter Hipple, married Sarah Morhre on March 27, 1817 in Cumberland Co. Pa. They had 12 children. Their 4th child was Jacob Morey b.15 Sept. 1822 in Perry Co. Pa. Jacob Morey is my great-great grandfather. He married 1) Anglina Bryant, 2)Susan Chaffee. He died 27 march 1901. Jacob Morey and Angeline had 10 children I decend from the sixth child, Loenzo Dow. Please contact me. I would love to learn how we are related.

Linda,
I would love to contact you via email. I have a picture of your great great grandfather Lorenzo Dow and his child "Little Wren". They are just photo copies but I would be happy to share than with you. My Grandfather Clyde Jacob Bearce's mother was Pluma Hipple .(Clyde was my mother's father.) He left me a fairly good geneaology and some pictures that were photocopied from other family members. I am in Florida at present and without family records but can give you some info. Joyce Gillette Brown

Joyce, Please email me at hjp@hom.net so we can discuss our family histories. I have some of Clyde's family history items in my research sources. I live in GA. Where in Fla are you?

My grandfather had a brother named Jesse, his name was Ora John, and his fathers name was Francis Hipple
I am also triing to find someone who knows anything

Did Jacob Hipple have a brothers named Frank and John?

Janet -- My father was Jesse Frank Hipple; grandfather was Frances Hugh Hipple (married to Ellen Elizabeth Worley); and my great-grandfather was John Hipple (married to Anna). To my knowledge, Elsie May is my only living aunt on the Hipple side. -- Sam

Thank you so much for writting me back. If you have any other information and wouldn't mind taking the time to send them to me it would be wonderful. My grand grandmother had all of our family history in her attic in a book. When she went to a rest home, someone bought her property and tore down her house with everything in the attic, none of us new it was in there.
If there is anything you wouldn't mind sharing with me would be great
Thank Sam
Janet

Janet -- I tried unsuccessfully to post more info about your grandfather's siblings. Please contact me directly at Slhipple@aol.com if you would like that info. -- Sam

Janet -- The following is the information I have about my father's (Jesse Frank Hipple) family:

My grandparents were Frances Hugh Hipple (2 Jan 1864 - 15 Mar 1937) and Ellen Elizabeth (Worley) Hipple (18 Feb 1876 - 22 Jul 1922). They were married in Council Grove, KS on 21 Jun 1902. My g-grandparents were John (attorney) and Anna Hipple and John (Methodist minister) and Sarah Worley. The children of Frances and Elizabeth were:

Sarah Pearl (26 Mar 1904 - 20 Apr 1979)
Benjamin Frances (1906 -1909)
Virgil Leroy (7 Sep 1907 - 15 May 1978)
Cecil Raymond (10 Aug 1909 - 19 Jul 1993)
John Ora (8 Oct 1911 - 1 Nov 1993)
Elsie May (18 May 1913 - living)
Jesse Frank (16 Jun 1916 - 18 May 1982)
Nina Elma (21 Jul 1922 - ???)

I was the only child of Jesse Frank Hipple and Myrtle Zilla (Byrd) Hipple, born 5 Dec 1940. Could you provide me any info about any of the above? Thank you -- Sam

you might be looking for our branch of Hipples, There was an orphan, but he would have been back another generation.

Is anyone familiar with a Howard HIPPLE...... was in Camden, NJ for 1930 census as a 38 y.o. married to a Sarah and had 5 children ?

Hi
I have a William Hipple, born between 1860 and 1870. He is the son of Elizabeth Trumbauer and _____ Hipple from Pa. Most probably both parents had died by 1872.
Does this sound familiar
Joan

Hello Charles,

I can't believe I found you. I hope you get this reply. Your original posting is 6 years old!

Just yesterday I found your family's old bible with genealogy filled out by Robbie Wood Hipple. It was only $6 so I bought it hoping to find a family member who wants it.

Hope to hear from you.

Linda, Would you transcribe the information in the Hipple Bible that you bought and post it on this site or the Hipple list?

I found a William H. Hipple b. 1906 d. 1968 with wife Lillian R. (Unknown) b. 1913 d. 1999 buried in the Three Bridges Reformed Church Cemetery, Three Bridges, Hunterdon Co., NJ. His parents Augustus Hipple b. January 1880 d. 1936 and wife Olive Mattison b. September 1884 d. 1913 are also there.

Further research gave me 5 other siblings of William H. Hipple:
Elizabeth b. 1904, John M. b. 1905, August b. 1908, Jacob C. b. 1911, and Olive b. 1913--all born in NJ.

John M. b. 1905 d. 1971 was married to Miriam G. Case b. 1903 d. August 2006 and they are also buried in the Three Bridges Cemetery.

Mary,

I am sorry to disappoint you but the bible belonged to Robbie Wood's father. So, there is nothing on the Hipple's beyond William and I think he must havd died young.

R.C. Wood recorded his grandchildren and then another hand added his great grandchildren. The bible is not that old. It was given to R.C. Wood in 1941 for C-mass by his daughter, Robbie.
